0T EPI inverted dome tweeters for my 755Es good idea?

[Phil-G]

i really liked the pair that came with my 100s and I figured if started them out at about 5k or so, it would add a little kick to them.

I bought a beat up pair of one of the big multi-driver EPI models. It had the older version of the tweeters in it. It's my understanding that EPI/Epicure is supposed to be well regarded. I thought the execution was cheaply done, However. The wiring was atrocious, and there were no t-nuts, just wood screws into MDF/particle-board, and I don't recall what else. I parted them out, but I threw a lot away, because it was garbage...... several of the woofers had shifted magnets or something that prevented the suspension from working.....could have been glue, I recall several drivers having glue all over. From what I saw I wouldn't bother with them again, no matter what they're supposed to sound like.

I had a pair of EPI LS-81 back in the late 70s, early 80s in the doors of my VW Beetle.



Along with my Pioneer Super Tuner:



And some Altec 6x9 4As in the back




I was rockin.

Those EPI inverse dome tweeters sounded amazing.

good idea?

Depends on the sensitivity. As long as they're more sensitive than the 755's byt at least a couple db, they should work well.

Alan, that KP-500 sure brings back some memories. Agree about the EPI tweeters as fine sounding specimens.

Altec build quality has spoiled you.

i loved those super tuner pioneers. and the antitheft bracket. i see you still have the loudness switched on alan.
well guess i'll find out what they'll do. i remember they were nice at low volume. they should just fill in some of the upper range.
i opted out of the red ring pair because the dome on one of them appears to have a funny looking spot in it. found these instead.

these are the same model i had before and i know what they sounded like. plus they were 10 bucks cheaper.

That's a nice early one too! Note that it is missing the little round yellow "supertuner" logo that would be found on the tape door of the later models. Somewhere around here i have the 8-track version of that deck, the TP-900.

i have an fm to 8track converter if your interested.

I have 1 8-track tape, Best of Jim Nabors. I consider it a complete experience, leaving me with no desire for 8-tracks or anything even remotely related to them.

i remember one christmas in the 90s, my boss (an old cuban guy) had me repair his 8 track player and his favorite elvis chrismas tape. spent two days of shop time just fixing the tape. had to take it apart and fix a bad part in the tape. i cut and spliced it till there was only one verse missing. and they never missed it. plus i had to iron out about three feet of wrinkled tape that got sucked into the player. he was so happy, not so much his wife . i miss working for him.

Back in the day you just shoved an empty folded up Zig Zag package in the slot with the tape and called it good.

Elvis Christmas tunes on 8-track................................. i think some would have us banned from an Altec forum. My Altecs are all nervous just watching me type the words. SSSShhhhhhhh, i hear somebody whimpering "No Daddy! No! Not that!"
