    ML-1C Recap Experience

    I finally got around to recapping the ML-1C speakers. Here is how the experience went for me. I rebuilt the crossover of one speaker and put my family through some blind tests by sending a mono signal through one speaker and then another. They all said the rebuilt speaker sounded better. As for...

    ML-1C Dampening Material ?Question?

    I have a pair of ML-1C speakers acquired last year that I plan to recap the crossovers on. I have the caps and resistors and material to put the woofer back in with a proper air tight seal. When reading Roger Russell's page I saw that the speakers are an 'overdamped' design. I believe this has...

    McIntosh ML-1C (4 brand new in box from 1977) do I refoam or not?

    First time here guy and gals. So I am just trying to get your best opinion here. I just picked up (4) McIntosh ML-1C speakers that are brand new in the box from 1977. And in checking them out to make sure they were brand new and not used, I noticed the foam is destroyed from age. The speaker...

    McIntosh ML-1C midrange and tweeter / crossover replacement / repair

    I posted a thread a while back looking for some insight on how to repair a set of McIntosh ML-1C loudspeakers. There wasn't much I could go off so I tried to contact Mr. Russel on the topic but I only got vague responses. Eventually, someone sent a picture of a pair someone else rebuilt. I ended...

    McIntosh ML-1C upper mid range issue

    I recently got a pair of McIntosh ML-1Cs and the upper midrange on one of the monitors creates a nasty buzzing sound around 3k-4k Hz. When I got these speakers I noticed that the sound and found that the upper midrange was pushed. I used the vacuum trick to fix it, hoping it would fix the issue...

    Vintage McIntosh ML-2C Speakers Ported?

    I have noticed there is a possible port plate(?) just under the mid-range driver of my ML-2C speakers. Haven't been able to find any information on this, even on Roger Russell's site. Anyone here know whether the ML series speakers have a porting option? This probably applies to ML-1's &...

    Where to buy a new spider / help evaluate spider? McIntosh 12" Woofer

    I can't find them available outside of full re-cone kits, but where do you buy them alone? The cone and voice coil are fine - just a sagging spider (it's sagging maybe 1/8"?). This is a 12" McIntosh woofer 036-001. Appreciate any tips - thanks! Alternatively, if this looks OK to use as-is...

    Correct woofer for ML-1C speakers

    i recently purchased a very nice pair of subject cabinets. They are missing the 12 inch woofers. In searching the bay I see several different speakers offered as "original, needs refoaming". Some have round magnets, some square. Which is correct for my cabinets?
