    A700

    The A700 is seldom mentioned on the forum. Was it a replacement for the A7? How does it compare to an A7?

    ebay pair appears to have incorrect woofers.

    Those assymetric horn flares are interesting.

    Very limited experience. In stock form smoother than an A7 IMHO. Designed to work with subs.

    As Bowtie says, wrong woofs on eBay, or incorrectly reconed.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.

    Re: A700

    The A700 was designed by my friend Jerry Hubbard. It was designed to be a modern update to the A7. It had the 515-G series woofer, which is optimized for the bass horn, an MR994A horn with 909 compression driver, and a crossover. He spent a lot of time getting the directivity patterns and physical alignment between the LF & HF horns, and it performed extremely well.
