Fisher 60B
Little is documented about the Fisher 60B apart from Fisher's own advertising. There the model appears as the XP-60B, a two-way bookshelf loudspeaker system advertised from 1969 into 1971.
Fisher's announcement copy, carried in High Fidelity (September 1969, p.5), introduced the XP-60B as a two-way bookshelf system with two drivers at $79.95. Later ads got bolder. They insisted it was the best-sounding $79.95 bookshelf speaker around, with outstanding bass from a 10-inch acoustic-suspension woofer (High Fidelity, February 1970, p.3). The tweeter was a soft dome of impregnated cotton or formed mylar. Fisher said it eliminated parasitic high-frequency resonances and the coloration they caused (High Fidelity, March 1971, p.2).
Known specs, as advertised:
- Two-way bookshelf speaker system, two drivers
- 10-inch acoustic-suspension woofer
- Soft-dome tweeter (impregnated cotton or formed mylar)
- List price: $79.95
No independent test reports, service manuals, or confirmed production dates have surfaced. The record is essentially Fisher's own marketing.
