Pair of 1961 Jensen Woofers Voice of Music Console 12J11/V1377 Jensen 220134/21225 - 4 Ohm SpeakersAlnico Vintage Sound & Look.
New, a pair of replacement vintage woofer drivers like these would be costly to source, so US$75 for the pair lands just under the US$76 25th percentile and looks like a solid bargain versus the usual used market. With a median at US$80 and the top of the recent spread up at US$150, this is priced on the friendly side rather than just “fair.”
The appeal here is straightforward: Jensen console-era woofers have a good reputation for efficient, lively presentation and are often bought to restore Voice of Music and similar vintage systems, where originality matters. If the cones are intact, the voice coils are clean, and the magnets haven’t been abused, there’s real upside for a restorer or parts hoarder. At this price, it’s worth moving quickly if you need this style of driver.

Jensen traces its origins to 1915, when Danish-born inventor Peter L. Jensen, alongside Edwin Pridham, pioneered the world's first practical loudspeaker, dubbing it the Magnavox. In 1927, Jensen founded the Jensen Radio Manufacturing Company in Chicago, initially producing speakers for radios, military applications, and public address systems. The brand quickly dominated, supplying OEM components to 60% of U.S. independent radio makers within two years, and evolved through entities like Jensen Industries into a cornerstone of post-war audio innovation.
Historically renowned for loudspeakers—ranging from coaxial designs in the 1940s to triaxial models and raw drivers—the brand powered iconic guitar amplifiers from Fender and Gibson during the 1950s and 1960s. Production of original hi-fi speakers ceased in the late 1960s, but the name endures through licensed reissues by SICA in Italy since the 1990s, including modern Jet Series for guitars, alongside contemporary mobile audio like car receivers, amplifiers, and multimedia systems under Namsung America.
Today, Jensen occupies a mid-tier consumer position, blending vintage heritage with accessible mobile and automotive electronics rather than high-end hi-fi. Its reputation rests on pioneering tone and reliability, appealing to nostalgic collectors, guitar enthusiasts, and everyday drivers seeking value-driven performance over boutique exclusivity.
