Phase Linear P-Series Speakers

[xavionics 2,306]

Good morning all.

My brother visited during the Christmas break and we were talking about reviving a pair of Phase Linear P-530 speakers he has. The woofer surrounds dry-rotted years ago and he replaced the woofers with some random crap as he didn't know any better at the time.

I know these are really Pioneer speakers re-badged, but I'm looking for sensitivity specs and probably crossover points as well so I can find a suitable substitute for him.

I've not had much luck in Google land, hoping you folks might be able to help.

Thanks in advance!

http://test.sonyservicemanual.com/search.aspx?brandname=PHASE+LINEAR - Sony service manuals, P530 is near the bottom.

 

It's 20 bucks or so, but it's about the only thing I saw for the manuals, this site has a re-edging kit for them:

If you register, it looks like he has a couple pics of at least the specs, and says he has the repair manual.

 

Not much else comes up on my google-fu.

Thanks! There it was.

Pretty highly regarded from what I've read and what I remember.

Now to find appropriate woofers...
