Especially nowadays when some audiophiles think a 5 inch driver is a woofer, and a 10 inch direct radiator is a serious sub.

I wish I had kept mine, I let it go to an organ collector.
Mine was from a Rodgers Organ installation that also included a Klipsch LaScala.
Frankly, Baldwin had a quad 15 cabinet that was better. The drivers had a 15hz Fs with a higher x-max than the EV, were less expensive, and available.
Responded to an add about a pair of Altec VOTT speakers....the owner was an exmarine from WWII who was married to a Japanese wife!! He was using an EV 30" speaker as a subwoofer driving it with a Marants 8B tube amp. The speaker enclosure was a closet size poured concrete reinforced structure. The Pair of VOTT A7-500 cabs were driven by Marants 9 amps. He was retired and moving and wanted to sell everything. Suffice it to say I bought the VOTT cabs immediately. He only wanted $550 !! the EV 30" for $50!! The model 9s went to his friend. The couple was so nice I did not want to buy the Marants 8b figuring that it was easy to transport and he could use it.....onlý wanted $650 for it. The EV 30" only had a 2" VC and magnet size of a 15" driver but was very efficient and able to respond down to 16 Hzs. These speakers became the basis of my surround sound home theater set up with 5 VOTT cabs etc. Crazy big system !!
