So I've been enjoying building up my vintage setup and I'm aware that my speakers are the weakest link. So far I have cobbled together the following:
Technics SL-3300 turntable w/ an MP-100 cartridge
Pioneer SA-7100 amplifier
Pioneer SX-535 receiver (soon to be in the mix...don't have it quite...
I own a lot of vintage gear. They are slowly having problems. The first gear I bought was a Pilot 602. My ears were young and thought it sounded great. Had Quadraflex speakers. This one now is needing recapping, works but sound is distorted. Then I bought a Kenwood KR7600 new with a pair of HPM...
Hi all,
New guy, here to learn. My google search results for a lot of audio research I'm doing keep leading me to AK and I can already say it's been an incredible asset and inspiration.
Looking forward to learning to navigate the site and dig in. Apologies in advance as I bring very little to...
Folks,
I have a question - and I am looking for some real feedback please. I have a pair of restored HPM 100b's woth new crossovers. The cabinets are in great shape and I have replaced the defective bass, mids and tweeters over time with original but functioning parts. The crossovers were...
I'm new, so please have understanding and patience with my crash course in ak forums.
As a kid growing up, both of my parents were life long military. So I was always bouncing base to base. One of my fondest memories was the stereo my dad was always adding to and enjoyed his love of music and...
Besides the wattage rating, what is the difference between Pioneer HPM100s and 200s. Are the drivers rated differently or is it just the crossovers that are different. Apologies if has already been covered, I performed a general search on HPMs and there were many, many posts. Thanks in advance.
i might get a hpm110 that I plan to drive with either a sansui au9500 or au-d11 mk2.
Having read it is a follow up in design to th jbl l100, I thought it might be a good matc. But also read some complain the mids are not the best.
Have anyone here experienced with other crossover points?
I’d...
I'm giving my son a pair of HPM 100's. They were out in my woodshop for many years and they both need a lot of work. re-veneer, new speaker fabric, Recap and recone both woofers and 1 mid and tweeter.
I've never done a recone but I'm sure we could handle it. I'm usually good at finding whatever...
Hello to all,
My name is John and to start, I'll throw in a bit of background of the receiver. The radio used to be my grandfather's, and when I received it, it wasn't working (one didn't hear the "Clic" of the relay when you turned it on). All the lights turned on, it was receiving FM and AM...
Got a good deal on a pair (the 200 watt version, (marketing!) ) but having trouble finding an amp to pair with. With my set up (everything is on a pre amp), I'm looking for a compact power amp and don't care if it's new or old. No more than $300.
Would do an integrated amp or receiver if it's...
Love em' or hate em', in great condition they sell for a profit. I've wanted a set for a while and scored them at a pretty good price, but the cabinets are shot. Normally I'd just take a set of rough cabinets and clean them up, but there are small chunks missing from these cabinets, so I'm...
