I've got a spare pair of alnico magnet Eagle 8" full range drivers from the late sixties. They were actually made by Coral if I'm correct and sound rather nice. They'd probably fit.

Thats really nice of you to offer, but there's cut outs for two 8inch drivers per cab - hence my fancying dc2000's, which have an 8 inch dual and effectively the same speaker sans hf running as a bass helper, just the arrangement these GEC's originally had.Quote:

But whatever the GEC cabs end up holding, they'll just be a fun thing, not serious contenders, unless some cabinet deadening and reinforcement went on! They're a good shape but not very thick walled.
Your Eagle/Corals are undoubtedly much too good! But thanks again.
I can imagine this sounding rather nice, and being stupidly cheap for the performance on offer…. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Technics-S...182&rmvSB=true
Marco.
Remember those Coral 'Beta' full range units? I had a pair of 10"ers, the best quality units i eva had..Quote:

Yes, I know the wiring looks dodgy. I was just setting them up and testing before finalising the wiring etc.
That's a pair of tiny horn tweeters below the main drivers, set to come in above 12kHz.
Yes. Same company. They made some fabulous products.Quote:

Thats em Geoff they look a bit like Lowther. I had a pair of 10" but you could get an 8"er anorl..Quote:
