Tekton!

I'd like to put my name on 11. I'm hoping someone wants to share. There are two bedrooms and a couple of futons. Must like dogs.

Welcome! I believe I might be helping you expand your inventory. M-1.0t, maybe? Rob's already a goner, but what a way to go...

Velodyne makes very nice subs. So does Rythmik.

He’s a goner.

OK, If we're going down THAT hole, here's the all-time champ:

First- What do you want? Lots of great speakers with different attributes. How loud? What kind of music? Do you like lots of bass or is clarity a goal? Have you heard horns? Ribbons? soft domes? The "right" speaker is very personal.

No.

Not so bad, IMHO.

I didn't make it to :30 before I was grabbing the kill switch. But! (and it's a big but) There are acceptable versions. So I can't change my #1. Good try though.

Post your nominations... worst song, EVER. Mine? Gotta go with Starship...

100 per cent agree with you Mark. VILE. No redeeming quality. None. Like graffiti on Mt Rushmore.

How about this one?

Welcome Cornfarmer! I've fixed several of these. The trouble spots for drop-outs: #1 by far is the output relays. You know it's them if you crank it up and it starts playing fine. Change them no matter what. Next is the TAPE MONITOR switch. You can DeoxIt from underneath. There is a ribbon cable that operates the switch, which is located on the Input Board, remove the bottom cover for easy access. Lastly, Volume and Balance potentiometers, if DeoxIt doesn't fix them, you might need to replace them, they do go bad. As for your tuner issue, there is a variable capacitor on the Tuner "sandwich" behind the display. Use a Sharpie to index it's current setting, give it a few twists with a small screwdriver and return it ti it's original position. Blow it out with one of those computer cleaning cans of air. That cap is available from Circuitsandconcepts, so are output relays. See how far those tips get you.

Welcome! If you want to ship it to NJ, I'd be glad to bring it back to it's former glory! The 900 is a favorite here.

I actually have a Pioneer SF-850, a highly regarded Active Crossover. Just haven't played with it much. Maybe I should recap it and experiment.

What problem are you trying to cure? My experience is that EQ's, DSP's and Active crossovers are fine for PA systems, but tend to destroy things I like in sound reproduction, ie. Imaging, Soundstage and Impact. So, if you wish to use such things, flying in the face of professional speaker designers, what is your goal? What is wrong that you are trying to right? If you just wish to experiment, fine, I get that. Just make sure you do not do anything that can't be reversed inside your speakers. BTW- blown tweeters, mids and woofers are a reality you should expect to deal with. Crossovers protect drivers. Without them, you are on your own to create a protection plan. State your goal, and We can help you proceed.

Really they are "Reproducers", but the early phonograph diaphragm device was called "Reproducers" first. To the integrity of the thread, though, my "buy before I die" speakers are Wilson Alexx's. Love the Robot look. Heard them at Capital Audio Fest. Dreamy.

Better speakers? Actually, when I needed caps for my V-33's, I bought a bunch of Ceiling Fan Caps on eBay. Bi-Polar. Like THESE.

Them's some Bad ass Speakers! What are they???
