Although my initial impressions were good, after extended listening sessions, I knew something was a bit off. It turns out that at identical crossover potentiometer positions for both left and right...

Guys, with the flashlight at the right angle, I could see that the contact points were indeed visible from the vent holes in the back of the pots. Therefore, I just sprayed some deoxit in a few...

ps. Will spraying deoxit thru the vent holes at the back of the pot reach the contact areas for cleaning? I am not sure if the internal pot diameter is about the same as the external diameter. ie....

Well guys, life got in the way again but I am back. I have completed the bypass mod on both the original crossovers that I have, and on the crossover pair that had the caps upgraded.

Here is a picture of one of unit of the 2nd pair of crossovers for the M19 that I have that were redone (bypass mod not done yet but upcoming). The Caps are Kimber.

I purchased the foam from the Darsts last year. Great work by them - a perfect fit and priced reasonably....Don

Thanks - I really appreciate it. Now I understand. I am going to tackle this one. I did pick up a second set of crossovers that have the new caps and resistors, but the mod is not done. I have not...

Guys - Sorry I have not been here in awhile. I tried the TAD2001 and I think the stock 902-8A were the better match for the M19 and I put them back in. This makes me think Altec really knew what...

I always thought the alnico models were more desirable than the ferrite models but I have to admit these are quite good. I'll verify the model at a later time.

Hi,

Thanks for replying to this thread. I have not pulled the woofers yet to know but I expect they were the ones that were mated with the 902-8A compression driver. this might have been the...

Hi Everybody –

I finally installed the TAD2001 in place of the 902-8A HF drivers that were the drivers that were present in my pair of M19s. I have not listened enough to tell you if this...

I don't think you can get Everests for that $:

FYI to Steve Jones - could not get in touch with you off-line. ...

Hello Altec Best - for now, I would keep the 802-8gs in case I ever have to go back to stock, either because I like them better than the TAD (cannot see how this will be possible based on my prior...

Should have had these last nite but luckily was sitting mid section, reasonably center stage and thus not in front of the speakers.

Thanks for all the replies. You guys have given me a lot to think about. I have to figure out which direction to go first. The TADs are already en route. I agree it is best to do one thing at a...

Very Interesting. I have not decided whether I should do this one myself. It sounds like Dave can really get this right since he has done it previously. Do you have his contact info. Probably...

I have pulled the crossovers out and was going to spray the pots with deoxit (could not find a good entry point so I just worked the pots back and forth for now and that has worked pretty well). ...

Hello -


Can someone please weigh in on the issues/ramifications related to replacing the 802 with TAD2001? Current model 19 is stock. I got the TAD at a reasonable price that allows me to test...
