Thread: Large and Heavy unknown speaker score.....

well, I gave it a bit of a listen today. One of the woofers I did not remove from the cabinet to refoam, so I wired it up to a mono radioshack PA amp, and started listening. Still have not reglued the dustcaps. In my dining room, which is admittedly not the best acoustics...I was kinda disappointed. The bass is kinda one-notey, altho this is a virgin foam. Also, it was quite overpowering. As to the rest of the freq response, it sounded like...

Don't half ass this! Put the dust caps back on, get em BOTH 100% done. Make sure all HF drivers are at least playing and use a real amp! Also get them out of your dining room, to really get them running. IMO new foam "breaks in" after about 5 minutes. You can do it David

They look like somebodies home brew answer to the Dahlquist DQ-10. The 5 inch mid is a Phillips AD5060 (same as DQ-10 used) the other mids and tweeters also look like early 70's phillips units that have had their front flanges/lenses removed. Interesting design mite sound good...

Leak 2075? Although the woofers don't have foam surrounds, it's possible someone has replaced them as they're not the most robust of drivers.

What, no camera in your phone??

Hopefully not a "large and heavy score"...then again to each their own After I found out that mine was though she got a pair of Dahlquist DQ-8s, a Sansui 5050 receiver and a Kyocera CDP! You really know how to treat a woman ......get on those RS III's

Film at 11....

It's an interesting design. Would be interested to know how they sound after repairs.

that part about large and heavy sounds familiar...

That, combined with the style of magnet back plate, means that it's 99.99% a sure thing that it's Becker......
