We have a pair of Empire Royal Grenadier 9000M in good condition, including all wood, original imported marble tops, and of course the speakers. Original owner since 1970, having paid $300 for them. Available in Jersey City.

We have a pair of Empire Royal Grenadier 9000’s without the marble tops. They are not for sale, but someone asked if anyone was still using a pair and how thye sound. I had the speakers reconditioned at a place in Tampa called Speaker Exchange. The sound is tremendous! Just doesn’t get any better than this.

I just picked up a pair of 8400 Grenadier’s at the GW for 47.00 and no tops. I don’t even know the year of manuf. My brother happens to be in the granite and marble buisness, I wish I new what they used for the tops he could locate and fab me a nice pair. He already offered to make a set for me, but I told him to hang on to see if I can find any info about the tops specifically. A bit rough but will clean up nicely. THANKS for saving this catalog, although mine are not in it, info on these is a bit scarce as you know. Once cleaned up I will shoot you some pics for the site for you to do with as you please, use, toss, post elsewhere, its all good. THANKS again for posting this, and to all those who commented as well.

In reply to Nancy. The 9000s have the terminals under them. Yours Should be the same. Sit the marble top aside and tilt them over and look underneath. .Don't go smaller numerically than 14 Gage pure copper wires. I am trying to figure out how to pick up a nice pair of 9000s at an estate sale for $300. Without getting strangled for buying more speakers.
