Eminence Delta 15A

I have just acquired these from a premises about to be demolished.

The only info I can find on the minibins are that they are '70/'80s 100w disco speakers.

On looking inside I found they had Eminence Delta 15A speakers with no power rating on them. Looking online they check out at 400w rms. They may not be the original speakers or were there 100w Eminence Delta speakers at one time?

Looks like a cheap 10" 100watt driver (Google) - I'd almost forgotten Roger Squires Disco Centre stuff - it's probably quite a rarity now.

I'd guess they'd be more likely to have had UK-made speakers originally. Eminence speakers usually have an EIA code on them (beginning 67- for Eminence) which shows the date they were made, so you should be able to figure out when they were replaced.

[/quote]No. The Delta line only came along perhaps 15 years ago. They've had very few changes since their introduction.

Ok, so they are replacements then. I'll check the date using that code. They all test ok using a test sound source, won't be able to fire them up properly till the weekend. How the bins are likely to respond with those drivers in will be interesting.
Thanks BOTB & BF for the info.

The original drivers were probably Fane, Goodman or Celestion. Watch your volume though the horns were similarly low powered and they are unlikely to cope with a high power bass amp especially if you run with any fx or distortion/overdrive.
