My 802's have the lite frams in them in fact all mine do... The 23744, so Alan is going to be real careful with them isn't he ? If your only using 1 watt tube amps then they should be fine... I think you will like them as well..

Earl he could also use a M19/1201 crossover with the 802's too.. Or the 30923 with his XO as you suggest... No matter how you slice it the 802 will extend much farther than the 806 which i think will make the difference.. I won't ever use an 806 ever again.. Don't care for them much.


The 30923 is required more with a medium efficiency woofer like a 411.But once Alan gets all setup and can measure everything then we will know for sure...

But you still have to figure in how it actually sounds to his ears... A signal missing 14-18 Khz sounds kind of dull to me..I too prefer the low end but I also like the cymbal crashes and snare drum cracks to "HANG" in the air so to speak. That just sounds right to me...But to each his own.. Once he has something to compare it to he will know which way he wants to go.
