Greetings all, Just before the lockdown I gambled on an Estate sale offering across state---Estate sponsors agreed to deliver ---so, I took a shot. The cabinet is by Acousticraft and had a Tube Concertone reel, a Pioneer 1500, a Garrard 88 and lo and behold a pair of JBL D131 speakers. I love the cabinet and I am sure there was a tube set up originally and then got replaced by the early Pioneer. At the moment I have a Yamaha M4 and C-2 with a Sony 2251 connected. It turns out these speakers were originally for a guitar???? and foursome reason they were chosen in this custom install.The cabinets have an additional front opening for a mid-tweeter that has a wood block covering it. Guess the original owner did not want to spring the extra $ for the enhanced sound.So, Now is where I come to this forum to help in decision making...........
The sound of the D131 s by themselves is ok but very flat. When I added my Soundcraftsmen Equalizer-----they came to life and am just loving the sound experience. [ My main set is AR 3as and my other set is AMT1Bs. ]
I have had in storage for some time a set of D131s, 075 s and a pr of 2400's . I am guessing these came from a C38 [?] that for some reason got disassembled.
I think what I want todo is install my factory wired Dynaco ST-70,Pas, and FM3 and hide my equalizer on the bottom shelf and go ahead and install the 2 075s and the crossovers I have. My dilemma is I like the sound so well with the D131s with the equalizer-----should I leaVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE OR WILL THE ADDED 075 MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE? The ball is in your alls court with my appreciation !
