In Reply to: What are the top 12" and 15" vintage drivers for open baffle? posted by Plinko on August 8, 2012 at 09:30:57:
The Electrovoice "Wolverine" series LS-12/LS-15 and the EV SP-12B/SP-15B (all twincones with some HF extension) are well suited to OBs. By extension, I would expect their coax cousins (LT-12, LT-15, 12TRXB and 15TRXB) to all be good candidates as well.
Having said that...
Joseph Esmilla espoused putting Altec Duplexes on his OBs; I've never tried it, but I have listened to a pair of 604Cs sitting on the floor and it sounded good enough to me to put me on the quest for a pair of Duplexes myself. I fulfilled that quest a couple of years ago with a pair of 604Es and Mastering Labs XO... but I have to admit I have them in boxes, not on OBs :-)
all the best,
mrh
