Just want to say thank you to @BassKulcha @Hose53 @StuartB @marcmorin for sending me down the rabbit hole. Marc and team just completed a full resto with custom plinth by @flasher1. Not only is this thing beautiful but it sounds incredible. Dead quiet, dead on speed, and just fun to listen to. I...
Hi all,
Been lusting after the ADS and currently have the infinitys. Have a chance to pick up the ADS on BT currently. Question is, are they an upgrade over the Infinitys or more of a lateral move?
Hi All,
Just refoamed a set of these yesterday with a set of foams from my audio addiction using the proper glue on the cones (weldwood). Not sure of the history as these were a CL score ($120 for the pair plus a velodyne F1200B!) Upon firing them up, it seemed that the sound was very 1 sided...
Thanks for the breakdown Lazarus! Yeah, I'm not sure either how that guy is making a profit once time is factored in. I'm no furniture maker but I enjoy working with wood. The stand pictured above probably took me 4 hours between prep, paint, sanding, finishing, etc.
Trying to determine if its worth it to start making these on the side. I made these pair for my brother in law for xmas. Sand filled pipes, and specifically designed to be long enough to fit LPs in (for extra sound deadening, of course). Basically unlimited height and wood styles. They weren't...
Hi Mark,
Not familiar with "vintage ar", is this an online store, eBay, user on here? If you can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Nat,
I was thinking and hoping the same thing. Here is a picture of that GE speaker...
I have another quandary though, it looks like someone replaced some caps on the crossover on one of the speakers, so now I'm not sure what the proper values are. Does anyone have a picture of the stock...
Thanks Mark! That is a great help. I was under the impression that the Alnico magnets were better, but if its marginal and I can save money then all the better.
Not sure if I will, but I'm not afraid to kick anything out. So far not loving the bass balance for the majority of my listening...
Hi GDM,
Thanks for the info! Not necessarily looking for resale, if I get out what I put in I'll call it a win. The question is will these replace my Hereseys, and if so, I'll make my money on those :)
Here's my weirdo W60Es. Cabinets are in beautiful shape, but obviously those woofers have to go. Mids and highs are in tact and it looks like the XO is in tact as well. Did these come with fiberfill from the factory? Mine are stuffed...
Hi All,
Just picked up a set of these for $40 knowing the woofers were "blown". Turns out they arent, but have some odd replacements. One is a weird covered GE woofer hacked in (thankfully without cutting the cab) and the other looks like another model Wharf full range. Anyway, both have to go...
