Description from the seller

Jensen Model 20 2-way bookshelf speaker system manufactured in the mid-1970s in the United States. It is valued by vintage audio collectors for its retro design and balanced sound typical of the era.

Main Technical Specifications
System Type: 2-way with sealed enclosure (acoustic suspension).
Components:
Woofer: 8-inch (approx. 20 cm) with ceramic magnet.
Tweeter: Direct-radiating (frequently a phenolic ring tweeter).
Impedance: 8 Ohms.
Power: Up to 40-50 watts (Musical/Peak).
Frequency Response: Approximately 35 Hz – 20,000 Hz.
Dimensions: 46.5 cm (H) x 28 cm (W) x 21 cm (D).
Weight: Approximately 7 kg.
The Jensen Model 20 speakers are highly valued primarily for their pleasant, warm, and balanced sound within the category of 1970s audio equipment. While not extreme hi-fi monitors, they offer a sound experience that many enthusiasts consider superior to more expensive products from that era and even today.
Key sound characteristics:
Pleasant reproduction: They are described as speakers with a "pleasant" sound.
Frequency response: They offer a range from 35 Hz to 20,000 Hz, providing comprehensive coverage from deep bass to clear treble for their size.
Air suspension design: They utilize a sealed enclosure with an 8-inch woofer, which typically results in more controlled and precise bass compared to ported designs.
Vocal clarity: Users highlight a noticeable improvement in vocal clarity and a more natural tone compared to other speakers, even those theoretically superior.
In excellent cosmetic and working condition.
