    Bozak Crossover update - 16 ohm version?

    Hello all, I've been doing my due diligence trying to read up on the many musings posted here about what should be done about old Bozak crossovers. I've gathered that I ideally want to make a few changes to the crossovers themselves besides simply recapping the system. 1) Shift the low-pass...

    Bozak Symphony B4000 crossover question

    I've been reading tons of information regarding the crossover and mods for the Bozak Symphony. I just acquired a pair that are loaded with N-101A crossover. I don't believe that is the correct recommended crossover for the symphonies (the N-101A shows cross at 800 and 2500 hz 6db per octave 8...

    Bozak Speaker 401a Revival: What To Do?

    I've got a few questions about how to proceed on a restoration/rebuild/improvement of a pair of Bozaks speakers I have acquired. Any advice is appreciated! 1. What to do about the mid-range?

    Mismatched Bozak consoles

    Estate sale diving and it appears I'm looking at one b305 and one 302a. I don't know what's on the inside. They were asking approx 500 for the both of them, and I expect a discount when they are still there tomorrow. Thoughts?

    Questions about Bozak B-305s

    Hello! I picked up a pair of Bozak B-305s recently. These were built (out of solid tropical mahogany) in Subic Bay in the Philippines in November of 1960 (presumably by a service member stationed there). Somehow they made their way back to Jackson, Mississippi and they’re in great shape! I just...

    Question about 1960’s Bozak Speakers

    I have run across a reference to Bozak using Wharfedale speakers, at least woofers, in 1960’s vintage Bozak speakers. Could this be true? Wharfedales did sell their speakers and crossovers along with instructions for building speaker cabinets. I am sure Rudy Bozak knew Gilbert Briggs of...

    Bozak 302-A’s

    Anyone seen these cabinets before? Not sure if they’re original. I know that these Bozak’s get a lot of love here. It’s a 3.5hr drive each way, but for the low asking price of $200 I’m thinking it’s worth my while. What would you pay for these? Side note: they would be looked at to replace...
