Gotta say, the S8 and its rear cover would make a great place to put an ultra-high-output (110–118 dB at 10 feet) horn, especially with the Eluxa LED strobe.

Always find it interesting that Wheelock made two differently-sized versions of what’s basically the same device for whatever reason: about time someone did a direct side-by-side comparison of both (I probably would have but I have neither, heh).
Maybe, yeah.

The S8 is rated at 8 watts, while the E90 is only 2 watts (6 dB louder). I guess the S8 with the strobe was intended for areas that get loud, while the E90 was a “normal” device.

The ET90 was also 8 watts, but the S8 had higher fidelity because it was intended for combination background music systems.

Makes sense given the larger speaker size & the fact that some Walmarts use them to play music (among potentially other places).

Semi-old topic I know, but I just thought up this to say about those two devices (inspired by a similar joke I made recently, heh):
“Don’t talk to me or my son ever again”
Yeah, but at least us collectors are helping to make sure that plenty of examples (will) still exist.
