EV 18's

[jwrauch]

New to the site. Anyone Know anything about the EV18's with the styrofoam cones.Ithink they were used in the EV 6 and possibly EV/ Klipsh designs. I have recently gotten ahold of 2 and am trying to decide what to put them in.REGARDS, JOHN

Welcome John. We are pretty laid back here, so you have found a site that can give you enormous amounts of info

Got any pics? Could be any combo/design.

EV-18 with stryrofoam cones? Hmmm...

the EV-18 I remember was a very pedestrian 3 (or maybe 4) way 'monkey coffin' type consumer speaker system with all cone drivers (and not very exciting ones at that).

Plenty of legacy EV information at:

EDIT: oops, I get it. You mean EV-18 drivers, not a speaker system. Duh, sorry.
EVM-18B info at http://archives.telex.com/archives/EV/Speakers/EDS/EVM-18B EDS.pdf
(that's an MI speaker; cone appears to be paper)

EV Six system info: http://archives.telex.com/archives/EV/Speakers/EDS/E-V Six EDS.pdf

Browse around the EV legacy docs at the link above and you'll likely find your driver.

I once had an early EV Patrician. It used an 18WK. An 18" woofer (paper cone)with a enormous magnet. The Patrician was based on the Klipshorn but was 1/3 bigger in most dinensoins.

nope, not there. they are not evm series. they are called "low-resonance" woofers. the cones are 1/2" thick, some kind of styrofoam with a grey coating (spray-paint?). ceramic magnets. i haven't had mine in cabinets yet, so i can't say how they sound. the styro cones are also used on some of the 30 inchers in the patricians.

Had some. They were OK but not really great IMHO...

The Royal 400 speaker system probably used the same woofers.
