Yes they are quite old, mid 80's iguess and needs a recone, so i replaced them.
Thats the one! TOA! the label is on the front of the box and it seems they made the box. Can barely see it on the left one in this photo. And yes its europe, more precisely Norway. edit; i see that quality was terrible on that photo, so you have to imagine it haha srry  Edited by KLØE - 20 May 2022 at 2:47am |

Hello all,
I have here PA drivers including horns which should be Mega of London according all accessible information (sticker was vanished during the time unfortunately). Does anyone have any information about them? They are fully working btw  If someone is interested I am able to sell them eventually...    Edited by peter8 - 17 May 2024 at 10:56am |

They are definitely NOT Mega of London---HF drivers look like they could be Coral or DAS and the horns could be anything as they are two halves bolted together.

As Rob says, definitely not a recognisable MEGA product. They look like they are from a cinema system and may be a custom build. Close-up pictures of the wooden cabinet construction might indicate whether they could have been made by one of the well-known speaker cabinet makers. The horns look to be of good quality, but I can't identify the make.

Honestly speaking I was referring to this picture (found on this forum as well). Drivers look exactly the same in my opinion. 
And whole boxes are from old cinema as you said and it is DIY project.

Ah yes, OK. Unfortunately that doesn't mean its a Mega system. Mega bought in their drivers from well-known OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturers), as did most of the other speaker builders. They would usually add their own labels. I used to know what those drivers were, but can't remember at the moment! edit to add: Beyma, most likely. Edited by madboffin - 17 May 2024 at 3:33pm |

Thanks for explanation! Makes sense
The woofers are Beyma 15GB so it really might be Beyma driver. Let´s Google once again...

If they're definitely Mega the cabs alone are worth the price. The tweeters look a bit down- market, though - don't recognize them but possibly Beyma. Load them with modern drivers and add a couple (or more) 2x18s and you have a decent system.

They are possibly some of my old hire stock from the 1970s and in very good nick considering they are about 50 years old----the original drivers in those cabinets were ATC 12" long coil bass, ATC 9" mid driver but some of the later ones were fitted with 10" Volt mid drivers and the horn drivers were the good old RCF TW101(the most common HF driver from that era) The bullets were usually from South American manufacturers but not sure of the name---it was from 50 years ago so I think I may be excused for not remembering that one, but they are in very good condition and the name badges are very rarely still on them along with undented grilles.
