Okay then... I've got a pair of Peavey Scorpions, 15s, in a 215-D cab.
A dude wants them, and will swap a pair of BW 1505-8s for the Scorpions.
Anyone know the going used rate for these speakers, by chance? It's not a real earth-shaking deal or chance to take, but I'm just looking to be an educated swapper...
Thanks!

XMax: 1505 .9mm
XMax 1502: 2.6mm
I'd say no!
edit: I just noticed US Speaker has Eminence 3015 on sale (call for price). That would be a great Neo upgrade for your cab.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: triad, nc | | do you know which 1505 it is? there is a 1505DT and a 1505KADT. more below: Quote:

NOT to be confused with the 1505KADT, which is meant for PA use--- it has higher sensitivity in the mids at the expense of low-end output. the 1505DT has the same type of curvilinear cone (and reasonably good midrange performance) as KADT, but more than twice the displacement, with an xmax of something like 5mm. as such, its low-end performance is markedly better. the 1502DT is a different animal altogether, with a straight ribbed cone.
IMO, the 1505DT trumps the scorpion on every way imaginable, save maybe for performance in a very small box...
sorry for going a little off of the OT...

| | Swamp Yankee | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Smithfield, RI | | | At this point I'm keeping the Scorpions and am installing the cab in a rehearsal space. Volumes won't be very high, and the scorps will do the gig.
If I can get a little time I'll look further into it, but for now it's going to suit a purpose- might just save for new Eminences.
I have a second 215D loaded with BW 1502DTs, so I think I'll live for a while. So much hassle and bread to spend on stuff! Kinda sick of it, actually... but I appreciate all the responses and time from you guys! I did ask, and got answers. I'll pick up the ball again over the weekend.
Many thanks!
