Default Allen Organ Speakers

Just for ****s and giggles I'd love to audition a pair of these:


HR-200 Speaker Cabinet

Herald Loudspeakers bring out the best in organ sounds. Transient
response relates to the speed of the attack or start-up sounds (the
initial "tap" of a cymbal, for example). While this is a part of the
"picture", the speaker industry as a whole has ignored that an
important element of transient response is the ability to respond to
fast peaks in sound. These peaks also occur in the "steady state" or
sustained portion of the wave and must be reproduced to make authentic
sounding instruments-especially reeds, strings, mixtures, and the
wind sounds of flue pipes. Such sounds are garbled by typical consumer
grade "audiophile" speakers used in the digital organ industry.

Allen Organ Company, with its Renaissance=99 technology and Herald=99
speakers, faithfully recreate the peaks accurately and at the intensity
needed for the true "feel" and majesty of the pipe organ.

* 1" Ferro-Fluid titanium diaphragm compression driver with
matched exponential horn
* Passive two-way second order crossover network
* 15" woofer
* Frequency response 30 Hz to 20 kHz
* Sensitivity 94 dB
* Nominal Impedance: 8 ohms
* Dimensions (Utility Cabinet*):
17 3/8" (441 mm) wide
33 1/4" (844 mm) high with glides
19 1/8" (486 mm) deep with grill
* Weight: 80.5 lbs. (36.5 kg) uncrated
Or better;

HC-14/15 Speaker Cabinets

The Allen HC-15 speaker (HC-14 in veneered finishes) is the standard
cabinet for Prot=E9g=E9=AE Organs. These three-way speaker cabinets
include a 15" woofer, as well as a 4" mid-range and a 1" tweeter. The
result is a full-range cabinet with a perfect blend of bass, midrange
and treble capabilities. The Allen HC-14 and 15 cabinets faithfully
recreate the high-fidelity sounds produced by Allen's advanced
Renaissance=99 tone-generation system.

I mean, in my living room. Not for organ. I'm sure they're way
overpriced-as if **** from Sonus faber, Thiel, etc. weren't-but look.
Fifteen inch woofer.

Now if they had a nice horn in the center of 'em...
