Sunn Magna 158 for 215RH

[Kronan]

Hello,
i look for 2 speakers Sunn Magna 158 8ohm 80w n°81-0145
for a 215 rh.
Do you know a dealer or distributor ?
Or by which other speaker can I replace ?

Thanks

Ebay would be your main choice, thought I saw a couple on there now.

Many folks have put JBL 140's in the RH cabinets but some of the very knowledgeable people on this forum suggest they are not a good choice for a rear loaded horn cabinet. I have an old Utah in a BH cabinet and love the sound. EV's have been suggested and I must say recent experience has increased their standing in my ears. I believe Isaac suggested Eminence Deltas to someone else in this forum, do a search for 115RH and 215RH to find other discussions. Some of the discussions contain an amazing depth of knowledge about speakers, cabinets and how they interact.

A couple pics of my stuff:

I'm pretty sure that wasn't me. I don't have a lot of experience with Eminence Deltas. I do have a lot of respect for Eminince as a company, though.

Hi!
I need to change both speakers of my 215RH
What kind of speaker can you recommend me?
I don't really know how a rear horn cab works (just bass reflex cab), so what kind of informations are necessary to find the good speakers?
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my terrible english.

Eminence Legend series speakers sound really good.  I think they are rated at 300 watts each.  Musician's Friend has them for around 120.00 each.

Thank for your answer, but I'm afraid that there are too expensive for me.
Do you think that the Eminence Delta 15, for example, fit this cab? Maybe with a filter?

A buddy of mine has a 115RH with a JBL D140F in it - it sounds great!

The 215SH I sold to a local forum member recently had EV SRO speakers in it.  I didn't care for them, as I prefer a crystal-clear sound, but a lot of people like them (including my speaker tech).

My late '70s 118BH has the original Magna speaker and it sounds superb.

Comparing the EV's to the original Sunn Magnas in my original 215SH cabinet, I definitely prefer the Sunn.  EV's sound good, but just lack some of the fullness.  I will have a pair of EVs for sale once the spare Magnas CLD provided are rebuilt .

Thanks for your answers!
I saw with a repairman, and it will cost me around €235 to repair the two Magna...
I can't afford this for the moment (student inside), but I would love to keep the original speakers!
I'm looking for the price of the EV and JBL.
I'm also in touch with a man in France which can help me to find replacement speakers, but without informations about the 215RH...
