I've restored a set of B&O Hojttaler Type K, mostly cosmetic because they seem to work OK.
I'm wondering if there are other things to look at?
The surroundings of the speakers are in perfect condition.
Can someone tell me more about the filling/isolation inside the speakers?
Here they are:
Beautiful!
Consider me jealous. 'Can't help you though.
When I first saw them I loved the Art Deco kind of looks.
They really sound great on a small amp and not to big a room.
Atm. there is a pair on eBay for € 1500 😉

Even more ridiculous is a pair of B&O speakers for 2500 EUR on Leboncoin. I'll send a link when I'm back from a birthday meal out.

Consider me jealous as well!
Got some type Ls and type Bs, I really do love the design of these older speakers. Unusual as well,

Here is the link I promised for the 2500 EUR speakers:
That is a ridicules price, you will always find some idiot who will pay it. If your lucky 😁
I've replaced the speaker-cable with a set of gold-plated terminals.
They are installed in the bottom and can easily be removed. You can hardly see them.
The original cable I've connected them and the rest is inside the speaker.
If someone wants to return to the original cable it is still possible.
For me it is more convenient this way and I can use any length or make of cable I prefer.
This may very well be a dead thread but in any event, I am in San Diego, CA cleaning house after my mother's passing several weeks ago. I have come across a pair of these speakers in the garage which was purchased while they both lived in Europe in the early 1960's. They look to be in very good shape but I do not have access to something adequate to power them. I have no reason to think the speakers don't function and there is not a scratch on the cabinets. I currently use PSB Gold's as my main front speakers. Any clue as to whether this is a step forward or backward? Assuming that they function as intended to, what would be a reasonable price?
Just hook them up, you will be surprised how they sound.
Their not "disco" speakers so loud music is a no-go.
But they just sounds amazing, et least to me.
Sorry for you loss, all the best for you and your family.
