| Altec A7 What to do Thanks Richard, the crossover did a great job of taming the midrange honky/shoutiness. There is the slightest bit left, but very minior and I believe horn damping will end that. After the crossover change, the lower midrange on these is just super... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Quote: "Only you can decide a forum can't do it for you"Hi John, that has always been the case, but the advice (including yours) can help and is appreciated. I'll figure something out with them, Thanks, Tim | |
| Altec A7 What to do Hello all, as discussed earlier, I have replaced all the caps & resistors in the crossover with upgraded hand spec'd parts with less than 1% tolerance from one channel to the other. The improvement is not subtle. I've given these a couple hour... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Broke away the encasing, measured all the parts, Measured all new parts and put together matched pairs for both crossovers, replaced the aluminum foil caps (very rare), and mylar cap, replaced resisters with mills, hot melted all in place in the f... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks to all of you guys. I have just opened the back for the first time. The tweeters impedance is not marked, but DC resistance is 8.1 ohms. The woofer is an 16 ohm 416A... The Crossover is an N500G. I can do little to the crossover, everything... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks John, I have 416A, not sure of the horn driver, but the horn is a 511b... Have you done any work on these? I'm wondering if anyone has done impedance correction on both drivers and resonance compensation on the tweeter. I could easily do th... | |
| Anyone using velodyne hgs -10 subwoofer. I used an HGS12 for several years, was always surprised on how good it sounded and integrated considering its price. | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks Ralph, yep, I've damped many a horns, but these are exposed and I'll either need to cover them or figure out some way to make them look reasonably attractive. I typically like butyl tape on these, but that would look terrible. As far as the... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks Dan, I'm inclined to do a simple re cap with high quality parts, then brace and refinish the cabinets... original finish was a gray paint. I may paint or even veneer them. Then the horn could really use to be damped, pondering how to do tha... | |
| ATI SIGNATURE SERIES 6005 OR CLASSE CT 5300?? Congratulations, let us know your thoughts | |
| ATI SIGNATURE SERIES 6005 OR CLASSE CT 5300?? Both are fine amplifiers, I have not compared them. My questions is... With such a love affair with the Classe, why go elsewhere? Unless you can borrow something or get one on loan, why kick yourself later? You have pre sold yourself on the Classe. | |
| Woofer upgrades to Audio Physic Libra's I would not recommend to change the woofer unless you are qualified to do a lot of homework. If you are after a bit more punch getting a woofer that is 1 or 2 db more sensitive could help, but not necessarily. The woofer in the cabinet has a speci... | |
| Do you always keep the Amplifier powered on I have an old Sumo Nine, Pure Class A unit, that has never been turned off... except. I took it out of the system for about 4 months while I used Abletec Mono amps (Class D)... My Electric bill went down about $20 a month!... Now they are both in ... | |
| What's a good alternative to Pass Labs? Coda 40.0 meets your requirements | |
| Opinions on Pioneer CS series speakers Hi Saki70, I have to agree with Loomis... I do see these go from $100 to $400 on occasion. They can be a bit tubby in the mid bass, but in the right room bass can be surprisingly good. The top mid range and top end are not world class by any means... |
