In Reply to: Should I get my Tympani I-Ds rebuilt? posted by Boulder Bob on August 31, 2016 at 15:08:40:
2 sets of T-1Ds have been re-wired here in Oz, recently (all 6 panels):* the first set were re-wired with the same wire Magnepan used. The driver panels were then installed in hardwood frames, with braced stands. The result is sensational - although they are in a small room (which you wouldn't think could 'work'), the resulting sound is the culmination of an idea the owner has held onto for 30 years, after hearing a pair of Tymps at a dealer.
* the second pair had the 4x bass panels re-wired using quasi ribbon - with the tweeter panels being re-wired with round-wire. Again, they are now in hardwood frames, with braced stands. What is extremely interesting is that the owner had the chance to compare T-1Ds with round-wire bass panels against his quasi-ribbon bass panels ... the quasi-ribbon produces a significant improvement in bass dynamics! :-))
For both of these guys, the next step is to go active.
Regards,Andy
