Since you are missing an 802G, you could throw your pair of 802D in there instead. For testing purposes of course

Some speakers have no right sounding as good as they do. Like was mentioned above, these are "last speakers" for some people.

Also did you figure out which woofers you have?
Hello,

It is presently impossible for me to set up the Model 19s - as I would want to listen to them. I will not be able to do a comparison.

( I would want to re-do the M-19 crossover, re-do the internal wiring extensively, and mass load the enclosure with at least 300 pounds per side. ) That just isn't going to happen.

For the next three months, all my audio effort goes to two current "priority" projects

(a) finishing a DIY passive system attenuator and

(b) finishing the redesign / build of two ( 2) DIY Direct Coupled JJ 2A3-40 SET monaural amplifiers.


I am upgrading .....from my December 2016's "dual mono on a single chassis" amp build, to :

two (2) separate mono amps, on two (2) chassis, to obtain a more optimized lay-out, that only true mono amps will allow.

LOL, it only took one month, December 2016, for me to became " spoiled - ruined for life " - about ever-again using stereo ( shared L-R power supply ) amplifiers on my ALTECS .

This occurred, after living with / and first hearing the new DIY "dual mono on a single chassis" 2A3 amps - only for that ONE month. Now, after HEARING that, my amplifier priority has become..... I want to hear my speakers slightly improved over that, with TRUE separate monaural amplifiers. Two.

'Am re-designing the two custom power transformers, tonight and tomorrow. Cool project.

Regarding identifying M19s woofers, 'will take you say-so, on what they are, since you know much more than me, of such things. Thanks.

Regards to all, have fun, I am.

Low Ohms.....Jeff .
