I never heard the EV 30" woofers they don't sound good ?Originally Posted by Old Guy
Accelerating a cone that big presents issues...stopping it too...a mass in motion tends....etc.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
I was reading this link and it says that the cone is made out of foam.Probably for weight as you suggest trying to move a cone that big.It must move large amounts of air though.

The sides of the cabinet look tapered it is a corner horn I guess.
Well, yes. So does a hurricane.
The trick is to move air accurately....

Gotcha !! But what I found interesting was that it the 30" foam cone woofer crossed over at 100 Hz and says it is the largest successful driver ever produced.Highly efficient down into the 35-40 Hz region.I never heard one so I wouldn't know how they actually sound.But would like to.
Didn't sell many so I question successful...
Ever notice how horns tend to have a very dynamic, fast bass?
30W is the opposite...more of a drone...tends to round everything off...not much attack.

I think that can be partly due to the sheer size as a 30" woofer would need a very LARGE enclosure, and not many people or wives would want a 20-30 cu.ft. boxes in their living room.Thankfully I don't have that problem.:coffeedrinker:
Re: EV Patrician 800 Something you don't see often
...well then, why settle for that puny thing?

Discount for 10+ !
...and at least one person who seems to have actually done something with one:
Acoustic Horn - News
* AB I think you are in the area - there were a few of the EV's floating (no pun) around on CL a few months back... I can see if I can dig up email add's if interested... do not recall exactly, but IIRC at least one, or one set had damage. The other set, wanted multi-thousands.
The Hartley woofer...22-24inches in a horn loaded sub-woofer is the best big woofer I ever done heard....
