I have used them in two applications and was impressed with both. I built plywood, bass reflex boxes for them and used them in my lab for test speakers. Then I mounted them in the wall, in the lab, for radio playback while I worked. Not much audiophile imaging in the second application but man do they sound like live music. I pulled them from the wall when I moved and they haven't been used in almost four years.

the basics:
-8" hempcone drivers from Tone Tubby
-8 ohm, ceramic (or ferrite) magnet
-paper accordion suspension and whizzer cone
-hefty, aluminum frames

specs (courtesy of the one and only, FullrangeMan):

The drivers are in very good condition with no defects. They play loud and clear.

Hi,
Wonder if its suited to a big or small box. Do you have the TS parameters or the freq range chart to post here or PM me?
Thanks

I sure don't Gustavo. Using Audio Nirvana designs and being familiar with Omega's, I would think anywhere between a 1.5 cu/ft and 2.5 cu/ft box would work well. I had thought about a ported, floor standing size around 2.5 cu ft would have made a nice music machine. Especially with 2 or 4 subs!

^ Thanks for the specs. Looks like I may have missed the magnet composition, ceramic not ferrite. I have updated my ad to reflect this.

I think ceramic and ferrite are the same thing.

[Dieterle Tool]

Sure enough... "The Ferrite permanent magnet is also known as a Ceramic Magnet and even as hard ferrite magnet. ... They are known as Ceramic Magnets because they are electrically insulating".

Adapted specs into original listing and up for bump.

Still have these...
