In the second pic that is a water stain from me wiping the top down after spilling an ashtray and not seeing that it ran down the side,looks better now. They sound very good. Was using a fisher tube integrated but it made a poping sound so now I'm using a couple of receivers to see what I like (a marantz 2238 and a pioneer 980). Looking to go with a class A SS amp or tubes in the future. Can believe how little power they need. Smaller port or wings seem to be the next step.
Just a couple watts will get them screaming..When they were designed there wasn't a whole lot of 100-200 watt per channel SS amps..It was mostly flea powered tube amps..Originally Posted by badtoby
Congrats on the nice job ! Love to see when a plan comes together.It makes it all worthwhile.. The wings and smaller ports should really step up the bass output on those..
Kudos! nice job!
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Wow--great job on your restoration! I'll be interested to hear your impressions of them after you reduce the port size and/or add the wings--I think even just reducing the port size will really beef up the bass.....
Being of "Sound" Mind
Wings should be full hight and about 10~12" wide, IIRC. Closing up the port will help the bass. Mine are currently at about 100" sq, but I'm closing them down to around 76" sq as that seems to work best for my set up. YMMV, of course.
