Mycuff Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Silly question, and I hate to bug specific people via PM, but is the AL-3 a direct drop in for the AL? I had planned to simply unhook one and hook up the other, but then I read something about a woofer capacitor for the AL-3 being separate and in the woofer box. That can't be right?

OO1 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 You're confusing the AL series for the Lascala and the AK series for the Khorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make note of what is connected to what when you unhook the AL. Then simply connect the AL3 the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycuff Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Thanks for the confirmation. I read too much into some other information, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycuff Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 My new (to me) XOs. They look pretty clean. Seller says they are working. I shall soon find out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycuff Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 XOs installed. Had one bad solder joint causing the woofer to cut out. Now working great, no thanks to the sellor who did an absolute crap packing job. Also, found an alternate for the brittle orange gasket for the squawker. Ace Hardware. Outer diameter is 2 1/4 but inner diameter was spot on. Maybe just a bit thicker. Cut with scissors, not pretty but took like 20 seconds so whatever. $3.50 each. And yes all three holes are the same size. Its an optical illusion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Nice job. Sounding pretty good I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many folks think the AA networks sound better at lower volume, and these do sound better the more I turn them up, but based on my listening habits the AL-3 is the right choice for me.

Deang Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 It’s the right choice because of the drivers you are running. If you want the sound to be a bit more crisp and detailed - replace those 40 year old capacitors. Be sure to use their modern factory equivalents.

82 Cornwalls Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Have you modified the crossovers? The ones pictured are Heresy HIE right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Seller was confused. Those are AL-3’s. HIE is basically a Heresy tapped out like an AA, and uses an 8uF instead of a 13uF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycuff Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Yeah. Maybe why I got them at $200. But I was honest with him. I asked the seller if they said AL-3 and he said they did. Dean also confirmed before I bought them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great sounding speakers and do a lot of things right...and definitely have more bass. I just upgraded my JBL XOs to T3s as well. Not a huge change, although no real way to compare. They seem a little more refined, but more importantly are ready to go another 35 years. A good reason to do the same for the ones in my La Scala. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
