Folks,
Does anybody know either the original name/specification of these units OR something that is a good or better replacement for them ?
I picked up a cheap pair of Dynatron speakers (LS4038), which as far as I can tell are really Dovedales in Dynatron boxes.
The guy I bought them from replaced the midrange drivers because one was kaput. I have the working one and wanted to see what the 'original' sound was like.
Presently they come across as a bit harsh and was hoping a change may tone that down a little.
These are just an experiment, as I have spent a bit this year on other items and holding off getting something better until next year.
Amazingly they have revealed one fact about my system, which I have mentioned on here previously - which has always been my lack of bass. It seems that my B&W DM2s must be the culprit. The big 12" bass drivers have delivered the depth I've been missing.
At some point I also intend to tinker with the DM2s to see if I can resurrect their bass (which I am sure they would be capable of delivering).
On both speakers I may investigate the crossovers which I guess are likely to be original. I wouldn't attempt the work myself and know a local electronic engineer who has done a few jobs which have been good.
Something for the winter evenings !
