Things you see on Ebay....

I'm always looking for vintage speakers, and this is something you don't see everyday.

30" woofers anyone?!

A Piece???!!!! Hey I love vintage and obsure speaks like nobody's business. Heck I'm listening to my computer on a pair of Logik nearfields and my rears are Allison 4's so I love the obscure and different in speakers But these bad boys yikes. No castors? Yipes. The size of a small block engine ala 289 Cu. In. Could you imagine moving those monsters on regular basis? And the price an't gonna help em move either. Don't cost nothing to look though... keep em comin. Thanks

Good Lord! Those EV's make K-horns looks positively petite by comparison. EV makes awesome concert monitors so it would be interesting to hear these. I'd wager they are pretty efficient to boot.

Interesting stuff. I'm a Peavey guy myself but I certainly respect EV. I never even knew they ventured into home equipment.

My guess is that what this speaker is a complete EV movie theater rig set into a couple of furnature grade cabinets. My friend's band uses EV speakers and they are super efficient, so I bet this thing could blow out your windows with the right amp.

Knew you'ld like it dude, this is the ultimate "not like Bose" speaker eh?!

Hook these up to your PS Audio amp and watch "For Sale" signs sprout all over the neighbors lawns!

The ultimate in high-fidelity, and look ma no cables!

I saw these back in the seventies. Very efficient, I believe they can be driven with as little as 1/2 watt. Definitely not for every living room, but a real contender to Klipsch' and ideal for SET.

Where do you dig up this stuff :D? Hey, even if you didn't use the onboard speakers, I'd bet you get some fun acoustics inside that thing with your speakers aimed right at it. Question: Am I the only one that thinks the ottoman looks an awful lot like another type of "throne?" Hell, it even has the stains on the bottom!

Well they got this option now on your profile page, you can name yourself what you like. So I chose what I chose since I used to be a Sgt. in the Combat Engineers... many many years and pounds ago.

I remember those things. The only time I sat in the "egg", I knocked by head on is and bled.

Ebayer's Anonymous. You got too much time on your hands son. But I will say that those monsterous speakers in Utah look "interesting". How you gonna get a set of speakers that have to be dismantled and trucked cross country on flat bed trucks? They must have been from a Drive In movie theatre or outdoor music venue but they are amazingly large.

Thanks fer the interesting posts...

Da Worfster :p

I wouldn't pay a penny over $19,500.00 for those!!!

Bet the neighbors take notice when you install these puppies in the den....

Planar tech + 12 woofer mahem. Who could ask for more!

WOW! While I hate the cabinetry choice (walnut, uhg :p) if I had the room I'd consider taking a run at those. If those are true IRS's, they probably sound amazing...again if you have the room. They're only $2,200 w/ 4 days left so it will be interesting to see what they climb to. It won't be cheap.

and a shipping company, and the two grand. I'd take a run at those. The cabinetry is nasty lookin' but that just might be the camera exposure. Sheesh. all dem drivers and planars... It would be interesting though...

Da Worfster :D

The best horn loaded speaker made. It certainly costs enough!
