jbl LE100S w/ M5040 horn?

[vinny]

Vinny,

I believe your best path forward ( to obtaining a top-shelf listening experience with a Lansing product ) is to set aside your JBL components for now and instead make an Altec M19 knockoff.

The sectoral/radial horn found in the M19 ( as flawed as I think it is ) still images better than any of the older JBL slant plates ( or potato mashers ).

You would need to make the cabinets from plans posted at GPA ( or purchase cabinets from VSR > which is the cabinetry outfit in Atlanta that GPA has partnered with ) .
- You'll also need to buy a pair of 811B horns in the used market ( typically available for @ 150. on eBay ).

The main components ( 416-8B woofer, 802-G8 compression driver, 1201-8a crossover ) are all available for purchase from Great Plains Audio.

Who can you recommend in Ontario to tweak or update Altec crossovers?

You might search out the LHF member here who runs/ran a HiFi shop in Toronto selling higher-end JBL stuff ( among other lines ) to see if that is a service they offer.

Unfortunately I forget his forum name.

EDIT: his LHF name is ronaltronics

I notice his store does installations. See: Altronics installations for more info.

Alternately, you could simply wire up a pair of Altec 30923 mid-range pads and then place them between the networks HF output and the 802 drivers.



Just wire up the top half seen in the pic.

Thank you very much. My legatos have twin 15 inch speakers in them
