I've always liked the 828's, my Dad built his first horn rig with them back in the day. The "big man on campus" in Dad's audio club had an amazing rig with them and an EV30W sub. This was in the early 60's, and this rig could hold it's own with the best stuff I've heard at audio shows today. I mean it actually imaged in the early 60's! As to specs on the Patrician, the later ones had the 30" 30W woofer with an Fs of 16 Hz, and it's a thing unto itself. They were the rage of the first audio show I attended back then. EV made the Patrician well into the mid/late 70's with the entire late output going to Japan (or so I've read), which got the SET craze 20 years before we did here in the US. PWK complained about a hump in the response of the 828 and it's re-entrant horn, but that would be easily addressed today.
