Alk engineering super AA-x exchange

Recommended Posts

I had type AA from Belles.   The caps were changed to Sonicaps by previous owner.  I thought it sounded poor.  Al changed to super AA and sounded better ....well worth the cost.

 

I have overhauled the top hat since .....and the super AAs and stock horn and drivers on a shelf.

The midrange of the Super AA ships 6dB down compared to the 3dB down of the Type AA. Most of the difference that people are hearing is the difference in midrange output. Trust me - I've done this comparison many times. If you match the midrange settings - it's a coin toss as to what a person will prefer. Not a criticism, just an observation.

A good design and good value - but I would opt for some AAs from Bob Crites and then knock the midrange down. Hard to go wrong with all new parts and much better capacitors.

Has anyone tried Al's aa

network exchange for use for LA Scala's ? & your thoughts on them .

 

 

Perhaps no one has....but give it time....

 

 

I suspect jimjimbo may be correct about the current offering; however, the concept of the Super AA /. ALK Jr. appears to have been around for about 11 or 12 years now.

 

 

 

Any help here?

 

 

Since the forum search function is often persnickety and, at times, downright pedantic to use and actually pull meaningful results, I just did a couple of Google searches specific to the Klipsch site and Audiokarma site and found enough information to keep you occupied for several days reading opinions.

 

 

Searching the terms "Super AA" OR "ALK Jr" specific to the Klipsch site returned over 1,100 hits.

Not as much chatter over on Audiokarma, but searching the terms "Super AA" OR "ALK Jr" specific to the Audiokarma site did return about 25 hits.
