OT: Looking for a recent upload of Stereo Review equipment

**VolvoHeretic** · November 30th, 2012, 02:03 AM

I think that a little while back someone uploaded a stereo equipment photo shoot that included a Model 19 speaker as well as a EV Sentry IV out of an old (I think) Stereo Review Magazine. I can't find it, but I would like to save that picture as I have recently aquired a pair of the EV's. I thought that it was interesting that the EV's cost more than the Model 19's by a few dollars at right around $600 a pair I think.

Thanks,
James

Apples and oranges. The Sentry IV is NOT a home speaker, so the price comparison is moot. It was a pro speaker. It should be compared to an A7 pricing.

One of EV's best efforts. Like many Klipsch designs, the weak spot is that 1823M mid. The ST350 tweet is decent. Lows are OK if you get placement right but don't go really deep. You can see it drops like a rock below 50 Hz.

The did make a studio monitor to compete with Altec. But the 19 is a home speaker, so even there comparing price is iffy. Home and pro speakers have different dealer markup structures.,. Comparing performance may be valid, but not pricing.

So, that wasn't your upload Old Guy? I had guessed it was. So, A7's cost what compared to M19's. The Sentry IV's sound great stuffed into the corners with lots of 40hz EQ. I had to add a Piezo super tweeter on top since I am worried about blowing out the EV tweeter and have it turn down 3 clicks on it's 4 way settings.

The grainy B&W picture was actually of audio equipment including reel to reels, amps, and even I think a Seeburg Disco speaker.

Compaired to the morphed Altecs, each has their strengths and weaknesses, the Altecs shining on top and the EVs doing better on the bottom, but that might be the placement. Together they complete each other and sound really nice.
