Any updates on the 142's?
Or is Emenence forcing them only to be sold in cabinets too?
I wish I could find something like them in the 50-75 watt range....
My loudest amp I normally use is only 50 watts... and more often, I use the 30 watter.
150 watts per speaker is way overkill for me, but I do understand why some people want them.

All the speakers we source from Eminence must be sold in cabinets, sorry. :(

We're finding, as we gain speaker experience, that some speaker specs are "side effects" as opposed to designed-in. In this case, the larger voice coil just worked better for what we were after, we were not planning to make such a high powered speaker.

There's a third speaker experiment currently undergoing super secret testing in Hiwatt Valley that is showing more promise than the #2 prototypes.

Like the old advertisement, "I will serve no wine before it's time"

HI-TONE doesn't settle when it comes to tone.
