Hi all, I have a pair of both the Eminence Sigma Pro 18-A v1s and v2s. I am struggling to find specs for the v1s anywhere online. Eminence only advertise the spec sheet for the v2 and there doesn't seem to be any record of the v1 which were released in the 90s and have a purple label on the back. Reaching out to see if anyone here has a spec sheet for them or has any leads on why there isn't any existing information about them. I am cautious about treating them as if there the same driver because they look physically different and the v2 will likely be an upgrade or a solution to an issue with the v1. Cheers, Ethan

Hi, Thanks for your prompt reply. I have emailed eminence but they haven’t got back yet, only with an automated message saying to read their FAQs. Maybe I just need to be a bit more patient, haha! Cheers Ethan

I hope that Eminence give you an answer to your question, rather than being yet another audio company to reduce it's customer service. Fingers crossed... |

Note that apart from the reduced power handling, (500W vs 650W), those are the current specs per Eminence's website: https://eminence.com/products/sigma_pro_18a?_pos=1&_sid=588aaf204&_ss=r#specifications" rel="nofollow - https://eminence.com/products/sigma_pro_18a?_pos=1&_sid=588aaf204&_ss=r#specifications Now it might just be that the difference in power handling was the only difference between the older and current ones, but hopefully the OP will get the full info from Eminence in due course.
