[HAM] Tannoy Monitor Silver as tone cabinet and Thomas CA cabHugh brooo at shaw.caWed May 2 14:22:55 CDT 2007
I took the back of the Leslie 147 amped home made cabinet that came with my '37 BC and what do you know, not only does it have a Tannoy crossover, but it has the matching 15" driver to go with it. Rated at 25W and good to 12kHz, is this considered a waste of a ridiculously valuable (up to $2000 on eBay) hifi speaker or were these commonly used as organ speakers in the 50s? I was thinking it might make a good vocal PA amp. The other cab is a Thomas CA "combination hifi tone cabinet" made by Pacific Mercury Electronics with an up-firing Electrovoice SP12B 12" and a weird looking totally enclosed 4" diameter forward firing tweeter. The grill covers almost the entire front and wraps around the sides but the tweeter's just at the very top middle. I wonder how a foam Leslie rotor would sound on top of this. If anybody has any information or recollections regarding these, I'd be interested to hear them. Thanks, Hugh
