In Reply to: RE: Horn Drivers & Phragms - Alternatives to Altec? posted by lokie on June 18, 2021 at 03:37:56
Realizing that all generalizations are false*, I am gonna take this opportunity to pile on and say, yeah, there's ample opportunity to improve on any "stock" Altec XO**. ;)
I, too, FWIW, and on the implicit advice of one of the local gurus (i.e., what I inferred that he implied!), moved to first order XOs on my "big Altecs" -- which have slowly become "Frankenaltecs" over the years.---------
* remember, All generalizations are false, including this one! ;)** also remember that The largest room in the world... is the room for improvement. :)
all the best,

Frankenaltecs indeed! bet they sound killer too!!
do you have a rec for a simple and/or affordable alternative to the stock altec xo? would like to keep it two way and in the general neighborhood of the N800-8K crossover points
mine are first order, on the advice/recommendation of a local guru.
[EDIT: as I had said already... derp. sorry!]Now, it's possible that he was pullin' my leg -- but I don't think he was -- and he even lent me some nice oilers to try on the treble drivers, but I'd have to sell a kidney to have gone that route. ;)
all the best,
mrh

L-Pads are great for easy level adjustments.
Ever try the Crites autoformers in your DIY Altec crossover?
The Crites 3636 represents another level of refinement, IME.
