**Listing this for $1 bid and No Reserve, might be great opportunity to get a very rare vintage EV corner horn speaker for a song. Offered is a 1950’s built Electro-Voice EV Speaker. I believe based on building plans I found that this is a specially designed Horn loaded speaker based on the Klipschorn designed licensed to to Ev. From the the build it appears to be be a rare variation of the Centurion using the EV 18WK 18” woofer that was used in the Patrician, with a more complex h...orn loading than the standard Centurion.. The measurements are 53.25” high x 26” deep x 50” side to side at the widest point x 35” at the front. I obtained this speaker from the estate of the original owner. This speaker is built to a very high professional quality in 7 ply plywood internally and Formica over 7 ply on the external top and sides. The drivers are all original and feature the EV 18WK, and the components of the Centurion, 828 compound 16ohm mid driver on a 849 horn, T35b super sonax tweeter, and a second T35 on the opposite side. Crossover is the x336. Everything appears to be original to the build. This speaker sounds incredible. I sold an original 1954 103b Patrician last year and this out performs it in bass response and immediacy and detail in the midrange and upper most treble. Huge impact of this incredible speaker! The speaker will be for pickup here in Santa Barbara Ca, I can store it for up to 2 weeks after auction for buyer to pickup, however payment is due within 3 days.On Oct-17-20 at 11:43:48 PDT, seller added the following information:If winning bidder would like just the drivers and parts, I can ship those by fedex ground in 2 or 3 boxes.
