Appreciate that you answered a question that's been asked by thousands before! I will get going on this!

Thanks Earl! The boards are really different, finding space/ layout would be a challenge. Looks like the 39 Ohm 10W resistors are $2 each. Not too expensive but the idea of spending money to...

I love JBL documentation, and this forum.

I stumbled across this reference in documentation of another JBL speaker:

"The dividing network has bypass
capacitors wired in parallel with the...

Hello!
I have some JBL 8330A surround speakers with the "SMPTE/ISO2969 Curve X high frequency de-emphasis." The previous version, 8330,
uses the same drivers but has a switch that would disable...

I am starting to get a Left-Center-Right setup working with the 2446H on a 2380 horns with cabs 4648A-8. Room is 15x25x8H and the listening distance will be 15ft for music and movies. Not aiming...

Thanks Earl, this is definitive information for the ages. I will start a new Malibu thread to report back with results.

I am watching for Earl's reply with much anticipation. I have wondered about this. I would like to seal those gaps and add a back or bottom facing port. I am not sure how much collector value I...

Drugolf,

As a Malibu owner I read this thread: http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?18913-Altec-9844-8B

I was under the impression that the 802 was closer to the 902, or at...

Hi Earl,

Maybe the long version will help for background.

I have tube amps. MC30's and a few other EL34 and El84 based amps, with the smallest being a strange 6AV6 6AR5 5WPC amp. I thought it...

Thanks Earl! Maybe you can tell that I'm trying to build on existing knowledge without going quite that far :).

In the 9844-8B thread the Zobel was discussed but not implemented. Ignoring the...

Just so happens I was looking for 414z specs today (regarding my "Zobel for 2.5 way" thread) and found the Vuki post here in case that helps anyone.

Inspired by this thread: http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?18913-Altec-9844-8B/

I want to try the 2.5 way setup on my Altec Malibu's [806a(16ohm) CD, 811 Horn, 2x 414Z(16ohm...

Thanks Earl, I will try the rotation and see what happens. You mean after 50 years of reliable service they might be out of spec? Who can I call to complain?

I was REALLY enjoying the way they...

GeeDeeEmm, this is great, thanks! Now that I've said "I have the schematics" I know I have the 30904 printed out somewhere, and I take it the top half of that is the same as 30923 (at 8ohms, before...

I wanted to say thanks to all for the advice on the 30904. I have the schematics for what it would take to make this work for 16ohm but haven't got around to it.

The next step in the project is...

Hello all,

I've had this pair of Malibu's for several years and haven't used them for over a year. I used to use them on McIntosh MC-30s. They always sounded good.

I recently hooked them up...

Thanks for the ideas! How would I go about the recalculation for 16 Ohm?

I spoke to Bill at GPA today who was really helpful. His theory about what I'm hearing is the "bump" in response from...

Thanks for the suggestions, is anyone aware of a rebuild instruction thread on the N800F? I only know that they are "potted" which sounds discouraging... Is there a GPA or other vendor direct...

Hello,

I have a pair of Altec Malibu's with the die-cut wood grills. I drive them with McIntosh MC-30s, Scott 299-D, or misc. solid state.

Drivers are 806A and 414Z qty. 2.

They sound...

Hello, I was at a local IMAX and thought the system sounded good, so I got some information from the local technical eng. I recently found this thread so thought I would share. He gave me a...
