[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 280741, member: 2475"] The midhorns are not something I would care to use as it contravenes every aspect of progression in horn design in the past few decades.The mid compression drivers however are something else. In the absurdity that is collectors mania the 375 reaches insane prices especially if the red seals are intact. The 375 is identical (not near-absolutely ) to the pro 2440 at much lower prices. I have a pair of those . Their interior were lined with foam that has long perished and the aluminium diaphragms tend to suffer from fatigue and crack. Hence the madness of insisting on intact seals,cos those with intact seals, even if near new ,are all fooked.Like most compression drivers,diaphragms are designed to be user replaceable in the field. Nevertheless a 375/2440 with its 16kg Alnico magnet and alu diaphragm remain one of the nicest sounding transducers ever made. Of course if those diaphragms are replaced with the Aquaplassed dia of the 2450 SL it really becomes one of the top 3. Just my opinion of course. [/QUOTE]
