I just restored a pair of Jennings Research towers for a neighbor. It had dual 6.5 woofers, a 2" midrange and a domed tweeter. The tweeter and midrange were sunk into the cabinet about 2". I thought they would sound terrible and not image very well. Boy, was I wrong. Jennings did some things very wrong (fuses and a goofy cross-over) but nice cabinets, nice drivers but the wrong surround material on the woofers.

That's interesting, because I'd never heard of them before I bought them, and never really heard anything about them after.  If I remember, mine were only two-ways, so there may have been more than one model.  But I remember how nice the cabinets were.  They had sort of a parquet thing going on the top.
