Can anyone  confirm, which unit is 12" on Fiber glass flare, and 2" Compression unit?

And corresponding control unit?

If its the F1 Mid/Hi cabinet that you are on about Lev, the horn is loaded with the 12" ATC Monster Mid driver and the HF driver is a big EV DH series 1.4" throat driver with a large diaphragm.
Controller will be the original MX4 unit.

Thanks guys, what do F1 Mids go for per pair?

Need about 6x.


How do they compare with ASS MX600s?

its a sellers market, the f1/f1b systems are highly sought after, and incredibly rare now. Only ones you see on market are really old stock/forgotten cabs which need a full restore, or restored cabs from an enthusiast looking for top dollar.

Cant see much in it from the ASS MX, both similar age and tech - high efficiency driver in a relatively basic horn.

I saw monster mids for £120 to £150 last year. There were many available at some time as someone stripped some Martin audio boxes. Keep in touch with "JBL" Billy on Facebook. I think you know him Lev. He has them after butchering lovely kit.
