Possible - sure. However, Speakers are ALWAYS a trade-off. you give up something to get something else. For instance, I don't think you'll hear a clearer, smoother sound than a good electrostatic speaker produces, but they lack dynamics. Listening to Norah Jones at a modest volume level and she...

Honestly, the best method of upgrading an L200 isn't to just add a Tweeter. That may sound like bs, but while the compression driver is a great driver, the horn used on the mid/Tweeter is at least 60 year old technology. A much better choice would be to add a modern wide dispersion constant...

Well, they aren't "vintage". To me, they look like a bass cabinet with a modern horn enclosure up top... DIY I'd guess. Can you say Econo-Wave?

The concept of a two way with a 15" (or good 12") and medium size horn with good driver is a great combination that punches way above its pay grade. Take a look at some of the better Zilch Econo-wave projects, Wayne Parham's Pi Speakers, JBL's 4430/4435 series or TAD studio monitors (and many...

Hey Mark (Ski), I still have them. I replaced the woofers with a special JBL frankenwoofers that @GordonW built. The Focal tweeter and midrange are probably worth the cost of the Heathkits.. (I saw them listed too..). I think they sound fantastic. Honestly, I think in their final configuration...

Kwingylee: I have owned a wide array of speakers from JBL 250Ti/4430/4425/4315, B&W, KLH Nines, Yamaha NS1000, Martin Logan Odyssey, etc. etc.. However, for several years now, my main system has been a 2 way with Acoustic Elegance Lambda TD-15X drivers, JBL 2445 with Truextent diaphragms on a...

Not sure what the sovereign name means. I had a pair of monitor 1000.. I thought they sounded pretty good, but I didn't feel they were keepers imo. I could not find much info or interest in them, so I sold the drivers and I moved on. However, now I am wondering if there was something wrong with...

I'd jump on the L200t3, but would enjoy either.

Kent nailed it. If you fly often or want good noise cancellation, Bose are great and they do sound good. Maybe not state of the art, but good. I fly often and own QC-25 and QC-30..Either are really great for that purpose. For long flights, the QC25/35 are more comfortable than the in ear QC20 or...

Of course, it depends upon the room. Orange is really cool in a Mid Century Modern room, but Blue is safer for more rooms.. One can always spray paint, them as desired. I have two pair that I would like to get the square cut foam for.. Who sells the best foam inserts?

Across the net, I met a widow with a pair of speakers for sale that her recently deceased husband owned. I will likely purchase the speakers. However, in talking with her, she has a B&O 6002 that lights up but the platter is not spinning. She would like to get it working. Does anyone know a...

Good luck with the Quads and the KLH Nines. Both very worthy projects.

Crestwood23, Were you able to get the power supplies rebuilt?

WMassGasMan, from experience, I have 6 pair of KLH Nines, I can tell you they like some muscle. It is also common for their tweeter panels to fail. Further, there is a diode ladder in the potted power supplies that age and should likely be replaced. However, when fully working correctly, they...
