Hey gang-
i've been going back and forth with these old boys as to whether to outboard the 375 and 075 with custom wood horns, or just elevate them to ear level etc, whether to run them with a single tube amp, or actively crossover/bi-amp etc.
i think i've finally come to the realization that leaving them stock appearing is going to be the most realistic for me - even if I can't improve on the potato masher/lens setup - I still might replace the 075 with 077 down the road - but for now, i'll leave them stock..
what I am wondering is if anything can be done to improve the stock crossover network... i'd be ok with building/buying a new unit for each (leaving the stock set in place, but just running new wire in to a modern crossover network -
something that i could single amp now, and eventually bi-amp down the road.
i'm on the home stretch of rebuilding an estate sale find McIntosh C22 and MC240 that will live with these guys - and might eventually put something a little "stouter" on the big 15" - but I really do not want to introduce any additional active circuitry between the preamp and power amp(s)
any thoughts here? I know there was a guy who redesigned the crossover for the L-100/43xx series, but i don't know if anyone every improved on the stock network for the S8R setup...
Thanks
