I have a feeling that the speakers are merely a prop built by the set designers though. Hope I'm wrong .

That sounds like the best possibility since I see no tweeter in that picture. Unless they are full range speakers.

Perhaps the tweeter is coaxial.

Nice job, Texitura!!!

I found this quick write-up when I did a Google Image search:

"KEF Reference series 105-3 speakers. Solid and heavy at more than 40 kg each. Uses 3 visible woofers and two hidden in the cabinet. The center woofer in the front has a coaxial tweeter. All this is per side. A lot of drivers for the asking price. Extended bass and dynamics with the appropriate amplifier. Rated at 300W into a 4 ohm load. Dimension are 43"H x 16"D x 11"W."

And this:

...and a product of the 1980s as well!

Just another interesting aspect of caring about the authenticity of the time period in American Psycho.

The choice in speakers makes allot of scene considering his expensive taste in the movie, plus a great choice in speakers.
