ALTEC 846B Trouble/week sound?

Ah, SCIENCE!

A glitch in the listening tests:

Compensation filter for BMS 4550 was not properly connected.

For the 8-Ohm Valencia and similar, using BMS 4550-8 or 4552nd-8 HF driver. Expanded vertical (dB) scale, last:

Zilch,

Would it helped if I found a pair of 8 ohm EV-T35's, or should I get a new pair of tweeters altogether?

Thanks!

Keep up the good work!

I however wank more and work less...

Hi, Storm.

8-Ohm T-35s would not improve your system, I don't believe. Yours seem to be connected as 8-Ohm equivalents presently.

If anything, I'd put Crites tweeters in, instead, if they'll fit, and, in the end, you decide you still want tweeters. They're deeper than your T-35s, probably, at 3.5" behind the horn mounting flange.

I have an 8-Ohm pair of those.

Jack's just got set up to do measurements, and is figuring this stuff out, now.

I suspect he'll know a lot more in a week or two.

I'll send the 16-Ohm T35s back to him in a couple of days so he can evaluate them among the other alternatives. :thmbsp:

[Still a bit more testing I need to complete here, first....]

Valencias, Before and After

Before, left two.

After, right two.

Seems we're all but done with it now.... :thmbsp:
