    Info on little red speakers?

    Updating this...

    I purchased a pair of Big Red Monitors...they do not have the original cross-overs, they have the crossovers from the smaller little red monitors, that had a separate tweeter and a smaller woofer.

    Wondering if someone would point me in the right direction to a pair of Big Red Crossovers?

    Hi, welcome to the site!
    I did a Google search for Big Red Monitors and it looks like the folks at the unofficial Altec site have had a few discussions on them ...

    The schematics for the Mastering Labs cross-over used in the Big Red are out there. For many years, a PDF version was hosted on the site of "Sound Practices" magazine. That magazine and its website are unfortunately long gone. However, asking around in this and the Altec forum could put you in touch with someone who downloaded and kept a copy.

    If Pro is the opposite of Con,
    then Progress is the opposite of Congress.
