Bill H. Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Gary/ Larry C, Saw this and thought of you guys..... Electrovoice EV15 Woofers. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50597&item=5741672367&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Bill, those don't look at all like the Alnico EV's 15WK's Greg and I are familiar with (see his Shorthorn pics). Without the "K", they are probably 16-ohms rather than 4 ohms which Klipsch used for his lineup. Maybe EV's post-alnico magnet version, which was no great shakes. Thanks, tho', good 15WK's are good finds. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Larry, 10:30?? I thought you said "early?" Well, I will be there in spirit. Take your camera, to document your adventure! You know how we love pictures!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Gary and I visited this morning. I didn't bother with pics, as he had the top and front off. The exterior is a moderately light, only fair mahogany with crud in one area that might be removable. The grille is a rather nondescript cane color. Inside: a bronze-pot EV T-35 tweeter, a University SAHF (I'm pretty sure), and a brilliant blue Stephens 103 woof. He has never listened to it and didn't have it hooked up, so we couldn't hear it. He wasn't interested in a low offer, and we left it with him. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Probably could have walked away with it for $200 but I think I only would have taken it if he gave it to me. It was nice and would have cleaned up well but........ I also had Greg on the phone. Wasn't worth it to him since he already has 2 and this is a lighter color and had the gold grill cloth, not the cool looking multi-color cane. Plus shipping to Maine................. Nice conversation piece but like I said, I'd probably end up just talking to myself. If anyone is interested, it's small enough that I could possibly store it for a while and it should clean up pretty nicely. Assume $250 to $300 if you want it. He already had offers over $150 and more coming. If I act fast, I may still be able to get it. All the drivers look to be in good shape and it has a perfect original Klipsch Shorthorn metal badge.

garymd Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Oh yeah. Pretty funny seeing the dumbfounded look on the guy's face when Larry started talking about crossovers and cycles and hertz. He'd never even hooked the thing up. Bought it at an estate sale thinking he could make some money. Little did he know he'd probably be lucky to break even! Too bad it wasn't a Khorn like the ad implied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipschfoot Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Estate sale my eye. Goodwill (or comparable) most likely. He's a troller/flipper most likely. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. We all gotta eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
