Stick with OBs
I hav =e heard 1+1s but 2+2s are a lot more dynamic
I owned Accoustat 2+2s with both dual moded servo amps and 121 Cs with medallions, which allowed me to try different amps. I much preferred the servos, but back then full amp mods weren't available and consequently they weren't stable, more than once I dealt with cherry red tubes. One of my friends had custom 5+5s> Aftr I sold mine he came across a guy doing full mods and said his servos were then 100% stable. I think this is the guy
Hello Friends --
This is just to let you know that my email contact
has recently changed. It seems AT&T/Yahoo could no
longer support my very old prodigy.net email address.
For those of you requiring fantastic restorations
and upgrading of Acoustat MK and Spectra Interfaces
and Acoustat Power Amplifiers and Preamplifiers
my new email address is
acoustat.service.usa@gmail.com
Anyway...
After that I owned
Usher 6371s, which were quite nice, followed by
Maggie 3.5Rs, which did not compare to my 2 + 2s. I tried active XOs, biamping, dual subs
(could not achieve a seamless blend), no matter what I tried I never got the 2+2 magic. Over the last 4+ years I have used Emerald Physics OB speakers. I am currently enjoying the hell out of 3.4s which consist of 12" concentric woofers with 1" polyester tweeters @ 96dB. No matter the music genre, they are amazing, missing a bit of deep bass in my ~ 20 x 40 x 12 ft peak in open beam ceiling. Original MSRP was ~ $4000 but EP has a new version under development. People are picking up 3.4s on the used market for < $1000
HTH
