I may have posted once before (can't remember though) about some drivers I have just sitting around. What I have are 4 EV Wolverine LS-8 full range vintage hi-fi drivers. I've attached photos of the drivers.

I found a site (I'll look up the link and post later) that has EV's suggested enclosure figures for these drivers. It suggested vented enclosures of 1300 - 2600 inch^3 (0.7 - 1.5 ft^3 if I did my math right) and the vent should be 16 - 50 inch^2

For now I been planning to take T/S measurements. Other than that, I'm not really certain what I want to do just yet.

Any suggestions or recommendations? Do a build with just these drivers alone and have a straight full range? Get some tweets (and maybe some larger woofs) and do a 2-way (or 3-way) larger build?

IMO:

Horn horn horn horn horn (fullrange, a la corner horn. Check out AudioXpress 1/07 for more)

or

Sell them to fullrange guys (Hey, if they'll pay $63,000 for a pair of D9eIII drivers you never know what you'll get) and fund another project with the money.


:cool:

Would you be interested in selling a pair?
How much?
Thanks

Seems I don't really have much to do with them, so I'm probably better off selling them.
I haven't a clue what they're worth.. though, I did see a pair on eBay go for $200 IIRC.
