Re: "Upgrading" OA-14 towards OA-116 !?
Over one year later. ... here's what I did : 1. I left the OA-14 on either side of my fireplace as per the photo in my post dated 22 August 2017; 2. I disconnected my subwoofer; 3. I then placed the OA-12 in the corners of the room on either side of the OA-14 (the OA-12 are right in the corners beh...

Re: OA 116 reno + tweeters
Interesting project, Ali (& great photos from JanA) ! My Sonab progression over the last 18 months or so has been OD-11>OA-12>OA-14, all of which I still own. I'd like some OA-116, but have yet to find a good pair within a day's return drive from Amsterdam (the main source seems to be Denmark an...

Re: Sonab Cambridge P50 - obalanserad utsignal
There has been a recent thread at PFM about a P60, which followed the P50 (without any Sonab branding) : http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=205072). This page has quite a lot of information about the P series amps, including circuit diagrams : http://www.angelfire.com/sd/paulkemble/...

Re: "Upgrading" OA-14 towards OA-116 !?
Thank-you, STDI!
Do you by any chance know with what material the SC165 driver has been doped, please - the Visaton liquid, or even the very exotic C37 ?

Is this the so-called Y-configuration http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb472183/Bilde ... ierung.JPG and is there a general consensus that it is indeed an improvement (assuming new OA-T22-II tweeters) ?

Good evening. Is this the so-called Y-configuration http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb472183/Bilder/teknik/Diskantplatzierung.JPG and is there a general consensus that it is indeed an improvement (assuming new OA-T22-II tweeters) ... OR, might it be better to configure "OA-12 style" with just two...

Re: "Upgrading" OA-14 towards OA-116 !?
Did a lot of listening last night & my OA-12 are better - at least in mid-range and treble performance - than the OA-14. I attribute this to the state of the drivers. As I examine the OA-14 cabinets, I wonder if a restoration based on the principles that were valid in the 1970s is truly appropri...

Re: "Upgrading" OA-14 towards OA-116 !?
The OA-14 are now installed and singing... with the help of a sub (sub #2 requiring amplifier repair before introduction) : IMG_3015.JPG In some ways better than the OA-12, but in others slightly less so.... and my guess is that this is because I am dealing with two very old ladies (the loudspeakers...

Re: "Upgrading" OA-14 towards OA-116 !?
I also think the big fire place between the speakers will have a (negative?) influence on the sound. It does indeed and conventional speakers need to be pulled out so that the imaging is not affected. I will experiment with the OA-14... I tried the OA-12 quite close to the fireplace with the Left a...
