That's right...LE85, not 375. My bad...I think the 375 was an even larger compression driver. Trying to remember now which system that was used in...

Hi Pete, ..... US$45k = S$45k x 1.5 = S$67.5k. With some discount, its about S$60k.

Think you missed out the "S" I had in front of the dollar sign!

My current Olympus have the 3-way S8R system, LE15A, 375 and 075. The Paragon and Hartsfield all came with 375's. Olympus an Apollo could be ordered with a choice of several different systems, an S8 with a 375 or S7 with an LE85 being the most popular. 075 high frequency drivers were later added to systems using the 375. The S8R also added the PR15 passive radiator available only on the later Olympus models.

Ah, yes...the Olympus. They are awesome! JBL used to make some great furniture to match the Olympus as well. I love that lattice grillework used on the Olympus, the Lancer 99, and a few others. The Lancer 101 was really nice, a smaller floorstander with the lattice grille and a marble top. Nice stuff.
