christjared Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hello, Has anyone in here heard of American Acoustics Labs speakers before? My roommate called told me he found some older audio equipment in a garage. In there was a pair of AAL speakers that have 15" woofers and some old kenwood equipment like an EQ, tuner, tape deck, and an amp. I really didn't know anything about these speakers and was wondering if anyone had/has any speakers made by AAL and how they sounded. Thanks!!!!

djk Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 AAL was private label stuff made by the Mitek group (MTX), not much better than ' white van' stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidmack Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'll give 'em more credit than just white van quality. [] I ran 2 pair of AAL's with dual 12's in college. Although boomy and nothing like the Cornwalls I had back home at the time, they did the job. If you can get them for $50 or so, I think they're worth it.As always, just mho.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Damn, I almost forgot about my first stereo system. I had a 80W pioneer receiver with AAL speakers. I didn't have it long since I sold the system to my sisters boyfriend, I upgraded to the 270W pioneer receiver with speakerlab speakers. As I recall the AAL were good beginner speakers. The sound was decent for the low price. The quality of the drivers were low as well as the very basic x-over network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The crossover in most AAL is one cap hooked to the midrange, the woofer and piezo run with no parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christjared Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 Well my roommate is getting these speakers for free, and it will be his first pair of real speakers I guess. Well I guess if they are good starter speakers he should be pleased, but it will be hard to come close to the KG4's he has listened to for two years in our college dorm room!! Thanks everyone JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
