I just noticed that Steve Schell has a pair of MI-1444's listed on eBay... Steve, being the American Museum of HiFi, is one of my heros... a genuine and solid guy.. his passion is evident the instant you meet him... definitely family... I have heard these woofers several times, but the best being on these old horns of mine:
Through Karlson's, shallow front horns, and in reflex boxes, I have not heard heard them make quite the same magic as that of a nice, long, straight front horn... and, from that, I just think that their best application is midbass... Steve Blair has a pair... and these old horns of mine that he was wise enough to snag just really mate well...
Blair is working on a nice system... one that plays music late into the night, hell, nearly until dawn... because of that, every visit to see him is a blast.. check out the story of his birthday week.. lots of bling: Josh drivers, Azuras, mercury, Coral, DHT's, etc.....
