    Acoustic Research AR 302 and 2AX for the same price, which one should I pick?

    I've had 3 pairs of 2ax's over the last 20 years. None of which I cared to keep, personally. Now, the AR11's I had....that's another story. Kind of miss them sometimes.

    Polyswitch (resettable fuse) rating for EV T-3500 in Speakerlab 7

    Klipsch also used Zener diodes with their K-77 (T35) as they are so "delicate". I have a pair of SK's that had the WA4000's in them but I took them out and went to a better tweeter and way better crossover network thus no need for Zener diodes. I would pose this question to "The Loudspeaker...

    Old Large Advents - Fried fried egg tweeter cause/replacement?

    Might find one on e b a y from being parted out. Should be a simple single capacitor crossover for the high pass and accessed with the woofer out. Sometimes just age and being over driven. Sometimes pushed in.

    Klipsch Factory Speaker Diaphragm - 89486A Faceplate

    Speakerlab used ferrofluid in their T35's and Atlas mids back in the day. Anymore, they say to clean it out and don't use it. Unless you really like the K-77, there's definitely better tweeters depending on the crossovers you use.

    On a sad Klipsch note

    Good idea, Tom, and it makes sense. I'm probably the black sheep in here as I have a pair of "cornerhorns" but they are not of the Klipsch brand name nor are the drivers. (I do have Epic CF-3's, though) So, I mainly post about them in the regular "Speakers" section as to not ruffle the...

    New NAS needed...recommendations?

    I've been using a Synology DS216j with twin 8tb drives in RAID 1 for the last 7 years. When if fails, I'll probably go to something similar again. We use multiple Synology 12 disc devices where I'm the network administrator and have close to a Petabyte of storage in multiple locations for...

    On a sad Klipsch note

    Sadly, I use that analogy a lot these days.

    Pioneer 100 HPM POTENTIOMETER

    I'm just going off what real Pioneer reps and dealers of the 70's/80's said that would know about as well as anyone. Oh, and it's just a woofer....not a subwoofer. ;)

    Polk Audio SDA2 speakers

    If this is the correct crossover, pic taken from ebay, the suspect part is circled in blue. For that matter, just twist that part so both leads touch and it will be bypassed. Problem solved. They were put on most all speakers, in some fashion, to help against returns and blown tweeters. I...

    Pioneer 100 HPM POTENTIOMETER

    Exactly the same. It was all a marketing change in the late 70's so they could sell more powerful receivers with their speakers. This was told to me by a couple of Pioneer reps that were doing it in the mid 70's and into the 80's.

    Polk Audio SDA2 speakers

    Remove 4 screws on the terminal cup and the crossovers will be attached to that. It's a tiny piece, maybe half inch in diameter, and easy to spot and easy to replace. Also, you can pull the passive radiators out (large "driver") and get a good look at them, too. Just order the inexpensive...

    Pioneer 100 HPM POTENTIOMETER

    The exact same. There's really no difference between the 100 and 200w versions except for the silver port trim rings and the numbers on the terminal cup.

    JBL L166 Grill Glue?

    This 3M Super 90 is some heavy duty spray glue and worth the difference over the Super 77. I've used this for years and especially back in my car audio days. You could also use hit glue or contact cement but can be a little messier.

    Polk Audio SDA2 speakers

    So have you opened them up and looked inside at the crossover network to see if anything is amiss? I mean, these speakers are 40 years old and most likely stock crossovers. Is it both speakers that are dropping out/muffled in volume or just one side? Is it the mids and tweeters or just one or...

    Norman Laboratories Model 9s Inherited

    Those woofers all share a common cabinet; they are not a divider. If you turn the back one off, it still moves and is acting as a passive radiator. At least they did in mine. It's just an acoustic suspension cabinet...nothing fancy going on in there.
