The "Glow In The Dark" blog recommended a vintage tube amp for the OB Zeniths so I retrieved this gereatric receiver from storage and put it to good use. It's a Rotel EL84 and it probably makes 4 or 5 watts but those single ended flea watts are all the Zeniths would ever need. Lovely combination I must say. Still use a Yung SD 100 watt plate amp for the H-frame woofers.
Can I find those Zeniths on the ebay I suppose
That's exactly where I'm headed with these. I pulled these from a Zentih console that also contained a Zenith 5G29 single ended EL84 amp. I rebuilt and modified the amp so that it's very similar to a Decware SE84. Now that I know how nice these things sound, I've got to build some nice looking baffles for them so they can go in my main system. I might do something like Glow In The Dark did, or like the JE Labs Arkiv.
The spousal unit was out tonight, so I brought the OBs in and hooked them up in my main system. Man they really sound sweet with the tube amp. What really surprises me is how balanced they are. There's no part of the music that stands out, but there's nothing that's missing either. Also I have them about eight feet apart and the soundstage is huge. The wifey will not be pleased that they in the house, but I'll take that heat for a while while I get some nice baffles made.
Thanks - that was the look I was going for. Tie-Dyes are a lot of fun to make. This one was double dipped!When I enlarged your photo, the wall hanging reminded me of a past LSD trip I once had.
Crazy Man!
I have some old Magnavox 12" Woofs and 4" Tweets (Eminence sourced?) that I want to fool around with similar to your rig.
I wonder how similar they are to the Zenith 49's? Did Zenith produce their own speakers?
Nice Job!
