    Artistic genius!

    I have a typewriter and I cant do it - the man calculates the strokes and translates them into a picture frame -like a dot matrix would do - pure mathematics -

    with the difference that the KG didnt blow -

    -I would have thought that the KAPPA C was more like a k43 - less bass -as these need 4x more power -the k33 is a 100 watts woofer versus the Kappa C 's 400 plus - please can you give us your feedback -tx

    Gentlemen , I did appreciate the history that Andrea87 has shared with us as to the origin of the speaker and the family connection of a Lady who until 2 years ago was listening to her EV Patrician - she must have been a true musician at heart - - I can imagine the fond memories and would I had been the owner - I would have preferred to pass it on to my family as it is entirely plausible to restore it would any parts fail - -the tweeter diaphragm is available - so are spares -and all the rest of the parts - the crossover caps can be upgraded as well - a speaker such as this can be operative in a few hours or less -

    Here is the EV Patrician IV manual - the Patrician series look alike the speaker we are looking at - the question that is yet to be answered by Andrea87 is whether this is a Patrician 1-2-3-4 - the OP mentionned that the speaker was installed around 1951 - 66 years ago , so , if the year is exact that should indicate a series 1 - www.electrovoice.com/downloadfile.php?i=971513

    I see 30k plus shipping -that is why most of us have bowed out - a more realistic price may have gathered interest - this is a garage sale after all - less the garage price -

    Andrea - Sellers that are looking for an item like yours will be notified when one goes up for sale. The top dollar buyers (and also scammers) will likely be out of country, which may complicate matters for you. Still, eBay will generate the largest possible exposure, which in turn should generate the largest possible profit. If you have a figure that you're willing to sell it for, maybe use that as the reserve. If you're patient, and want the maximum exposure, go for a much longer auction period. the sky is the limit for the right buyer - Agreed sky is the limit but OP did ask for information on pricing the OP really wants 30k - why not start at 30k - if it sells , we would all be very happy -

    I second this remark as we all are looking at a speaker that was designed by EV with the original concept that was PWK 's genius - -it is a beautiful speaker - we wish you a good luck with your sale - possibly the EV forum can help in this regards -

    from what you are saying - The CW II cabinets dont have the acoustic foam that came in the CW1 from the factory - hence , the MDF resonates as a consequence of this missing in the cabinet - do you know if that applies as well to the CW3 - I am surprised that the tests in the anechoic chamber at Klipsch in Hope Ark didnt show the issue of resonance -
  12. OO1
    these speakers were sold by klipsch in Frankfurt Germany - the agreement was with Kiipsch and the US army to allow the sales of these speakers in all US bases - and installations in Germany - through the Government stores - these were therefore owned by a serviceman who brought these back to the USA - -the speakers you see are Decorator Heresy 1 -logos are from 1975-1977 - painted black -

    the kits from parts express are bare cabs - not painted -you have to do all the work - a Yamaha dual 18 inch on ebay costs 650$ ready to use and the have the Eminence drivers we all like -

    the Ultimax 18 is better -

    Pro-full size racks are the way to go -1 installation -most have provisions for AC or fans -they can be tore down in pieces and screwed back if space is a problem - - racks can be locked saveguarding the contents from undesirables -and be placed out of view - I bolt my equipment to the rack with brackets - -all the wiring is internally and tagged on the sides - the electrical connections can be mess-free as there is ample room in the corners to route the wiring and clip in place - - a power bar with surge control can be mounted vertically in the rack frame to supply 220 or 110V - these power bars follow the rack 's sections from top to bottom - for power failures - a UPS can be installed at the bottom of the rack - with intelligent software - settings are endless - -any fan will be noisy - strange as it seems - window dual fans are the quiestest fans around and they do the job without AC -

    just take it easier - and all will be fine -

    you need an audio rack designed for audio gear - usually narrower - plus audio racks are dime a dozen and much cheaper than server racks - -dont forget that these need wheels to be moved around - and they tend to be quite tall - so you need a lot of headroom - -they are also quite heavy - look for racks that can be cooled with an AC hose through the top -or sides / in case - and that come with locks to saveguard the precious equipment -- some racks also have power swtches for several components with surge protection at the rear so connections are a breeze -

    I will second that - the 18 inch will give a thunderring sound that is as fast as a 15 -lower than a single 15 - and with more punch - now if you want more : a dual 15 inch sub is the right choice - I have 2 of these - they use Eminence woofers - and are 5/8 " birch cabinets http://usa.yamaha.com/products/commercial_audio/speakers/installation_series/is1215/

    The upgrades of the mids and tweeter diaphragms is best as well as these are old after 30 years of usage - old caps - old diaphragms - woofers are the only items that last - even new non-titanium diaphragms will sound better than the current - titanium will have a brighter tone - if you listen to classical music , you will notice improvement with the acoustics -

    -I have to say that this speaker is very well finished - the speaker is like a tribute of the quality EV stood for in these years -theElectro Voice Patrician was a rare item for sure - I would love to have it in my collection but at what price - -now if you had a pair - I would jump at the opportunity -
  21. OO1
    - I did a setup that upgraded the caps and the titanium diaphragms - I found the titanium too bright at first but it did settle in after a month or so - will you part with the crossovers or just do the upgrade of the caps - I am interested in the CWII stock crossovers if you decide to sell these -
  22. OO1
    I like the grille that is screwed rather than with velcro strips -as you can see-through the cabinet -
  23. OO1
    the listing has expired -
  24. OO1
    I see that you had to releive the motorboard and the wood brace behind the motorboard -as long as there no vibrations in that area , that looks to do the job very well -
  25. OO1
    I recently recapped a set of B and E crossovers using NOS GE cans - the old sound is back - for the B3 - the Audyn 68MF doesnt sound bad at all - I guess that a 70MF wasnt available for specs matching
