Help, Frustrated with Horn output


To you many experts out there. I have a two way speaker, horn and sub ( altec model 19).

Horn goes intermittently out for extended periods of time.

i changed the diaphragm, no luck. Changed the crossover, worked for awhile then no output after a couple of days. I did use a new preamp/amp at first figuring issue must have started there so I eliminated the previous gear out of the equation.

Would really appreciate some suggestions about this issue I’ve been pulling my hair out for months on. Been a lurker for years on the site and know theres a lot smarter people out there than me.

Thanks in advance

Ah, one of the few speakers that I owned which I wish I’d never sold. Just physically too big for my room. :-(

Based on your experience already and the age of the speakers I’d guess that it is probably time to have someone familiar with these speakers  rebuild your cross overs. I think it would be worth doing.

Good luck.
