I Want To Take A Knife To My Altecs
Seriously. I remember reading here a few years ago that some people cut the bug screens out of their 902 drivers with a knife. Does anybody recommend AGAINST doing so? Does anybody have any advise as to the best way to do this? Snap knife? I have a pair of Model 14's with 902-8a h.f. drivers and I'd like to perform surgery ASAP. The high end of my 14's isn't quite as "clear and open" sounding as the high end of my Model 19's--I thought that maybe this would help. I can't imagine that it's good for sound (especially high end) to have to pass through a screen. FYI, I always keep the grills on them when not in use, and they sit in my living room 24/7 -- never outside so bugs aren't really an issue. They have Altec 34647 diaphragms in them which I believe to be original. I'm not worried about the potential for a small reduction in the resale value of my Model 14's if it makes them sound "better" ( I will probably never sell them anyways). Thoughts?
