Another of eBay's gems

Yep - I was wondering if it came out of a tight fit place in a cabinet
where the cabinet sides formed the two outer edges of the horn ...

Just a wonder ...

Could very well have been taken from a cabinet in that state.
Custom sound companies do all kinds of things that seem odd out of context.
That said, the units are certainly a modified version, whether Emilar sanctioned it or not.
I think most folks looking specifically for EH500 type horns would know that these are ...
incomplete or modified for special use.

I would be surprised if they eventually sold for 1/10 the asking price, but I've been surprised many times

I see your point.
I'm not messing with the guy any more, lol.

I have a pair of those horns in use right now (non cut down version ). I cross them over at around 1200 18db slops and 2445's with Be diaphragms. With a some PEQ via my DSP I find them very enjoyable.

As a part time ebay seller, this is how I see it.

Even if the horns came to him in this manner he almost certainly knows they are altered and has
chosen not to say anything. My reason for this assumption is that whenever I get something I am
not familiar with, I research the hell out of before trying to value it. In doing so, I see many pics
of said item either in other auctions or in other photo's and then I know what I am dealing with.
This guy almost certainly knows that what is offering is not accurately represented in the listing.

My 2 cents


Hope everyone who reads this has an excellent weekend!

^^^ Correct. In order to establish value, the seller has made a search. Just google "Emilar EH-500" (after all, isn't it what is cast on the horn?) and you shall get hundreds of pictures and links. and none of them shows a heavily truncated horn. Therefore, it is obvious the seller is being dishonest.

BTW No need to make an extensive search, there's another set of Emilar horns in "complete" condition on eBay...
