Here is my monster speaker .... A Cetec Gauss 18 inch rated for 800 watts max .... Look at the small blue wall socket box for a size comparison. Small picture will blow up larger than other one if you open the page all of the way for a better look.
Post your monster speakers ........

Gotta love a 18" driver, it just plain looks intimidating for its size.

The white rectangles are 6' tall, the big speakers just inside were just over 4' tall and pretty hefty, the blue balls are 2' diameter, while the beige things towards the center hide 15" dual-concentric drivers which look impressive on their own, but they're no 18" driver:


The Planars, roughly 5' tall each and 2' and over in width:


Lousy pic of the recent speaker addition (before modifications), the little speakers are 5' tall by 22" wide while the big room dividers are 6' tall and 4' wide:


Not much that can be 'monster' in weight, but they qualify in size.

Charivari,

I'm going to show those pics to my wife, then turn, point to my speakers and ask her "honey, why don't you love me?"
 
Here's a pic of the BIG system that I had. It would knock you over to say the least. Sorry for the bad pic, but I lost most all of my digital pictures a few years ago, along with most of this system.

Here's monsters sitting in my living room right now.. HOWEVER.. the Altec's aren't mine :tears: :cry: I picked them up for an AK member that will be having them shipped.. The things are beasts!!!! I sure wished I would have known they were for sale in the area, because I would have bought them!!!

Anyway, as I'm sure you've seen before Speakerlust.. those Peavey's are 18" too...

Here's the other side of the room... That's a 35" TV.. looks a lot smaller with everything around it... especially the speakers..

HOLY SMOKES !!! Those are some viscious speakers guys !!!
Here's picures of some of the rest of my uncompleted system.
Note the paint job, Speakerlust design, those are Maggie 15's with the
front lip removed via table saw and a Maggie horn in the top. I have identical
units with 12's as well. So it goes one 18 center, 15's 12's .... May be good enough, we'll see ??? KEEP EM COMING !!! --------
 
I have 6' maggies and a pair of these 18" utah drivers. These weigh more than some complete speakers i have.

If that doesn't work, tell her I also live in an apartment. Now that's speaker crowding.

You forgot a pair of electrostatic speakers of yours. They still count even if they're temporarily displaced. I'd say the AR-90s also qualify. Ever decide on what you're going to do with those Utahs? Infinite baffle, wall-o-sound, or...?

Thanks man, Yep, I walked into the hardware store few weeks ago and picked up some mis-mixed plumb colored paint ... Neighbor had a garage sale with pastel marshmellow green ... I bought a can of gold .... I painted with plumb and splattered with green and gold .... I always liked splatter paint but it went out of style .... I'm bringing it back ... At home anyway ....
............MY GOD !!! ---------------- Some of these other speakers that you guys are posting are incredible !!! ----------
Here's a dead 18 inch Cetec Gauss that needs reconing ---- You can see where I pulled the label off to remove the heat-sink and see the magnet.
These are 4 inch voice-coiled ----
 
A7 Heaven

Here are my monsters, hooked up to 200 watts of Mac muscle.

I want some of those blue balls ...... What make and model ???
Click to expand...
They're D-12s from George Sioles' Design Acoustics "D" or "Design" series of speakers from 1973. Dodecahedral cabinets designed for stand mounting or to be hung from the ceiling, nine 2" Peerless cone tweeters, one 5" sealed back Peerless midrange, and one 10" CTS woofer with the twelfth panel being a port. This particular set is the rarest color option of electric blue on black painted walnut, the most common being regular oiled walnut veneer with black grills followed by black cabinets with orange grills (as featured in an episode of The Brady Bunch) with the avocado green grills model just before the blue.

They have been my bane in audio for how I've been the target of a great deal of humor regarding my blue balls.
