Free audition if you're interested.

@MookieStl, yours are local and tempting, but I'd want them in white.

Thanks,

The speakers are in my shop Kirkwood/Valley Park area. I'm in the city.

OK thanks. I don't get into St Louis County very often; Kirkwood is actually a pretty long drive. If you find a buyer then don't wait for an answer from me. I've just started thinking about this and haven't made any firm decisions, yet -- still looking for candidates and checking my piggy bank. GLWS

 Looks like they're all sold out except for the white ones I believe the 396's are being discontinued? Maybe just PHT is no longer selling "pro" gear? $2k new for a pair is a steal they were already heavily discounted at $3500 a pair just a few weeks back.

Maybe this is the replacement ?

 

Interestingly the crossover on this model is 750 Hz, very close to the Cornwall 4.

B-black.  There's also W-white and R-raw (birch).  

 

I forget what it stands for but the SMA-II versions basically tell you that they have flypoints for hanging them from a ceiling.  Some older versions without this designation don't have the flypoints.

I do believe a bunch of large cinema chains in the USA went under, and Hope got left holding the bag.

 

Now it's all to order.
