iam 25 so real new to this started building my speakers when i found a marantz 2385 reciever and altec 416-8b and jbl 375 drivers at a yard sale last year i sold the 375 to fund the rest of my project and bought 808-8a with either a 511 or 811 horn i dont know witch because they have no markings after building a 10.5 cuft ported box out of mdf i mounted the horns on top with a 2nd order 800hz crossover had a local tech check out the marantz and after a good cleaning it was ready the tech also told me he had a very good eq he would sell me so i bought a ADC sound shaper 12 band eq from him and left to go home and hear what this system would sound like i was blown away didnt watch tv for the next 2 weeks just played music. so now iam thinking of building some a7s my living room is 12x20 is this to small for the 416 in a bass horn? also i have been looking at a fisher 500c on ebay i want to try tubes seems know one runs solid state is the sound much better on tube's? a audiophile on another web site says the 500c is the best buy for tube stuff i found some fully restored for $750.00 on ebay he also says i should run 1 st order crossovers. i love the sound now if it could get better with tube stuff and a 1st order crossover i would do it what do you think? would a solid state Eq hurt the sound of the tube fisher?
