EV 1824m & 8HD horns
« on: 5 Feb 2014, 04:10 am »
Anyone have any ideas what a pair of these
Are worth?  A friend at work gave them to me to test, (they work fine)
Now he would like me to sell them. I just don't have any clue what they are worth. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks, David

P.s. there are pics in my gallery

The 1824M's are nice vintage mid horns.  The Alnico 1823M are much more desirable and now rare as many have been used to make top end "talk boxes" The 1824M's do need to be mated with a compatible tweeter The 8HD horns aren't that desirable.  They ring like a bell and are tough to tame.  Modern wave guides are a much better choice.  Although EV mated them, the 8D's don't sound all that great.  I have seen the 1824M's go for anywhere from $50 - $120 pair.  You see higher prices on eBay, but generally they don't sell. 

Cheers,
