A5s with 1505Bs

[KBergsson]

Awesome speakers keep the 1505's they are way better than the 805's or 1005's... I'm curious as to what electronics you traded to get those Awesome Speakers... My assumption is you got a smokin deal

Thanks Altec Best, I exchanged a Leben preamp I had had for awhile. I already love the 1505Bs The Leben can be bought again if I miss it, the 1505Bs are the only ones I have seen for sale in my part of Europe for at least the past 7 years.

The 1505's look great! I would stick with those for sure. They are hard to find nowadays

I have been looking for some multi cells for a while with no luck. I'm thinking about buying a pair of the wood or ceramic versions from the guy on ebay in Europe. They are supposed to be accurate to the originals. There is no replacement for the real thing though.

Good luck with your tweaking. If it were me, I would use the 515 woofers in the A5 cabs

Thanks Elitopus1 I have decided to stick with the 515s, my initial impression was probably because they are less forgiving than the 416s, and where somewhat boomy on some material. I reduced the amount of rockwool damping and that opened up the bass resolution. Im only in an early phase, initially I will stiffen the cabs and play with reflex opening. It took me several years and 4 crossovers to get my Altec 604-8Gs to really sing, I expect the A5 to be a little easier but still it will take time to get everything right (or more correctly - as I like it ).
Markus Klug at Klughoerner makes really beautiful wooden replicas.
