    EV HR9040 Horns - New Speaker Day

    I'm pretty excited about today's haul. I have some big Bag End S15B-D's that I've refinished and thought about using for a large, sensitive 2 channel 2-way setup. These came up locally, with W bins and a pair of reconed JBL 15"s and a pair of EV 15"s. The seller included some Dayton audio...

    Like a Phoenix, I rise? (Continuation from Intro)

    So, if you read my (hopefully entertaining) intro post, you know that I have been dabbling in 2-channel high-end, mid-level and budget audio for nearly 40 years. I have come full circle and am ready to build a new budget-minded system. But where was I to begin? So much had changed! We'd gone...

    Do different vendor crossover caps really sound all that different?

    This weekend I found a single orphaned AR-28S for an astoundingly low price of $8.99 at a local Thrift Store. I almost cried... so I am eager to hear this critter sing... and hopefully, find it a twin sibling at some point New surrounds are on order... As far as the cross-over is concerned...

    New, small speakers for gallery space

    Hey all - question for a friend here. What would everyone recommend in terms of a smallish speaker for ceiling mounting in a gallery space? It has to be something available new, not vintage or second hand. Something relatively full sounding for a decent sized space (we're not expecting...

    Tannoy Lynx Restoration

    Hi all! I have been restoring a set of Tannoy Lynx speakers from the Wildcat line from the mid/late '80s. It actually took me a while to figure out what I had as there are no model names on the cabinets and no part numbers on the drivers. Google image search helped a lot. The drivers are the K...

    Crossover Capacitor Replacement Questions

    Case 1: I have a set of 2 way speakers (PSB Image 2B) that I want to upgrade capacitors in. The 3rd order XOvers have a 1.5 uF, 8.0 uF and a 12 uF cap. They are all 10% tolerance caps. It's easy to match the 1.5 and 12 uF with identical capacitance caps within my price range for this project...

    Doed anyone use Monoprice subwoofers?

    I'm trying to find a decent subwoofer for my home theater system. I was thinking of buying a Dayton sub-1200, but I found a Monoprice 12 inch subwoofer for $108. The reviews are good, but I want to hear from more discerning ears. Are they decent for the price, or should I spend a little more for...

    Kenwood KM-106 upgrade w/ Klipsch Synergy B-20s?

    Hey guys, just looking for some opinions on a purchase I've been mulling over. Currently I'm running two Klipsch Synergy B-20s from a Dayton Audio DTA-120, but I found a great deal on a Kenwood KM-106 for $60 in what looks like excellent condition. When I bought the Dayton, I hadn't really...

    super low budget drivers for jbl 4530 scoop bins

    Hi there, I'm looking for opinions between using an eminence gamma 15a2, vs a dayton audio pa380-8 in a jbl 4530 cabinet. I know they're not 2205s, but they seem close to what you want for ts specs in a scoop cabinet, and they're $100 ea, which I can actually afford- they will be crossed over...
