Lafayette / Goodmans SK-500 Full-Range Loudspeakers
$500
Lafayette SK-500 Tri-axial speakers were made in England for Lafayette Radio by Goodmans of England, Goodmans Triaxiom speakers were quality drivers comparable to Tannoy, Wharfedale, JBL, and Electro-Voice models. The cast frame appears the same as that used on several Goodmans driver including the Axiom 301.
The SK-500 is an interesting model that does not seem to have an equivalent in the Goodmans line. It is described as a “Pneumatic Air Suspension 12” Speaker 3-way hi-hi speaker”. I believe this means the high-compliance driver is designed for a sealed enclosure.
I found the following information in the 1966 Lafayette catalog
- massive unitary die cast chassis
- Internal crossover: 2000hz (mechanical?) and 5000hz high-pass with l-pad
- Bass: woofer “1.75 pound magnet (AlNiCo) fundamental resonance 22-27 hz.
- Midrange : balanced mid-range radiator- Highs: “dome lens” compression-type multicellular horn
- frequency range 25-20000 Hz
- Power rating 30 watts
- impedance 8-16 ohm (?)
- driver weight : 18 pounds)
Condition:
This speaker is in excellent condition for a 50 years of age. Both woofer and tweeter are working. The woofer cone and surround are in excellent condition with the rubber-like surround still very compliant. I did no open up the tweeter assembly to inspect it but it is working.
They are currently in a diy sealed enclosure at the moment to test them. But welcome to have them if are of interest.
