Paul,
The slow death of another company from the "golden years "
of audio.
Back around 1978 I was in the market for speakers and always admired the EV line BUT they no longer had the good old drivers.
I ended up with the new versions. An SP15 something with a hidden 1 ohm resistor behind one of the basket ribs, 1823M mids that had replaced the T25A, metal 8HD horns, and the T35 tweeters that appeared to be the same except that they were 8 ohm. And I bought all the new xovers to go with the drivers.
I had them all mounted in proper size if not a bit larger cabinets using the EV quide for woofer port.
I did everything I could to make that combo sound good but I ended up selling the drivers and xovers off and buying a pair of EV Regency's with the 15W, T25A, the original fiberglass 8HD horns and T350 tweeters. They were 16 ohm all the way and the xovers had all original caps. What a big difference for the better.
Maybe someday I'll come into some disposable money and go after a pair of the earlier Patricians, the ones without that 30" woofer.
