peerless

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...

Good morning/afternoon/evening, Is there anyone here who might still have old Peerless driver datasheets stored on a trusty Commodore 64 floppy disks? I’m looking for the datasheets for the following drivers: Tweeter: PH 25, 8 ohm Midrange: PM 115, 8 ohm Woofer: 831801, 8 ohm I recently...

Hello. I noticed a new member in here also from Portland Oregon. Hello I am from Portland Oregon and have my dad‘s old Quadphonic 4-way 10 speaker High-Fi and some other components. None of the electronics have been powered up in the last 21 or more years now although the loudspeakers and...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello, First post here, but regular reader ;) i got a set of 2 x input and 2 x output transformers that i pulled from a working Westrex cinema PA tube amp ( it was impossible to keep it and restore it... ). They seem to be Peerless / Altec Lansing corp. Transformers, with references : T-101...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello, i just got those two peerless speakers from my father when he was young Those are two way sperakers with i think a homemade cabinet I can't find any informations on intenet so i came here :D So there is one speaker that is totally unfunctionnal (exept the crossover), the tweeter is not...

Hello all, I have just acquired a pair of used NHT 2.5. I need to check the drivers and the crossover components to make sure they all work correctly... Is there any specific test or methodology to do this correctly? I know I can just plug them in and see how they sound... but being an older...

Polk Monitor 5A Peerless
