EV The Entertainer Tapco Model 100s Two Way Constant Directivity Speaker System 8 OHM

Up for sale is a classic, matching pair of vintage Electro-Voice (EV) / Tapco Model 100S "The Entertainer" 12" 2-Way Passive PA Speakers. Proudly manufactured right here in the USA, this legendary speaker system is highly celebrated by acoustic musicians, church ensembles, and mobile performers for its remarkable efficiency, sweet vocal midrange, and rugged portability.

Rated at 100 Watts Long-Term Average / 400 Watts Peak at 8 Ohms, the 100S pair was ahead of its time. It features a heavy-duty, high-efficiency 12-inch low-frequency woofer paired with EV’s famous Super-Dome™ titanium high-frequency tweeter coupled to a molded constant-directivity waveguide. This design creates an exceptionally wide and uniform $100^\circ \times 100^\circ$ coverage zone, ensuring your audience hears smooth, clear sound whether they are sitting directly out front or off to the sides.

A standout feature of these enclosures is their ultra-portable, specialized one-piece molded structural plastic cabinetry. This breakthrough design achieves the thick, rigid acoustic properties of a traditional wooden box while keeping each speaker remarkably light at just 28 lbs—making them easy to carry, lift onto stands, and toss into a compact car trunk after gigs.

Condition Notes:

This passive speaker pair is in Fair Cosmetic Condition but functions with 100% perfect electronic health.

• Performance: Fully audio-tested on our service bench. The 12" woofers throw punchy, clean low-end tones, the Super-Dome™ tweeters deliver crisp vocal clarity, and the 4-position rear high-frequency attenuation switches function perfectly.
• Cosmetics: Shows clear cosmetic signs of regular road use, loading, and stage use over the decades. The rugged plastic shells show typical surface scuffs, scratches, and scrapes, and the front grilles have honest finish wear. They look beautifully "road-worn," but are physically indestructible and completely ready for their next chapter (please see all detailed photos).
