I seem to remember the pair i had back in the 70's had solder tags rather than push terminals..and the ferrite magnet had silver sticky backed plastic trim wrapped round it like a Christmas cake decoration.
Three inch voice coil i think? Cant remember the power rating,150w? But they would take a lot more and still sound sweet. Nice drivers though,lovely warm sound,and good value back then,were under half the price of the equivilant imported american 18".JBL K151,Gauss etc. |

Be seeing you.

I had a pair of 15's like this in the 70's, with the xmas tape on too!
When replaced with EV15B's there was a huge jump in performance.

Ah. yes, the high efficiency anisotropic magnet, I remember it well. I had a pair of these, 15" version, first used as low range, (They were very wide range, excellent value) with Goodmans Hi-Fax tops (total rubbish, still got the brochure somewhere) then mid after I acquired the Gauss, and added a pair of Fane 920 horns.

Yes, good drivers. The Colossus Crescendo 18 were the 4" coil version, which later became the 400b. The regular Crescendo is a conservatively rated 150w 3" coil. Im always on the lookout for Crescendo 70s drivers, working or not - for vintage projects.

Best Regards, Elliot you woudnt have the T/S parameters for the 12a Crescendo by any chance cant find them anywhere, not to be confused with the Crescendo 12bass which was higher power spec i believe. thanks
