Graham from Lincolnshire here, Hello!
This is my seconmd attempt at introducing myself and to ask for advice. The last I tried I was told to register first (I had) and my post was vapourised!
Here's the deal: About 53 years ago I had been 'located' by my employers to a remote part of Saudi Arabia. It was an airbase and was to become, I believe, the highest Lightning Station ever at 6,000 ft. Whilst there I bought an Akai reel to reel tape machine from a colleague. It came with a whole shelf full of 8(?) inch tape reels with recordings that included the sound track of “West Side Srory” I was bowled over, I had never heard such reproduction, it was if the performers were in the room with us” I should say the room was of pre-fab construction, no bricks and mortar. The political situation changed and whilst on UK leave the military contract was ended and I lost my Akai! (I last saw one in the flesh in the Science museum)! In my desire to retrieve a similar audi0 effect I recently went on a long drive to buy a pair of Tannoy Revolution R3's, floor standing, very heavy, speakers.
In some ways I am pleased with them but I find the orchestral bass parts seem distant and quiet, they are certainly not in the room! I am on limited budget but I feel I can get more out of these speakers. Investigations inside indicate that the drivers seem fine mechanically. The speakers cases proclaim they are made in Hungary. Interesting. So looking at the crossover circuit. It is labelled: Elytone 1999 L46.. It looks, to me anyway, that there are a couple of dielectric capacitors and one larger film rype. There is only one choke and that has a ferrite core (thought that wasn't a good idea)? The whole circuit is fitted to the back of the terminal 'block, As there is a tweeter and two further drivers I would expect to see three chokes? Can a way ahead for me be advised please? I can change components myself. Also I was hoping to see a concentric driver but not so.
Thanks for any help on this.
