I see all of the talk on the old eliminators, and as you can see I have a pair I restored and use. This is the 3rd pair I have had since the 70's. The first pair were my home speakers and I sold them and installed them in a Disco I was upgrading the sound system in. Amazing sound that I was driving with some Akai solid state amps probably in the 85W per channel range. Loud and crystal clear. Only issues were the tweeter coils frying because the DJ was going into start of song search on a cassette with the volume up. But they were easy fixes. I almost immediately got a second pair that were "2"'s but I added the dual T35's to them. Then I took a wife in 1979, and the second pair of eliminators were sacrificed because they "didn't match the room". I sold them to a Female rock Band that toured New Jersey and needed Quality PA Speakers, or Sound Reinforcement Systems as EV called them. I received my final pair from a guy in Michigan who had 2 pairs. I turned down the second pair because I had no room, and felt I scored big time with one pair, in the I still have the same wife. The pair currently sits in the Dining room, and I don't have them running a lot, but when I do they sound unbelievable. The best speakers I have ever owned or heard. Before I found the pair intact, I assumed I would need to build a pair, so I bought up Crossovers, T35's 1829 drivers, Midrange horns, SRO15's, EVM15B's and L's, Mid accentuation Switches, and Tweeter controls, and even a perfect pair of the original badges. One of these days when I fully retire, I will build another pair or 2
