Hi Guys,
Me and my father have been getting his original S8R system up and running again. His LE15A's needed both foaming and reconing, as one of the voice coils were toast.
We are still getting the rest of the system back in order. We used to have an SA600 integrated amp driving the system. It seemed to match the system very well. Now we have a Marantz 7T and 15. I have fond memories of the SA600 driving the speakers, and the 7T / 15 sound well, but the low frequency stuff seems too prominent, especially in a certain area 20 - 25 feet away from the speakers...like it hits a resonance or something. If I place the 50 hz filter on the 7T in line, it doesn't help much, but if I place the 100Hz in line, it does get better.
Just wondering if by having to recone LE15. is the PR15 now out of tune with the cabinet? How about the crossovers? Or, do you think the 7T/15 has flatter response further down low when compared to the old SA600. Wish I could just try the SA600 to compare, but it's caps are all dried out.
7T and 15 were just gone thru and returned to OEM spec by a Marantz expert, so they are up to date.
Regards,
Rich
