I need replacements however I really don't want to buy used or       re-cone. Reconing seems to be just as expensive as new speakers and I have       yet to find recone kits        so I can do it myself. For some reason this topic is "taboo" and no one has       been able to give me any suggestions....the reason why I joined this group;       there seems to be a wealth of knowledge here. I've been told to stay with the       factory speakers and        that others won't work...I have a hard time believing this.        >        > I have three questions: 1) Can someone recommend new speakers as       replacements to the existing LPC-480 speakers? 2) If no one has       recommendations, does anyone by chance know the impedance and manufacturer of       the following based on the serial numbers; (       tweeter: 488811-5), (midrange: 488814-5), (woofer: 488810-4)? Currently the       speakers are connected to TB-103/TB-104 on the amplifier which I think are low       impedance. 3) If anyone knows where I can buy a reconing kit, I'd be willing       to give this a try.        >        > Ideally I'd like to replace them with aftermarket speakers for two reasons;       they won't be seen and I believe new speakers would sound better based on       today's new materials. Any help would be greatly appreciated!              If you want exact replacement speakers the best you can do is to get them from       another LPC 480 or LPC 1. Jukeboxparts.com may have some. If you want the       cost effective way out, get a pair of 12 inch woofers with a power handling       capacity of 50 Watts RMS        or higher , 8 ohm, and they should suffice. The LPC series never had that       great of a sound to begin with. Make sure you wire the bass speakers " in       phase " with each other.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
