Stereo Shit
 

I just put in a whole new rig in my room. Not quite finished as I'm still rolling carts, but it sure beat work today.

Cool!

.....

I thought stereo shit is what happens when you have the flu?:rolleyes:

The evolution of words.

Cher was asked her take on Reagan after she was introduce to him.

She replied: "He seems to have his shit together." :D

Wish I was able to just mess with stereo $hit today. Still have other estate issues to keep me busy for awhile. Audio is on the back burner for now. Haven't even been looking for what is out there local. :mad:


Barney

Pics?

Dave

Yeah, pics Jay.

I found some Altec Lansing Santana IIs for $54


I guess the cold war liberal gods were rewarding me for steadfastness

Damn some real cabinets!

Congrats Ice!

thanks......I just hate the idea of refoaming but I guess it has to be done...I did not want to rub it in about the cassette deck I found yesterday...a JVC-KD-VR320....

I had a pair of the original Santana's back in the early 70's. Absolutely no top end whatsoever, except when coupled with a device I also bought which the salesman called an "energizer"...apparently some sort of dynamic processor I've never seen before or since. With that they sounded pretty good.

They were tough. For awhile, I had 'em stacked with my buddy's Pioneer R700's, and we sent the Pioneer's back to the shop a couple of times blowing smoke, while the Altec's just kept belting it out.

Overall, I think the R700's were better speakers soundwise.

Chas

Never heard them, but always thought they'd be bass heavy with that huge woofer and the tiny, paper tweet. But, get a nice supertweet to set on top and you might have something great.

Dave

No envy here, quite happy with this rig.

Nice, looks like those were designed for classical.
Hmm, looks like a 5 in hole there, put one of my pair of 375's in there, refoam the bass, and then produce nice music for your entire neighborhood to enjoy. :D


Carl

Thanks for the input everyone....that is nice system Merrylander....I have a 701 Pioneer at work right now it is a great deck.

I am having buyers remorse this morning since from what Charles and others have said they do not seem to be the best Altecs....I am taking a bunch of audio stuff to the SA if I find the receipt I might return them I have 7 days...

Carl what is a 375 a tweeter? are you talking about the tweeter dimensions or the bass port?

Robbin

They are JBL's that are more like a midrange.

Carl

Wow....

I just might see if my RSL 3600 woofers will fit...since they are designed for a ported system (l100 clone)
they might work....and I have some Philip Soft dome tweeters too....nothing else going on this weekend.

Get the T/S parameters of the speaker and you'll be on the right track

Well, they aren't 19's, but they're still worth what you paid for them.

I had the 1st model Santana without the vent & adjustable crossover. They also had the 15" bi flex woofer. The tweeters should have been used in a Short-o-matic transistor radio.

Chas

Dude, don't take them back. Refoam, recap those bad boys and mod them. Add a nice supertweeter.

Dave

I second the motion.

For around a hunnert bucks you'll have a pretty decent test bed.

Hunnert bucks don't get ya too far any more.

Chas

Hell yes even with my lousy eyesight and arthric hands I would not let them go.

Dave when you add a supertweeter are you bi-wiring it from the amps or actually putting it in the crossover somewhere?

I did not take them back.......I will play with them for a bit and order some foam surrounds...
if the RSL woofers fit I will use those just to see how they sound. But it is really hot today...
might not get around to it...

Most true.....I have just told my wife that I have them in the garage and I am recovering from that......

I just could not leave any ALtecs a the thrift.....sometimes the rotten foam will scare the casual shoppers and leave it for us hard core addicts lol....

Stay cool, bro. It's going to be a brutal one where you are, over 110 degrees:eek:. I would've grabbed 'em.;)

I will Bob....maybe I will hit the SA again lol:eek:
that Model 19 or KLH Model Nine has to be there somewhere lol:D

Good hunting to ya. You oughta consider heading down to Costa Misery;) to escape the heat, we're a good twenty degrees cooler here. Eric Burdon and the Animals are playin' at the big 60th anniversary shindig down here in front of city hall, across from the Orange County Fairgrounds. There'll be three different stages and a huge street fair. A big fireworks display is scheduled for tonight. Come on down, the beer's on me.:)

They usually come with about a ~1pf capacitor inside for a high pass of about 10,000hz and you simply piggyback them at the speakers terminals.

Dave

Oh i have to get my wife from work later on but thanks! That sounds like a good time Bob.....

I have got his latest cd...

Would your wife consider taking a cab?:D

A used bicycle would be cheaper...and make a GREAT birthday present.

Unless she'd rather have a new varmint rifle.

Chas

110.....why that just a normal day bobby. 90 here already and heading to 115+ again.....wooohooooo

Wouldn't trade it for a 90 degree day in Misser...er Missouri......;)

Here in the Derby right now, it is in the 70*'s on and off rain and sun shine. Nice for almost July!




Barney

Well, live it up buddy.

It's currently 73 degrees and slightly overcast here in central Missery.

It's just the cross I'll have to bear.

Chas

I suspect the trial will be more about race than the crime was.

Sorry, looks like I accidentally posted this to the wrong thread.

How did we go from stereO Schiit to super tweeter, weather and now Zimmer dude.
Must be the heat :D...frigging hot here in the east and south bay, 100+.

Dude those cost 3000 bucks!
I think you have the best gear on this server lol:)

Nah, they can't be worth that much.
