    Adding JBL 2402H to Altec Model 19s to make it 3 way.

    Hello AK community, I'd like to ask for some guidance here. I have a chance to purchase a set of JBL 2402H locally and was wondering if anybody has tried adding these as supertweeters to Altec Model 19s. I believe 2402H are ferrite but my 416-8B on the Altec are alnico afaik. is this...

    Help identify these speakers

    These speakers are in the 3010/3011 ampex. I have heard Ampex made some great speakers. Are they CTS or Eminence, maybe? Ceramic or alnico, and which is better between the two? The magnets look big and heavy for a '60s speaker. Do these look any good, decent? Please help, anyone? Merry...

    Is this a vintage JBL alnico woofer?

    My father inlaw owned and operated a custom stereo business in Santa Cruz from the 1960's through to 2000 that specialized in Altec Lansing / JBL. He recently passed away and I have been trying to identify some of his remaining inventory. Most components self identify clearly, but ran across a...

    Speaker identification/manufacurer needed

    I have a pair of these speakers. What I know is that they are 12" and 4 ohm. They work and don't require much power. Small alnico magnets. Fairly small voice coil. What I don't know is who manufactured them. I've seen some advertised on eBay that look like this that claim to be "Oxford"...

    Need Opinions - Sansui SP-2000 Replacement Woofer

    I need some opinions. Setting up the old stereo, I realized I needed some speakers. So I get a pair of Sansui SP-2000’s on CL to go with the old Marantz 2215B from college and the Pioneer PL-112D turntable that my wife brought to the marriage some 35 years ago. It sounded so good to listen...

    1971 Plush 4000G w/4 12s

    Hello all, I have a 1971 Plush 4000G with a 4-12 Plush cabinet. It has spent a lot of it's life in storage and is still working great. I'm thinking about trying some newer speakers in it. I read some old threads here and there were quite a few experts on the subject but they've gone missing...

    Philips and Norelco Fullrange drivers: 9762M, 9762/05, AD 4877 M

    I’d be interested in hearing about projects using these drivers, particularly the Norelco AD 4877 M 8” drivers. They might be interesting for an office/bookshelf project but I’m not sure where to start with cabinet. OB, sealed, ported?

    DIY Open baffle conversion of W70 Wharfedales?

    I've posted the below in the British Audio section, so apologies for those that have seen this twice... I've got a Wharfedale 60D Mark II pair that are acoustic suspension and I've been very happy with them. Good crisp response and enough bass and clean highs. I also have a pair of very early...

    Wharfedale W70 open baffle conversion

    I've got a Wharfedale 60D Mark II pair that are acoustic suspension and I've been very happy with them. Good crisp response and enough bass and clean highs. I also have a pair of very early all alnico W70s that are ported. While these sound pretty good, with complex music having multiple bass...

    Fisher xp-16

    I just acquired a set of Xp-16s and found that an 8" and 12" we're replaced. I plan on rebuilding these and would like all original speakers to work with. So does anyone have an 8" or 12" they would part with? Cts alnico

    How'd I do? Just picked up a pair of Wharfdale W70s for $50.

    So I ran across these in the local classifieds, for $50, and thought, how could I lose. I showed up and it was a college kid selling them out of his dorm room. He was running them on a crappy Sanyo receiver/turntable combo unit, so listening to them was less than optimal, but they seemed to be...
