3/9/2024 0 Comments Gauss horns drivers 2080Just to make everyone ill, here is a pair of Gauss HF4000 in good shape that went for (almost) free: The guy that owns them would probably sell them (he sold his MCM 1900s). That Gauss price seems high to me, I sold a pair in new shape a while back for $400. The 2" drivers used a variable density all Be diaphragm (and don't go as low as the 1" models, as they can shatter). The first 1" drivers had the Be diaphragms (made with the same process Yamaha developed for the Be drivers in their NS1000M), but they tried a Mylar edge (Yamaha used cloth), and these Be diaphragms actually would fit Altec/JBL 44mm voice-coil drivers. The woofers were varients of his JBL LE15/2215 designs. He duplicated the JB元75/2440 but with one more slot in the phase plug (the TAD 4001). The TAD products have a similar story, except the ex-JBL engineer was Bart Locanthi. When JBL refused to make them anymore, May just went arcoss the street, started Gauss, and made the same drivers with some cosmetic changes. The dual-spider Gauss woofers were a JBL design for Fender. ![]() As such they have no real high end, and have a peak around 9Khz. The Gauss 40xx series was designed by Ed May (ex-JBL), and was a pretty straight-up copy of the JB元75/2440. This is, of course, the place that makes the K77 diaphragms that BEC sells. "Besides, you can't get replacment diaphragms anymore.
