Fisher STV-863
Documentation on the Fisher STV-863 is thin. What survives says these are large, 3-way floorstanding speakers built around a 12-inch woofer per cabinet. The driver complement is described as a 12" sub woofer with one midrange and one tweeter per box. A YouTube video titled "2 Vintage Fisher STV-863 12" Subs Bass Test" shows the speakers being pushed hard as subwoofers, which gives a sense of where their strength lies.
One design detail drew comment from a prospective buyer on the AIMP forum. It's a "threshold" or step at the bottom of the front baffle - a physical ledge in the front profile that the poster felt would be "ambiguously perceived" aesthetically. The same poster noted that there were "many variations" of the STV-863 and similar Fisher models, suggesting a broad family of near-identical cabinets. No power handling, impedance, frequency response, dimensions, production years, or original pricing have surfaced in any source. Used listings have asked anywhere from $40 to $175.
