I want to recap a pair of ESS AMT 1AM, but here's the catch. A local audio shop in Kansas (Audio Mart) upgraded them back in the late 70's early 80's. I believe these are called Custom Monitor Elites adding a midrange speaker in place of the passive woofer. Anyway, the crossovers are...
Hi there,
I’m not sure if anyone could help me with these questions, but I’m using the AMTs to build an open baffle 3 way system with DSP active crossovers with Room Correction, driven by a amp of 100 to 200 watts.
At the beginning I will use one per side, and after few months I will have 4...
Just picked up a set of ESS AMT 3 rock monitors. Have learned alot here so TU.
Used to have some AMT speakers in college and should never have sold them.
Just built a basic theatre room and I wanted to get the ESS sound going again.
I purchased some ESS monitors a while back. My plan was to refurb them and get new HEIL tweeters. I re-foamed the woofer and replaced the passive radiator. These (see pics) ribbon tweeters came with the speakers. You can see the shadow where the original tweeters were. I have been researching...
Hi everyone. I have not posted in quiet a while and have been unbelievably lucky and have found tons of amazing finds for cheap. I was on Craigslist 4-5 months back, and saw these old speakers ive never seen before for $150. Little did I know, this cheap purchase would completely end my search...
Hey all you AKers out there. Hope you are being safe, staying home if you can, and being smart when yo do have to go out.
I'm starting my next audio restoration/rehab project. This time it's a pair of ESS AMT1 speakers that I am hoping to bring back to their original sound as a wedding gift for...
So, about a month ago, I was on craigslist and saw a pair of very nice ESS AMT1as for sale for $150. I made a lot of people jealous before picking them up as they said its a once in a lifetime opportunity. I snagged them as fast as I could drive. The seller had them going on his front porch as I...
I just picked up a pair of speakers from someone's garage that have been sitting for about 20 years according to the story.
He told me that his old room mate, a soon-to-be electrical engineer in college at the time, didn't have the dough to get a nice pair of speakers for himself so he made...
Hi all,
My first post here! I have been lurking for many years though.
I inherited a pair of ESS AMT-1 Towers from my dad. Over the years he had an enormous speaker collection that was constantly in flux. Advent, Altec, JBL, Bozak, ESS, Bose, EPI, Ohm, AR, Sansui, Pioneer, Tannoy, Empire...
I have a set of ESS AMT 10b speakers that are in need of some love. The heil tweeters are fine but the original woofers were replaced many years ago with pyle drivers. The pyle drivers are beyond repair and need to be replaced. Can anyone recommend some proper replacements that would work well...
Very excited to have these, and trying to figure out which version they are. They seem to have low-ish serial numbers (1440 and 1596). One woofer is the half rolled damped fabric (?) and the other has a foam surround. Both PRs have foam surrounds. (All the foam looks to be in great shape...
Hello friends,
I'm in a pickle of sorts. Due to a tragic failure with my amp, the Jet III tweeters in my FS 209.2's have blown!
Finding a pair of replacements is proving to be a real headache. I knew it would be. I've contacted ELAC directly and they have been "waiting to hear from Germany"...
Hello to everyone,
My names Craig (Australia) and this is my first post on AK, please let me know if I get anything wrong on this forum and I hope I'm posting in the right location.
Only because of the much reading (past posts from the wonderful AK team) I have done on this forum did I...
Hello,
I'm a longtime lurker fed up with constantly being unable to view content without becoming a member. So I became a member.
Yes, my title is correct. I have urinated in several ancient rivers. I'm a 2x OIF combat veteran of the 101st Airborne, a former automotive journalist and...
I'm the happy new owner of some ESS AMT-3 Rock Monitors... They're in need of some work, so I've been asking Porkloin and Automojo some questions and thought I should start my own thread rather than continue tagging along on theirs... I'm probably going to follow the Automojo recipe but mine...
I'm working on set for a friend. Right now they need foams, not an issue. Are there things I should check/test to make sure things are OK?
Looking forward to test driving them when they're done. The grills make this appear bigger than the are.
Anyone else having issues using Google searches...
