Sold (traded) EA (Euphonic Audio) VL 110 3 way (x2), don't come up often. £500

[karlfer]

I need to raise some loot by end of November, so putting these fabulous little cabs (and my Scroeder) up.
These 3 way cabs are individually about the same weight as the EA IAmp 600 that goes with them (NOT included in sale!)

Sale only please, will meet up within 100 miles of Wigan, no extra charge.
Feedback at bottom of thread.
EA is now both rare and expensive in the UK.
Any trial in Wigan


No trades please, when one of my sales is complete, the other will be removed. If they(unlikely) both go at the same time, I'll be begging oldman or walbassist.

I've not had these from new, I would guess they are probably around a decade old but they are superbly made, in very good condition, although there is some paint loss and a touch of rust around the proper handles.
The plastic corner pieces have the usual scrapes.
Thecabs will be cleaned before sale.

PM replied.

Only one person vaguely interested which I find surprising as these are fabulous 3 way cabs.

Think of them as lightweight, but extremely well built with top quality components.

I understand EA is very popular with upright players, perhaps I should have advertised them elsewhere

Cheers,
Karl.

I'm sure those cabs are great Karlfer. Looks good to have separate controls over the tweeter and midrange speaker,
and it's certainly unusual to see a compact 3 way bass cab anyway...

Can't vouch for the sound of these speakers personally as I've not heard them. But I have an EA micro head (its' tiny, really tiny)
and yes, that produces a rather clean, hi-fi sound, but it does sound good with upright bass

GLWTS Karl

PS. I already have a pair of Epifani cabs which sound good with DB, or I'd be sorely tempted

[pete.young]

I have a pair of these and they are excellent cabs, full sounding, very clear and capable of surprisingly deep bass sounds from a relatively small woofer. Great for double bass and bass guitar. Lightweight is pushing it a bit though, they are around 20kg each. Reckon folks in Wigan are tougher than us soft southerners :-)

[karlfer]

Cheers Marc, they are certainly a bit different.
The main favourite EA nowadays seems to be the M12 Whizzy kinda thing. Difficult to find but they retailed around £650 in 2013 and are a less complex/equipped box than this. They seem to sell around £400 used on the rare occasion they come up.

Thanks for the comments Pete, appreciated . According to website, they weigh 37lbs each (about 16.8 kgs) and that does feel about right.
2 proper speakers and tweeter, easy to move because of 3 proper sprung handles.

Quite a technical box as Marc points out.

Still hope they go before the Schro though,I just love Schros

I'm tempted to find out what a vertical array of 4 of these sounds like, but I don't really have the space.

These are proper transmission line cabs which I think goes a long way to explain the sound they make.

[karlfer]

That would be a bit scary Pete

I wanted to sell these, BUT, was offered a trade against MY perfect Schroeder.
What makes it even better the offer was made by a pro legend that I have massive admiration for .

Right, going to actually have to sell something else.
iAMP 600, watch, well, not this particular space.

Thanks for all the interest folks,
cheers,
Karl.

[Marc S]

Another deal? Wow - you certainly do some selling & trading on this forum matey
Perhaps we should call you "karlfer daley"?

I'll get my coat......

PS. Another deal done very quickly - how do you do it?

Edited November 8, 2016 by Marc S

[karlfer]

Very simple Marc.
You see those bits "sale only" "no trades"?

Didn't happen

I got offered my perfect Schroeder (which last sold on here for £325, MUCH less than I was asking for these). I took a straight swap because to get my perfect Schroeder, new, from the states, would cost over £1000 now.

So, yes, I'm taking a massive hit on these, but it's not always about the money.

My EA iAMP 600 will have to go up because I haven't sold this, but, I'm getting the Schro I've long lusted for . Happy bunny!
