Deang Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 When a thread has outlived its intended purpose, it really should be locked. In the meantime, I'm doubling down on zip ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeJ1 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 4 hours ago, Dave A said: Actually I do like A7's and they are one of the very few speakers that are not Klipsch I will work on. I was just hoping to get recommendations on what to do to make them be their very best full frontal audio experience. I have to admit to being a bit confused though by your audiophile comment. I though you had stated elsewhere that those A7's were the very best thing out there and that is why you had a set of them and now you are saying they are not audiophile grade quality. Are you telling me not to bother fixing these up? Best thing to do with an Altec A7 is to cut out the bass reflex section and put a Horn Sub underneath. The best part of the A7 is the straight axis midbass horn!! Then you PEQ the 802 driver and time delay the whole thing to match the subwoofer.................or you can juat use it as a top end on your Super MWM from 125 Hz. on up!! Try it, you'll like it!!

Yes and don't forget sectional area is important too! Wider thicker ties must be aligned properly to work best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it. . On Zip Ties Believe it or not the color of the zip ties do make a difference in sound. We believe it is due to the pigments used in the manufacturing process. If we use the clear ( actually milky cloudy semitransparent plastic) as the base, red ties have a more open top end. Blue ties have a bit better bottom end. Black ties actually restrict dynamics and detail as the black coloration is probably due to carbon black added to the mix. The carbon is slightly conductive and will capture and retain the EMF field instead of allowing it to move unimpeded and freely. @Deang pay attention.
