Not quite a sale, but figured related. I rarely look at craigslist, but stumbled across a posting of this for sale at a record shop in CBus I'm familiar with. Heck for one fiddy almost worth it as an art piece. Was unknown working condition but said to be working few years ago as they were missing the special 6 prong cables that powers the preamp from the power amp. But at least had one set of 'camac' to rca cables to try the amp out when got home with it. Works, sounds good so far, nice punch kind of like old vintage receivers/amps. 50wpc class AB. Crack it open later to check on the condition of things given it's from 82-89 time range. Think i'll use it to f' with some people on Reddit, like "neighbor gave me this, is it any good or worth anything"
Funny about the E160 cone is that the center is bowl shaped, but halfway up the cone it inverts and goes curvilinear. I've never seen that anywhere else.
I like the look of curvilinear without a cap or phase plug. The center is just an inverted peak. I had a bead on a pair of ATD drivers once, made my offer for 2 of 4, and then someone else made an offer for all 4 and got them because he wanted all 4.
I like the looks of woven cones or differing pulp types for good visuals, but doesn't make or break me from using others.
Inverted half roll surrounds look weird to me. Otherwise, don't know that I care too much.
In terms of operation, the Antisinusoidal Revelator movement is pretty cool to watch. However, the 5x8 SB racetrack woofer looks funny under long excursions. Both sound great!

It's good to know they come with cones installed for that price . . .
I've ordered Airborn from Solen in the past. They are a good company to deal with.
I don't see it on their website, but I saw this at my local Menards. Might be open season on the 8footers again.
GRS poly subs on sale. $14, $21, and $28 for the 8, 10, and 12 inch.
And the 8” HE version for $40

As cool as they are, still not a fan of dust cap / pole piece less cones. They just don't visually sit right with me. 🤷🏻♂️ Anyone else feel this way?
for visuals: I like the ‘pro’ surrounds (don’t know why) and for midranges imo just can’t beat the convex cones
