    My guess is the EV...but I would wait to see what whitebroncoii says.

    He knows way more about the new stuff.

    There were a few Altecs with Gauss inside.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.

    The AB2200 was a relabeled Electro-Voice TL12-1E. It is loaded with an EV woofer developed specifically for this application. Performance can be described as a mid-bass product that does not have much output below 70Hz. You can download the TL12-1E data sheet at . . . http://archives.telex.com/archives/EV/Speakers/EDS/

    I'd be concerned with the cabinet integrity, ALL of the mitered corners show fractures(or worse) in the paint, which likely is an indication of movement at the joint, probably from dry/humid cycles. These appear to be made of a composite similar to OSB which draws moisture like a sponge.

    Hi,
    I opened the boxes.
    Some traces of moisture inside.
    No marks on the paper cones of speakers.
