New old speakers

Posted by Michael Dale on Sun, 17 Apr 2005 8:18 PM

I drove up to the Blue Mountains yesterday (I clocked up 165km) to help clean up my grandmother’s place.

In the process of cleaning I scored myself a set of old (but large) speakers. Why are all old speakers so big? I also got some Hitachi Amp with a built in radio, cool.

Anyway, these speakers have two tweeters, one mid range and one low range.

While I was giving them a test I noticed that the base felt much separated from the voice, compared to my current speakers. I feel this is mainly because my other smaller speakers only have one tweeter and one "everything else" speaker.

So they need to provide a lot of the lower end sound that would otherwise be taken care of the mid range speaker.

I'm not sure if I like the sound of the bigger speakers as much. Although I haven't had a real chance to play with them. I have a better amp I need to try, plus some different music.

They're pretty old so I'm not expecting much. But hey they will be _very_ useful in the future (more on that later).

But yeah. Free stuff is cool.
