| Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters? I don't know of anything that does all that you want... Legacy Audio Signature SE comes the closest... AMT Mid & Tweeter, goes down to 22 hz. Height is 18 inches. Footprint is not crazy in size. I didn't see you mention a price. Bill does good... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. From 1 brand to another, you can find an amp, preamp, speaker etc, that spec very close or in the electronic side, even identical. I suspect, everyone listed above on this thread would hear the difference between the 2 amps, pre amps or speakers. ... | |
| Help Me Choose a Preamp you have 2 great pre's on you list... Muse makes a great preamp in the 3 signature. I have seen them as low as $800. This is great at that price point | |
| vintage versus modern speakers Rockanroller, here is my feeble minded attempt to explain voltage paradigm for those that share my huge intellect. A Voltage paradigm amplifier is one that is capable of maintaining its voltage output at any given impedance, say from 2 to 16 ohms.... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers If I recall correctly, Nelson did not design any SAE stuff. I believe that Jim Bonjiorno did that basic design on your amp, although I know that Ed Miller put his hands in several amps of that era also. Since I've chimed in... My 2 cents on the sp... | |
| Plugging ported speakers and active Xovers Trying it won't hurt a thing, but it is way beyond where the port tuning is... an average port tuning is at approximately 30hz, with that port, your woofer is augmented to deliver accurate bass at a much lower frequency than in a sealed box... whe... | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Another vote for speakers 1st... cables are respectable, but definite improvements are available. | |
| Altec A7 What to do Gvasale, I wasn't thinking woofer's horn load itself, yes, cabinet bracing on this speaker is poor, just a few in key area's will go along way. Thank you, Tim | |
| USHER 8871 Tweeter Drive You may take the diaphragm out and check for the slim possibility that the break in the voice coil wire goes from the terminal to the start of the coil winding. I have had that happen a couple of times and have been able to successfully resolder, ... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks Ralph, dynamat is on my radar, yearsAgo I had a store and we used this in doorsAnd even trunks, I'm also thinking about possibly looking at some self stick flooring materials. If I can find one pliable enough and cut carefully, it could loo... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks Gvasale, at least now, that link won't open for me. Don't know about a mid bass horn, there is a 15" woofer and tweeter (horn). I'm thinking about trying cutting to fit some self stick type materials and see how that works. I'll find someth... | |
| Altec A7 What to do You guys have been great, I made another change, so I thought I'd give you an update. 1 of the dust caps was dented. I bought a matched pair. I was lower mass (weight) than the original, with the 416A driver having a QTS of around .27, I really di... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks for the vote of confidence Isochronism. To really improve these, it would take a crossover re design, I haven't run curves, but my instincts are that crossover point would move up to 600 or so and slopes would change from 12/12 to 12/18 to ... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Hi Guys, thank you for all your responses. Since I won't be keeping these, I've decided to only upgrade the parts in the crossover and keep its stock design. Not sure that I could even recoup doing a cabinet refinish, so I will most likely end up ... | |
| Bogdan Audio speakers The 2 that you mention both use Raal Tweeters and Bogdan has put them on sale here on Agon for half price. He showed the Catalina at 12k and took offers on the Petra...Neither sold. |
