Altec 605 8ohm/8ohm Crossover recommendations

I wish I knew what those charts mean…

Yes, I agree ( too many traces to make much sense of the whole ).

I wish I could display phase tracking in a much better format ( that's also intuitive enough to arrive at a " Good // Bad " conclusion for the casual viewer ).

Alas, I don't think that even Jeff Markwart went down that road.

:)

I think you'd be best off contacting Jeff Markwart directly for his opinion ( his contact info is posted at the GPA website ).

His best guess will be better than anyone elses.

My guess is that some form of modified N1500 would be the best way forward.

:)

BTW, unless GPA was involved in supplying parts to you here >> then you're at a real disadvantage in getting something to work properly.

Also, gorgeous cabinets.

I know it is an old thread. I have a question regarding the cabinet purchase. Are these cabinets shipped fully assembled or as a DIY kit? Thanks.

I can't find these exact cabinets for sale anymore... but I'm sure you could write them and ask. They came fully built, stained and poly'd and shipped in two large crates. The store is "Wooddiy" they are on ali express. I see they currently make an altec 816 clone, jbl hartfield clones and tannoy westminster clones in their store. The two latter being very expensive, but 5K isn't all that bad for a pair of westminster cabs shipped when you consider the size and what real ones might set you back. The quality is furniture grade. At Iwistao.com they have the 12" unfinished cabinets like mine, but they're not as big or stained. Wooddiy cut the hole to the size of my driver and also took into account the depth of the driver for the cabinet bracing. I had to modify my mounting hole though for front loading of the altecs because of the speaker frame ribs. I forgot to take that into account when giving them all the info. Hope this helps.

I was in conversation with Iwistao, shipping cost is a bummer!
