Andrea87 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks to Jimjimbo, I think we finally may know what's inside... I used my phones light with the lights off to take a peak. This seems to match the portions I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It has an 18" low-bass driver. The 18" sub-woofer is just now all the rage. How far ahead of the curve was that design? A half-century? After all the posts, the cool pictures, and the catalog with description of the drivers, am I the only one who wants to do a road trip just to listen to this beauty?

Andrea87 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 You're adventurous. You're right, this, as well as nearly everything in that house was ahead of its time. Those who don't join you, will surely miss hearing something grand. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniper Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 That is just amazing, don't know how good those drivers are, but the cabinet design is simply vintage awesome..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea87 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Is anyone cannula enough with this EV cabinet to suggest the safest way to open it to get the absolute specs on each speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea87 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Let's try this again.... Is anyone familiar enough with this EV cabinet to suggest the safest way to open it to get the absolute specs on each speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea87 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi MDENEEN. I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure out which speakers and specs are in the cabinet. Do you want to make an offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi MDENEEN. I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure out which speakers and specs are in the cabinet. Do you want to make an offer? I formerly taught negotiation. What you are asking is for the other party to "anchor." Good work, Andrea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) -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 - Edited January 25, 2015 by Randyh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I can't be both a buyer and a seller. Obviously you have never seen the new reality show, "Flip This Speaker." It is the story of an experienced audiophile, formerly operating his own boutique firm, who buys and sells high end equipment. It stars a dashing, devil may care man in his golden years who travels the world seeking out that "special deal." Subplots include intrigue, brief relationships with the world's most beautiful women, and the occasional argument with online adversaries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If the Patrician is anything like my Aristocrat or Regency, there is a good possibility that the front panel actually slides off the entire enclosure. You may have to lay the speaker on it's back, look on the bottom of the front panel, and there may be screws or wooden blocks holding the panel in place. Those would need to be removed, and the panel would then slide off toward the bottom of the unit. I hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea87 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks, everyone, for your comments. Jimjimbo, i will try that and let you know! Mdeneen, yes it is for sale. But, it is hard to sell when I don't know the components that make it valuable, which is why I need to get into the cabinet. When I first posted this, I had no idea that there were several speaker options. I'm assuming it is the best of the best because Harry Nace would not have ordered anything less for his home. But, I wouldn't want to disappoint the buyer. Nor would I want to take less. The best sale is where it is a win win for everyone. Why are you interested in it? To do this right, I should identify your needs/wants, right? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea87 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seanwalsh, you're funny. Is the third baseman implying I'm getting the guy out (stopping the sale), before he makes a home run? I'm assuming because I didn't respond earlier. It's because I wasn't feeling well and turned in early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea87 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have heard that these units sell for $5k-30k depending on the cabinetry on the outside (EV assembled, which this is, is the best) and the speakers inside (we're assuming ours is top of the line for the year built). It was also owned by Harry Nace, which is a plus. Is anything in that range a possibility with you? I know you said price is everything. I want to sell this. But, I certainly don't want to be taken advantage of. So, if you need a starting 'for sale' before negotiation price, let's start with $30k + shipping. We can work down from there.

Andrea87 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Wow! I can make the same $9 regardless of how many cakes i have. Since i only have 1 cake, i better get the full $9. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
