EV SRO speakers

Post by James Morehead »

I have acquired a 15" EV SRO 15B speaker( probably a bass speaker?). This speaker has a small paper dust cover(about 3") and is 8 ohmes. It has a huge magnet with "fins" on it. Does anybody have any experience with a speaker like this with steel. Could this be reconed to 4 ohmes, ect? How do they compare to the EV 15L's? Would a speaker like this be good to use as an extension speaker with the EV 15L-4 in my Twin?

Yes, It's a bass speaker. So what? I've got a huge Altec-Lansing design cabinet that I built with <u>two</u> of these speakers in it, and it sounds fabulous! The SRO and EVM speakers were some of the best ever made. Before you recone it, I'd try it as-is first...I think it'll surprise you!

(It's also the perfect extension speaker for your Twin.)

Donny, As you were posting, I was playing this speaker. I'd have to say, I'm in total agreement with you---I'm pleasantly surprised! I just might go back for the other two just like it! Image

I think bass speakers work great, using BW 1502 instead of 1501, smoother sound

I'm currently dealing on 2 more SRO 15B's. They were a matched set of four---white framed speakers. One was sold off already. I got the second one. I am going to keep one more so I have a pair, and sell off the other. If any one wants the extra one, e-mail me. The two that I'm dealing on are definate recone candidates, they are blown.
