In Reply to: (Altec) 604 - Field Coil Version e.g. by Wolf von Langa- experiences? posted by baja on January 2, 2016 at 11:14:19:
a couple of years ago running in a Shindo-style cabinet with some crossover with huge oil caps that Wolf recommended, IIRC. The speakers were not dialed in, but driver quality was evident.Modern 604s - probably including Wolf's - are fine drivers, but implementation is critical; crossover and cabinet are tricky. The challenge with Wolf's speakers, which have adjustable parameters that may not at any voltage match permanent magnet versions, is cabinet and crossover design - the things that make or break the drivers. The converse argument that the adjustable parameters makes cabinet matching easier does not sit well with me... and that has not been my (limited) experience.
Moreover, while I liked the system running Wolf's drivers, I prefer the sound of my system that runs the permanent magnets. But remeber the speakers were not dialed in and we are talking systems, not drivers... I can't reduce my experiences to the point I can describe Wolf's 604s in detail.
Best of fortune in your journey.
Cheers,
91.
