I've had a blow out

<< < (3/3)

Jack: thanks for the info
Robin: I looked everywhere but Ebay. Wouldn't go used but
the 7-212-32HEX will fit and are new. I'm thinkin about that.
Main problem is the 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 month delivery.
Thinking also about 25 Yr old technology vs new now. Will see
what's out there compared to the old faithfuls. Just not sure if I'm
the bookshelf sub kind a guy. Been quite a while since I've been out
here on the playing field.
Keep the comments coming though, greatly appreciated.

This is a very good alternative especially for the price which includes the extremely heavy stands.  Sub not really needed at least in either of the rooms I played them in. They are large Harbeth 40 sized speakers. And with MD you have the 60 day return window.

Remember, just because a driver will physically fit does not in any way mean they will be plug and play.  More than likely there will be crossover modifications necessary.  Without proper measurement gear and access to parts to tweak the driver you will be in for along tough haul.  Differences of tenths of a dB cause a lot of voicing issues.  Even drivers of the same type produced in the same run are usually measured for differences in parameters by manufacturers to produce closely matched pairs to insure side to side SQ matching and image coherency.

The spec sheet listed in the eBay ad is NOT for the S2 variant. I'm sure the spec between the -32 and the -S2 are very different due to the different one materials and the SQ between the Grey Hexacone and the yellow cone will cause all kinds of image problems.

It ain't like falling off of a log!

Well, that was enlightening.
I am going to try out the Fyne F502 when Ember Audio gets it in.
Once I've got something in the house I'll take the mids out of the Classics
and see if they can be repaired. If so I'll stick them in an office system or see
if someone else would like them. I did hear a pair of Dynaudio bookshelf that
blew me away. Should have for 35 hundred. That's just more than I want to pay.
