Anybody? Comb filtering? If so, will the new tweeter arrangement help?

Hole in the Middle

Hi, I've got a recently restored pair of OA-14's. They are totally original with the bass drivers replaced with the Peerless original manufacturer replacement driver. If I sit dead center between the speakers the imaging goes funny. The instruments and voices loose their image specificity. That is, ...

Re: OA-14 Questions

Bob, Glad to hear that you got the woofers restored.  Having just done it a couple weeks ago myself I echo your statements about the sound.  Wow! I had forgotten just how great these speakers sounded.  I went for about 10 years with speakerlab woofers in them because I didn't know where to get the ...

Re: OA-14 Questions

Greetings, Madisound has confirmed the drivers are 8 ohm, and I installed them on Friday. I've maybe 20 hours on them now, and they are starting to loosen up and play a little bass. Wasnt sure I beleived that surrounds needed to break in, but this weekends experience leads me to beleive the stories...

Re: OA-14 Questions

This restoration has not been easy. Peerless is marking the drivers incorrectly, and I am having trouble finding a web translator that will let me read the Swedish in the suggested posts. Anybody have a link to a good free website translator - Swedish to English? Please? I cant wait to see what Madi...

Re: OA-14 Questions

Jorgen,
I have nothing to measure with. I've sent an email to Madisound and we'll see what happens. It does appear to be a paper driver with a rubber surround.

Bob.

Re: OA-14 Questions

Hi,
I received my 831881 Peerless drivers from Madisound today. They are marked with a line that reads "Z 4" followed by an upside down U. Does this indicate a 4 ohm driver? I sincerely hope not...

Re: OA-14 Questions

Thank you gentlemen. I'm not in a big hurry. Besides, if there's a problem, it will be easier to deal with Madisound here in the US. I'm very glad to hear the price is reasonable as well!!

Thanks again,
Bob B.

Re: OA-14 Questions

here's my response from Madisound:

Bob,

Apparently we can get the 831881 woofer. The cost is 43.00 and will take about 30 days to get it from Denmark. Shall we order it for you?

Hope it helps!
