Alaric 4722, from the mid '70s. Japanese made, but sold under a swedish marque. 
 
I don't know much else about them though. Maybe the owner here does.

cause the best crossover is no crossover at all.

those are Elega Brand OEM's I think. Model  DR-232CH

They had a similar Black version with red accents too:

I have the same ones under the Audiophile Brand name.
They were my FIRST headphones way back in the early 90's
Here's a shot of mine:
 

Just thinking about whether or not these might be a good donor for the orthos, may work.Hmmm
I hardly ever see Elega Branded stuff around. I wish there was more.
 
Interesting post about dual drivers.
 
Didn't that newer V-Moda have something dual in it?
Thanks.

I'll have to get around to opening these up and check the driver housing sizes and the setup for the crossover or whatever is there. It could be a custom mini 340 = leave a dynamic in and use the sfi for mid and bass is what i was thinking, or better yet what you mentioned maybe...If I ever get to opening them I'll post pics. The elastics could use replacing anyhow, but as far as I can remember Ill need to drill out some of those rivets on the band, maybe.
 
Oh that was a dual diaphragm (<= weird) Vmoda not a dual driver. My bad.

 I would love to try a pair. I love multi-driver speakers, but it's true that since the cans rest so close to your ears, there could be small delay. Those early OEMs looked amazing

I wanna know how they pull it off.
