Members agedhorse Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Interesting, this is a new product taking the name of an old and well respected company that sold speakers designed by Mark Wayne, from the S.F. Bay Area. He ran with the same crowd as John Meyer (Meyer Sound), John DeLoren (Apogee Sound), Jim Gamble (Gamble Assoc. latyer part of Crest Audio) etc. The new product has nothing to do with what's being sold today. Mark's original designs used all pro JBL components and much of it is still operating today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Al Poulin Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Harbinger speakers? I think Behringer might bring them to court for using a name that sounds like theirs - because, you know, it's really not fair to steal ideas or names from other companies.

Members tlbonehead Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 If that 80oz is really the whole structure like it is worded, that's pretty puny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Al Poulin Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 If that 80oz is really the whole structure like it is worded, that's pretty puny. I believe they're referring to magnet weight only. Isn't 60-80 oz pretty typical for a decent quality 15'' PA speaker (with a 2.5'' VC) I believe this was the weight of the 15s in Yorkville's Pulse line a few years ago. For Harbinger to brag about it must mean it's a little bigger what you'd find in a Nady or Gemini cab? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 No experience with them, maybe an ok speaker and maybe not, You would need to hear them in a realistic application and then get some confidence that they will hold up ok.

Members Al Poulin Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Musician's friend seems to be one of the only places that sells these speakers. They have a great price on their special Harbinger combo. If you buy the combo on Tuesday or Thursday, they large size the amp for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members abzurd Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 I shed a tear the day I saw Phase Linear car stereos in Walmart - made by Sparkomatic. Back in college in the late 80's some idiot did more damage than my car was worth just to steal my spark-o-matic stereo. I didn't realize they were still around. As for Harbinger. When I googled I found the name brand is associated with fitness products. Probably the same company out of California. Their website is http://www.harbingerproaudio.com and all they sell are 3 speaker models. There are logos of Guitar Center and MF at the bottom of the page. Looks like it's meant to undercut the would be Yamaha Club series buyer and the like by $50. From Wikipedia - A harbinger is a sign of things to come. Throughout history and literature, harbingers and omens figure prominently, and are responsible for major decisions which have altered the course of both. - Super, more cheap audio gear to come!!!

Members agedhorse Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Note that Yamaha is scheduled to close their Georga U.S.A. plant where the Club speaker cabinets are (mostly) made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean no more Club speakers? Or just consolidation on their part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 I would speculate that they will come from one of their off-shore facilities. Just pointing out that things, they are a changin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
