A folded horn question -electro voice aristocrat

Recommended Posts

I know this is the klipsch forum but I thought amongst you all , some one might have suggestions on what drivers should go in this cabinet. I believe the one I have has just a 12 woofer without any mids or tweeter. When I look back at EV ads from the old days, it seems to have had many different configurations. Any suggestions from this group on what might sound best for this cabinet? Thanks and I hope the moderators allow this sort of off topic post.

The Aristocrat could be loaded with several options. You could get a 12TRXB triaxial with the whizzer cone and built in T35 tweeter. A two way system consisted of using an SP12B, and a T35B tweeter with an X36 crossover. A 3-way system consisted of a 12BW woofer, a T10A mid range driver with the 8HD horn, and a T35B tweeter along with an X825 and X36 crossover. For the ultimate system, substitute the SP12B with an SP12, the T10A with a T25A, the T35B with a T35 and the X825 with an X8. All combinations mentioned sound great but it all depends on how much money you want to spend and how great you want it to sound.

Thank you both for the information, especially to Speakerfritz for the article. I think that I have a "one way" speaker, if there is such a thing. The openings for the mid or tweeter horn are covered over and there is just a plain 12" speaker. Was this a common iteration ( i.e. the cheapest) for the aristocrat, and if indeed that's all I have, how much of the audio spectrum is being missed? Thank you again. Norm

He continually amazes me as he always pops up with just the right ingredient...

Perhaps we're asking him the wrong questions.... Fritz.... about the lottery.... PM me with the numbers, ok? [;)]

Gee...I never got this question outside of the Casino fourms. Gambling is illegal in NY, so I can't answer this from my home PC.

If you know the winning bets, we have a guest room with your name on it here in Las Vegas.
