Vintage Tesla speakers from the 1970s-1980s, such as the Supraphon RK 10 Flachbox, feature professional-grade drivers (ARE 667 wide-range and ARV 261 tweeters) that were originally used in cinema installations and the Prague State Opera. Despite their extremely shallow depth design (Flachbox), these speakers produce rich, full sound without dedicated bass speakers, demonstrating that enclosure volume and driver quality can compensate for limited physical space. The purple Tesla production codes indicate manufacturing dates, and these speakers typically operate at only 5 watts, which remains sufficient for living room use despite modern speakers having much higher power ratings.

Swag down with your red lips and funky to the sky. I'm going to roll with you till the day I die.
>> Welcome on my YouTube channel or on our YouTube channel better to say. Uh so dear friends uh just now or just now a few days ago ago arrived this I must say legendary uh Supra phone or we can say Tesla speaker boxes but on the labels are Suprahone RK10 but equipped with Tesla speakers and this is the next case when I must buy. Why? Because I think that I don't have video here on my YouTube channel with these speaker box boxes. Yes, I had but uh the video was deleted regarding the copyright on the on the music. So why I must buy them? I will explain explain it within few seconds because at first I would like to thank you everybody for watching our videos and if you would like to support our channel you can also join our channel. So um because they are equipped uh with professional full range oval speakers uh Tesla A 667 A O are are round and A E are the oval and these are really professional Finance speakers which were mounted originally for example in the legendary uh legendary cinema speaker boxes. The types of cinema Tesla speaker boxes uh begins usually a KR and for example there were three or six pieces in the legendary type AKR 153. There was three pieces of these incredible good full speakers as a mid-range or uh they were mounted also in the ARS 631 uh with vacuum tube amplifier. They were used also in the Czech Opra hall. Uh, incredible, incredible fullrange speakers, full range. But if they are mounted in huge uh enclosure, uh they they are sounding also from the bot also the base. Uh these speaker boxes were produced in 70s up to from early '7s from the year 1970 up to uh beginning of the 80s if I say it correctly. 1983 I did 19845.
But at the beginning there were mounted uh such a AR E667 uh with white or light gray paint and then from 70 uh 1970 up to 73 and then from the 73 later they were prod were mounted with blue paint. uh so uh I will open them and we'll see uh from which year it's uh when it was uh produced and usually uh but I don't have it in my head uh there are two letters and this is the Tesla production code here is RB if I read it correctly it's printed with violet violet paint and uh from this uh letters you can find uh the exact months and year of production but I have it in my computer or you can find it on my website Angelica Audio CZ if you click on the Tesla uh Tesla TVM there is also this uh list of alphabetical codes uh so and as as a tweeters uh this ARV261 also very interesting tweeters I must say I prefer prefer more the smaller ones ARV 3161. But uh these are also not bad. Originally mounted for example in the legendary uh Suprahone RK60.
Uh they were so huge and so uh good sounding uh Suprahone speaker boxes which were uh delivered originally in the in the set studio one. that were produced as a set only 100 pieces and uh of sets and uh for export. So uh usually or the front plate with textile is this front grill or textile grill is not dismountable. This is sealed but when I touch here I feel that it's not sealed.
Uh normally you must go inside to dismount this screws from the backside and this wire should not be here. Uh as you can see they are flat. So in German flu uh in your living room for example if you don't have enough space there. Uh but uh the sound is um not bad. But I must say the enclosure is too small for such a uh such a huge full speakers because I had here uh about maybe 30 years ago do it yourself speaker boxes. Uh and when I huge huge huge and uh when I connected them to an amplifier the sound was uh incredible and I didn't cannot uh cannot say which bass speakers are inside and I have opened them and I found this exactly this time with one tweeter and the sound was huge they they had in a volume about 60 liters and uh the sound was uh pretty pretty uh pretty nice. Uh here uh I have connected this uh right box only uh now because the wires are too short. You can uh see about uh 3 4 cm and uh here it was possible that it will be a little difficult and when I put uh down or put in the front this front plate uh it must go also with the cable. So now it's connected only this one. Let's try some base track.
So only one honor.
So what do you think about the sound?
Write me write me in comments and let's put it down. I don't know what's inside.
I've touched tried it only. So, so yes, I see here some glue.
Oh, so, so dear friends, this is reality totally dirty inside. And as I told before, they are the same same type like this one. So this is uh they were produced uh between the year 1970 up to 73.
This is reality. So I will not clean it.
I will not clean it. I will take the camera uh and I will make a detailed footage. As we can see here, very very very small electronic inside as I as I cross over with the Tesla letter. I must say I love such a speakers and I love to open it and to watch what's inside dust dust dust. So uh I will make detailed footage just now.
on the street with your red lips and funky beat. You better hold your head up to the sky. I'm going to roll with you till the day I die.
Swing around.
So dear friends, how do you like it?
Write me write me in comments. And uh regarding the uh power because by old Tesla or by old speakers the power which is pressed or printed on on the labels of old uh speakers from 60s7s it's a real number. So five watts only five watts and uh these speakers are really enough for your living room. Five watts nowadays when it will be produced anywhere in the far east there will be not five but at least 150 we can we can say. So dear friends uh thank you for watching, thank you for subscribing our YouTube channel and if you like our videos and if you would like to support our channel you can also join our channel. So have a nice day.
