Uncle Seth Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) 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) Edited July 22, 2021 by Uncle Seth added missing detail and comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Seth Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedgod66 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just dying to know what the insurance company gave you ? An Aldi Bluetooth speaker? Or did your dreams come true Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Seth Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 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!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedgod66 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Bloody amazing! It will be an interesting comparison your 4430 clones vs the Klipsch . Love a happy ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
