A7 vs Model 19 for home HF use

[VolvoHeretic]

I’m finding it interesting that when the Altec A7-500's where running 15 years ago with 150 wpc into 8 piezos per side, 4 in parallel /4 in series (I know now that they all should have been in series) I ran the Soundcraftsman 12 channel EQ at +12db bottom two channels, -3db middle , and +10db top and that sounded perfect in a 20 foot wide by 40 foot long room.

The 100 wpc into Peavey T300's with 3 piezos pre side sounded perfect on a Radio Shack 15 band EQ at +12db bottom, 0db middle, and +10db top in the same room.

But 100 wpc into my little Jensen satellites / 12” passive sub and one piezo per side with the same Radio Shack EQ is over powering and I have to run it +12db bottom, -3 db middle, and 0 db top and I want an L pad and low pass cut-off added in a 14 foot by 35 foot room.

Enjoy;
