Hi all!
I've recently restored and retrofitted a 1939 GE console with a tube preamp board, NAD amplifier and Voxel sub woofer. I'd like to build a pair of appropriate height tower speakers that would mimic the late 30's look of the console. I have a pair of white Paradigm Titan V.2 that sound...
Sorry gentlemen, I've been laid up with the flu.
Yes, investing in a better tester is a viable option.
But then I'd miss out on making a connection with a fellow audio enthusiast.
Hi all!
Several months back I acquired a good number of preamp tubes and would like to get them tested beyond what my emissions tester can tell me.
I have...
60+ 5751's
40+ 5814's
14 12A*7's
16 6X4W's
24 GE 6AQ6's
and a few misc.
All are of various brands and constructs.
I would be...
Hi all.
I've got a SX-780 cabinet that I want to re-cover with a wood veneer.
I have removed the old vinyl and prepped the surface, but having a difficult time
figuring out how to remove a very securely glued grill.
Tried a heat gun...nope. Tried applying lacquer around the edges...nada.
I'm...
Before I knew what Hi-Fi was, I had a pair of WV "Acoustic Studio Monitors" that sounded good till I opened them up and all that was inside was a lot of air and a single cap on the woofer. Sold them at a pawn shop for $40.00 and ran.
Lesson learned.

Didn't intend to bring this thread to the top again, but I've had several request for the cabinet plans link and thought I could just
paste a link onto the last post.
I guess editing previous post are a thing of the past with this new format...anyhoo.
Here is the link...
I'm changing my opinion on these SC 406's.
Sorry, I should have been more thorough in my evaluation.
I'm a big believer in the synergy between different components, finding the right pre/amp, receiver etc for a given set of speakers.
My basement bench gear is a Yamaha C-70 and a Hitachi HMA-7500...
Hi all.
Shortly after my last post, I went ahead and built new plywood cabs in accordance with the dimensions of the original cabs.
All I can say is...they look better than they sound.
Weak in both high and low freq. I added the retro super tweeter and even swapped out the woofers with some...

Thanks for the input.
Unfortunately, I don't have the original xovers or specs.
That's not far off what I was thinking, leaning closer to 4000Hz.

Should I try and crossover the woofer and horn in a 2 way, say around 3000hz?
Or a 3 way?
Either way do you suppose the 3rd woofer with a dedicated plate amp could help the bottom end as well?
Thanks
Martin
