Hello,
I am new to the forum, and have obtained a pair of Altec 9849A Studio monitors.
The bass is fine, but I would like to enhance the upper end with 908-8B drivers.
Should the crossovers be rebuilt or redesigned? Do the enclosures need to be ported as in some of Altec's other models? Any thoughts on the pro's and con's of protecting these speakers with fuses? What is with the speaker wire terminals? Hard to believe there was nothing better off the shelf to equip these with in the mid 70's.
I have time off during the holidays to work with these speakers. I am building stands to get them about 18" off the floor, they sounded way too muddled close to the floor. They are currently on stands I built for Wharfedale Diamonds. ( I usually
tend to overengineer things whenever possible).
Thanks for your time, and Happy Holidays to all.
