I didn’t want to bring it up, but since HCSGuy jumped in, my first thought was oh dear, those dimensions look difficult. If it was my room and I...

Agree, I am sure a lot of us would love to be in the position to design and build a room. Instead, we are just trying to deal with what we have....

I do not know what phase you are in, or what your budget is, so take this advice, or don't. As drawn, you have a very difficult room. I would...

I wonder if the "stuff" the Altecs are potted in is different than the JBLs. Do you have any pictures of the pieces you got out of your Altecs? ...

I just unpotted some Altec N3000 crossovers and the stuff just chipped and pulled away rather easily. I thought I was going to have to melt it off...

It depends. Aluminum electrolytics definitely age, leak, fail. But film type caps have a much longer lifespan and often are still ok unless...

Sounds like a plan. :)

Hi Champster, here is what I used to help determine my construction for my room. A good thing to follow as I got my STC rating to over 60 db....

As asked, I break the silence: Waiting patiently Horns for HF and Cones for midrange across the Atlantic (first candidates mids - hope I can stay...

Qms and VAS surprises

This thread would not be complete without a review by Anti K of the most effect wood chipper to complete the process...Lol.

The writers were looking at the problem from the mass market point of view where a Sonos speaker is considered hi-fi. Like everyone else on this...

Hi Eino, Welcome to the Lansing Heritage. This is an interesting find you got and should lead to a nice restoration project. The cabs look like...

Great article - I especially liked the link to the listening test to see if you can hear the difference between 128Kbps MP3, 320Kbps MP3, and...

Like others have stated, if you are modifying the floor structural stiffness and since this is a second floor room, by all means add insulation in...

Please post the images on the forum. I won't open them from there and when those links no longer work the thread will have no context. Rob:)

yeah these are old caps they will lose their performance over time. And now a days they have things that are half the size with better sounds. That...

Did you find one? If so, do you mind if you share your contact? Thanks in advance!

My best guess is that is a custom build or retailer's product by someone who knew what he was doing. It combines a PA treble with a bass reflex...

The 2226s will have higher sensitivity and a higher Fc. You could get usable performance out of the system if you were to bi-amp the system with a...

I'm new to this myself and I'm rebuilding some 4312As, but my focus is mostly cosmetic. I thought I read that the original caps are probably still ok...
