The 906's weren't very good sounding, I will give you that much. Neither were the DH1012's. Neither one of them had high frequency extension much past 13k.

However, for PA applications, I have several of them that I put DH1A diaphragms into, and they work fine. Not quite as sensitive as a real DH1A because of the smaller magnet, but they put out a lot of sound and I have covered 800 people easily with 4 of them witn 75 watts to each horn in a 4-way active PA system.

Speaking of horns...I am looking for 3 more MRII564 horns eventually to complete my PA system, so if anybody out there has some for sale at a cost effective (read cheap!) price, please let me know! I have been watching ebay for months with no success.
