Replacement sought for Sound Dynamics S15 speakers - Insurance


Recommended Posts

I had some large Sound Dynamics speakers: now disassembled by flood water into a flat-pack state.
My insurance replace old for new.

The speakers had a 25 mm horn speaker and a 15" Woofer and 102dB sensitivity. The enclosure was fairly big at 33" x 20" x 18 1/4"

Any suggestions for an equivalent for replacing these old monsters? Please.

 

(edit: The insurance company is making me do the leg work on this task)

After quite a bit of searching, it seems the closest approximate (new for old) is the Klipsch Cornwall IV

 

Sound Dynamics S15 - 25 mm horn speaker and a 15" Woofer and 102dB sensitivity. 

Enclosure size -  33" x 20" x 18 1/4"  102dB efficiency.  Weight  (36.2 kg)

 

Klipsch Cornwall IV    - (2.54cm) Titanium diaphragm compression driver, one 1.75" (3.81cm) compression driver and one 15" woofer
Enclosure size -35.75" x 25.31"x 15.5".   102dB efficiency.  Weight  (44.5kg)

 

Lets see what the insurance people say.

Well, I provided a spreadsheet comparison of both speakers to the the insurance mob early last week.

 

Phone call this morning from my insurance account manager.

The assessor was a bit of a hi-fi guy and he was familiar with the original speakers/model.

He decided that my comparison was worthy, so I need to work out if I need to shift my JBL 4430-improved speakers to make room, or spend the money elsewhere.

 

in short,...    WIN!!
