| Is there any difference between a EVM 12L and a EV SRO 12L. |

| The early SRO's were alnico, the later (70's?) marked SRO were ceramic, and probably are close to an EVM12L. |

| Wish I still had the pair of Alnico SRO's I had years ago ......They were the BIGGEST sounding 12" speakers I've ever owned .... and perhaps the heaviest too !!...Jim |

| I had a 15" SRO years ago and sold it for $50.00. I should ask the fellow I sold it to if he still has it. Massive magnet on that puppy. |

| I have been casually looking for an SRO12 on the bay for a while now, and what does come up is really pricey! |

| Thanks for all the input on this. I came into a really clean SRO and didn't know if there was a difference between the SRO and EVM 12L. I know they are proud of a new EVM 12 L. We have a good speaker guy in town who makes his living reconeing high end speakers so I'm thinking he could fix this speaker right up. Just don't know if I should leave it 8ohm or go to 4ohm and use it with a split cab NV 400. Thanks JM |
