Yup, EV is a well-established brand in the musician/pro audio market. However, iirc, their big woofers were also quite popular for hifi horn speaker constructions some years ago...

I think those are late 50s PA speakers designed for speakers at microphones. They would sound like crap with music- all midrange.

Form follows function.

See ya

Hey,
There's some of those in my Mom's church. They were probably made in Buchanan, MI. One of EV's bigger plants was there until they closed it down a couple years back.
