Emilar EH800 Bowtie horns with EC175-8 drivers

[Toomanyspkrs]

If you're reading this, you likely either know what these are, or have never heard of them. Either way, here is a chance to own some fairly rare US designed and built horns that are highly touted by touring band audio engineers and audiophiles alike. At one point, ELO bought the entire inventory of Emilar horns for touring, leaving the average Joe waiting a LONG time to get a pair.
They are that good.
Read up on them.
These are in excellent shape, doubtful that they were gigged or toured. Unfortunately the driver labels have disappeared over the years, but based on research, I've determined that these are EC175. Both diaphragms read 5.5ohm, which would indicate 8ohm nominal as well as no opens. They play beautifully, and although I'd love to utilize them, I don't see it happening anytime soon, so here is your chance to create your new Covid loudspeakers (I daresay that many new designs are going to be labelled COVID Or C19 models - lol)
Recommended to be crossed at 1200hz, but lower if desired down to 800hz. Your call on that.
I am willing to ship them anywhere on your dime. Priced reasonably at $200/pr considering local availability, condition and demand.

Horns are sold, but drivers are still available.
