half baked Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 SOLD Item: Red Spade HE2 loudspeakers Upgraded version Location: Melbourne Price: $1400. RRP$2400 as a kit + labour and materials to build Item Condition: very good Reason for selling: no longer used, too many speakers Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: These are the upgraded crossover version which added an extra $600 to the standard $1800 pair I built these about 2 years ago, I prepared and painted them at my factory using automotive DuPont 2pack paints and primers. internally they have bitumen lining. the plastic Waveguide and ports were sprayed with automotive plastic primer, so the paint will not be flaking off in the future. The MDF has shrunk unfortunately around the joins slightly, but doesn’t show from a seating position, I hate painting MDF for this reason as joins usually swell and shrink , it’s a porous material. the cover frame for the drivers are magnetic so no lugs or screws , I don’t have any fabric but it’s cheap to buy if desired The Sound is very immediate and lively with these spks, but not in an in your face way, they’re smooth and detailed, the detail from the compression driver is as good as my Trio 15s Beyma ribbon horn driver. Anything percussive, drums, piano etc sound great. Good soundstage with good depth, they are a pretty good all rounder, primarily used for my music I’ve been using them for home theatre the last 12 months to really good effect. Specs 25 to 50 Hz depending on room High sensitivity 94db easy to drive 8 ohm load 1000 H x310 D x 280 W weight 35.5 kg i won’t be posting these , so pick up only.

Grizaudio Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 What compression driver is used? B&C De250? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
half baked Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 not sure, the driver just had Red Spade on it, my opinion it could be Celestion , the Bass driver was the same, could be a 10" Celestion or Eminance, sounds good whatever is used, xovers had Mundorf caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
