    Are these A5's?

    Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

    Right, big multi-cell do not an A5 make without the 515. Come to think of it, I don't recall any 416/large format multi-cell combo models.

    Right the A7-500 had 416's but they also had small format drivers as far as I can tell the A-5 were loaded with various models of 515's through the years from the original RWB 515's to the 515E or G and maybe couple others as well (GHP) etc..... But the majority I think were produced during the 515B period.Something along those lines AFAIK.


    Addendum: Yes the original A-5's were 550 Lbs.But the picture Cal showed was of a 825/828 cab.

    They were building/installing A5's in 1945 before the 825 cabinet was introduced, and went into the 1990's with the revised versions. I think an A5 system has been available longer than 604's.
