Speaker Help...Sort or Skip
I was given these speakers by a friend of a friend.
The were aparentley custom built in the 60's, for a classical musician.
They are amazingly heavy ..at least 75 kg each!
Well braced and pretty well built, bit tatty though.
I had to take the old front cloth off and ditch, they do not have removable Panels on the front.
Anyway they have 2 Bass drivers (only visible when I took the front cloth off, as they have a divided panel
that runs from the bottom to near the top inside and the drivers are fixed to the front baffle)
I think these are KEF B139 Woffers but I'm not sure as i can't get access to the back of them. They seem in tact and not perished.
They have a Compressed Horn Mid and a tweeter that fires upwards..
The Crossover box is a big wood box in each Cab, Goodmans x0.950
I connected them (to a 300b PP Amp) up and all works fine but the bass is lacking and the tops are shrilly!
Thoughts?
Is it worth chucking dosh at this project or skip?
I feel obliged to get them singing..
pictures are on the link below as I am unsure how to embed them on AoS site.
