    New cabs for Paradigm drivers

    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...

    Need A Little Help Getting Tubes Tested In Oklahoma

    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.

    Tips on removing SX-780 grill.

    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...

    Anybody ever had "White van" speakers they actually enjoyed?

    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. martin

    Recapping a Stromberg-Carlson model RS-406 crossover

    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...

    Recapping a Stromberg-Carlson model RS-406 crossover

    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...

    Open Baffle Epiphany!

    Darg 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. Martin

    Open Baffle Epiphany!

    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
