    Mike LaFevre and the Peerless/Acrosound IP

    Several years ago, transformer guru Mike LaFevre passed away. If you didn't know, he was the owner of all of the intellectual property of Dynaco, Acrosound, and Peerless transformers and apparently knew the "secret sauce" on how to wind all of them (including some Western transformers like the...

    Ste-Ma type 500, what a nice piece of furniture!

    I picked up these last week for 20€, just because they looked so nice, and the cabinetry is remarkable though some design choices may prevent them from reaching their full potential. As far as I have been able to find out these are Peerless kit 3-15 with a slightly different crossover and...

    Allen Organ driver group on model HC 12 speakers

    Hey guys I bought some Allan organ HC 12 speakers for 16 bucks and am thinking about the driver complement. Who can tell me to make and model number of the drivers here? I think the tweeters are peerless 292-041, the mid-ranges are peerless 292-0040 and the woofers are eminence 292-0030. Are...

    Peerless 8-Track Receiver Weak Phono Output

    I'm repairing a junk Peerless HSP-25A 8-track reciever so I can learn about these old systems and have run into a strange (to me) problem. The AM and FM sections now work great, as does the 8-track, but the phono inputs on the back produce very low output. Looking through the schematic...

    Is this an original ESS Transtatic I crossover?

    Hello all, Just purchased a pair of ESS Transtatic I's. They are the most amazing speakers I've ever heard. Someone replaced the original tweeters with some Peerless tweeters. It looks like they kept the Kef racetrack woofers and mid-ranges. There is no wall cord and some of the ones I have seen...

    Snell Type K/II - Which Woofers do I Have and What Surrounds do I Need?

    Picked up a pair of Snell Type K/II today. The foams are shot. I've done some research on these and it looks like most used woofers from either Vifa or Peerless, but there are also mentions of SEAS and Boston Acoustics woofers being used. I removed one of the woofers, expecting to see some...

    Peerless Polk Monitor 5 Worth It?

    I found this pair of what appear to be Polk Monitor 5s (maybe 7s?) with the Peerless tweeters. I asked the seller if I could come look at them. The surround on the passive radiator doesn't look good in the picture and I wanted to see the other speaker, plus check out the tweeter and back...

    Help me decide

    Hi all, I've been doing a lot of reading on here but this is my first post. I'm due for a speaker upgrade and I'm struggling to make a call on which direction to head. It's going in a wide living room 8m (26.6t) wide/left-right and 4m (13.3ft) from back wall where the couch is to the wall...

    Polk Monitor 7C Help

    I know there are a ton of threads about these speakers but I picked up a pair the other day and I've got a question about the tweeters. These, as pictured, have silver tweeters that I haven't seen online. They look like peerless tweeters but all the ones I've seen are black, and didn't...

    Peerless cone tweeter sag

    Hi all - I've got a couple of vintage Peerless cone tweeters my speakers that distort at certain frequencies (most obvious in higher piano notes). Some of the tweeters distort, but not others, so I'm thinking it has to do with the driver(s) in question itself and not the crossover. I know that...

    Replacing 1 1/2 inch soft dome midrange on Quantum 3

    I have a pair of Infinity Quantum 3s. Both of the midranges have broken tinsels. I am more inclined to replace them than to fix them or to $end them out for repair$$. I am recapping the crossovers. I had the Watkin woofers refoamed long ago. What is a good near-equivalent speaker that...

    Bought custom speakers... JBL D123 + Peerless

    Last weekend I responded to an ad for a 2010 "Baby" Marantz (10 watts per channel). I met up with a dear elderly couple that was downsizing. When I show up and the Marantz 2010 is filling the room with beautiful classical music. I look at the volume knob and it is at the 8 o'clock position...
