Are these the old br6? They look the same but cannot find anything online about them?

There are a couple of websites that seem to list a speaker that looks identical to the BR6 as an MR130i or MR260i (seemingly interchangeable)

http://ohm.ru/soundsystems.html

But the vast majority of image search results for mr130i brings up a totally different speaker with "mr130i' clearly printed on the front.


If anything the BR6 is an updated MR-260i. The format is the same but the drivers look different.

Also the porting is different. MR-260i has two bass ports on the rear, BR6 has one.

Edit: Much more interesting from the Ohm.ru website though is this happy character:

Haha thanks for the reply after looking round it seems identical to the br5 grill included, i picked them up from a local cash convertors for 20 quid and on the rear it has one port and a set of binding post terminals with some information. It says ohm mr130i 100 watts and that is it, they also have the foam fronts as well.

So basically they had an old model of speaker called the mr-130i (pictured in my post), then they changed the design to what is now the br5, but they continued calling them mr-130i for a little bit before changing the name, and that's what you've got?

MR-130i became to BR-5, and went through 3 variations i think before turning into CT-6. After that it became BR-6 on the current range.

MR-260i is the old BR-6, current BR-26 in the range.

I think.

You missed the 4th variation between the BR-5 and the CT-6 where it turned into a frog.
