  1. I've found that for me two is better. My two subs are diiferent and work fine together. I have mine on different sides of the room which seem to fill the room better. Makes the sub bass less directional. Experiment with them and enjoy the adventure.
  2. It was in two parts. The first part was on last weekend. I saw both and really enjoyed them.
  3. I think forum member DeanG may do that for you. PM him.
  4. No grill cloth in front of any of my speakers when I listen to them. You see how I did my Klipschorns.
  5. You did a beautiful job. They look great and I know they sound it.
  6. Caps should be replaced because of their old age which does not cost to much. Bob Crites a forum member here sells good cap replacement kits on eBay. He sells new crossovers too if you'd rather. I use a set of his crossovers and really like them! Link provided below. I'd go ahead and do new wire while at it. New wire cost so little. Drivers are hopefully OK and last a very long time. I replaced all mine, but that's just me. Most do not. I heard a big difference, but mileage may vary. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZbobcritesQQssPageNameZSTRKQ3aMEFSQ3aMESOI
  7. If it's a small tare. Cut a piece of single ply toilet paper just a little bigger than the tare to cover it like a bandage. Place just regular Elmer's white glue on the front and back side of the toilet paper patch until it is soaked. Apply it over the tare and press it flat on to the speaker. I use tweezers to hold on to the patch to apply it to the tare position. Take your time and be gentle. Apply to the back side of the speaker, so the patch does not show. Tissue paper does not work, because it tares too easily and paper towel is too thick. Allow glue to dry fully or use blow dryer if you want to dry it fast. This patch will dry like a hard piece of paper. I've done this more than once and it works great! Just another great use for toilet paper.

  9. I want to build these crossovers for some A7 speakers that I'm gathering parts together to build. These crossovers look simple enough to build. Has anyone built these? Where is a good place to buy the coils and caps? Any special brand or type I should use? Thank you for any help! http://members.tripod.com/~ThunderBobWorld/A7xover.htm
  10. I have a Marantz 2275 hooked up to my Klipschorns and they sound amazing!
  11. I'm in the process of rebuilding a set of Altec A7 speakers. Will these diaphragms selling on ebay work well enough? http://cgi.ebay.com/FreeShip-Diaphragm-for-Altec-604-802-804-808-908-8-ohm_W0QQitemZ170062277232QQihZ007QQcategoryZ47092QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  12. I really enjoyed that video. Thank you. The one thing that struck me most was even though they have very high end audio systems in which they have invested a lot of money. They have not forgotten it's really about the beauty of the musical performance which comes from the hearts of the musical artist and not getting too caught up in the performance of the audio system.
  13. My Marantz AV600 preamplifier has stereo left and right sub outputs. That is one of the reasons I bought it.
  14. I use two. I've found two fill the room much more completely and you do not have to push two as hard which seems to give me cleaner sub bass also. I will never go back to one again after hearing the results I get with two!
  15. I use their 12" and plate amplifier in my own built cabinet and it sounds incredible! The small cabinet on floor behind right satellite houses amplifier.
  16. Yes, there is hope. A fabric store by my house actually sells black grill cloth. It is good quality and cheap. They cut it off a big roll. I've used it for several speaker projects over the years. Check and you may find some by you.
  17. It's probably the woofer, but I did have a woofer buzzing once and found the problem to be that part of the woofer gasket had come unglued and was causing the buzzing. Some white glue and the problem fixed.
