![]() I always exchanged components for components of equal values (Basically the most expensive option from Dayton Audio, which is borderline snake oil, but not there yet) The 3rd-order KEF designs that I know about are 2-way designs, so no surprise that a Google image search for '3 way crossover design' failed to turn up a result - no idea what you're hoping for with that.I have been 'renovating' a pair of Sansui SP 1700 that my grandparent gave me to me few years ago, they were made in 1973 so pretty 'antique' even in the vintage audio niche.Įverything I replaced, I did it per speaker so i can hear the difference as i progress. Obviously there is a massive difference in price between retail and business-to-business. Again just a personal rant, but there was a time in the 70s when you could compare output ratings between Marantz, Sansui, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc and be reasonable secure knowing that one was comparing apples to apples rather then apple watts to helium filled balloon watts. Most 5-channel amps when reading their rear nameplate data state maximum AC power input that can't come close to matching their 'rated' audio output power units if all 5 channels could output such at the same time, so they must have discovered 'over unity' power for audio amp output ratings. Now I don't know if the FTC regulations just expired or if the law as written doesn't apply to the 'home theater' industry but when 5-channel stuff started coming out we once again started seeing bogus wattage units used once again. ![]() Only true RMS units, sine-wave driven and other conditions stated for frequency bandwidth, both channels driven, preheat requirement, etc. The FTC then came up with some consumer advertising laws covering the consumer stereo market. ![]()
