CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted September 1, 2005 CMS Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 It's a semi-impressive bit of non-information.....it means the horn-shaped housing is made of cast phenolic resin....plastic to us regular folk. It has no real bearing on whether the driver is any good. Back when resins were new and cool, this sounded, well, new and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is what it says: GS series speaker cabinets are the perfect companions to Aguilar amplifiers. All GS series cabinets feature cast-frame drivers, phenolic tweeters with integral phase plug, variable tweeter level control, Neutrik Speakon and quarter inch inputs, seven ply void-free Philippine mahogany construction, and interlocking corners. All these features add up to one formidable line of cabinets. From stadiums to coffeehouses, there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted September 1, 2005 CMS Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by degroove Worthless, huh? It's the equivalent of seeing a car ad that states, "All Chevys have steel frames, synthetic rubber tires, plastic bumper covers, and glass windows". Good tweeters have been made with phenolic bodies. Crap ones have too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
