OT:Want to guess what speakers I just won at auction?
Just for fun...........
Attachment 2115
Described as being 11" x 11", so I'm thinking 8" single drivers. They look like that came from a school to me. I see one cabinet has a eye bolt screwed into it. It's been awhile since I've purchased anything and these went cheap on a local online auction. I thought, why not, it could be a pair of 755a :cool:
I'll pick them up in the next day or two, and report back. In the mean time, what are your thoughts?

If they're not 755as, You might hope they are a pair of these

Electro Voice Pro 8A. They sound incredible.
Even on computer speakers they sound awesome, but through headphones they're out of this world.

I didn't get over there today. I'm hoping work takes me over that way tomorrow.
I did a Google search on those EV's. What time frame do they come from? They look fairly new, or is the name still in use for a modern but different product?

I was surprised to learn that they are a current model. They are their top of the line ceiling speakers, but they have large voice coils and sound amazing. There's a guy on eBay selling them for $129/pair with a starting bid at $99. I went $99 and won a pair. As soon as I'm done playing with my subs I'm going to put them in my Frazier cabs and see what they do.

EV keeps a lot of old literature on their website. Are you sure these aren't NOS? In the ebay auction that I found, the drivers said "Buchanon, MI" on the motors. EV hasn't been in Buchanon for awhile.

Would be a sweet find if there are some 755's lurking behind door number 2 :biggrin2:
