Best regards Reza. IG81 Member. As far as enclosures go, here's a whole bunch to choose from: Applications Philips m. IG81 said:. Click to expand JPG I wonder how its HF sounds subjectively. I thought they were OK back then, certainly better than the cheap whizzer loaded alternatives, but then there wasn't much true HF on vinyl and normally listened to off axis whether seated or moving around.
Still, I used a 2. DIYers have discovered Fostex drivers which are not cheap but some of their mid-priced models are affordable and represent good value for the money. Another complicating factor is the size of vintage horn systems. Aficonados have also discovered old German radios and consoles from Telefunken, Saba and Siemens.
Vintage Japanese speaker units are just beginning to be appreciated. Prices at eBay for desireable Pioneer and Coral, full range, coaxial and triaxial units are starting to rise due to collectors and SE amp users realizing their merits. Look for old stereo consoles or table top radios and even early solid state models.
The logic behind this is, power was at a premium in those days and for mass market consumption, manufacturers used efficient drivers to fill the living room with sound from amps with less than 10wpc. Likewise some of the speakers [plywood cabinets usually indicate good drivers inside] that were sold along with compact stereo systems are good candidates for SE amp use.
In my opinion, some units like the SK98, is on par or better than some of their Altec or Jensen counterparts. The others are good alternatives to mid-priced Fostex drivers which can be acquired cheaply at thrift stores. The following drivers are no longer easy to find especially the alnico models, but the ceramic versions sound good too. These still come up at thrift stores or maybe sitting in the basement or attic of an older relative. This list is notcomprehensive, it is just a guide for those of you who like rummaging through yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores.
This is the predecessor of the PE16M re-issue. Mechanical "2-way", perhaps a Japanese interpretation of the Altec "Bi-Flex"? MJ issue no. Introduced in Found inside a pair of Sony speakers originally sold with a compact system at department stores. Same story as the Sony above, but these came from Panasonic branded boxes. Another Panasonic but bigger magnet, 16 ohm voice coil and a whizzer cone. Sonic Impressions - The PIM16 is probably the best of this bunch, it has slightly less bass response than a DiatonePMB but the midrange is more 3 dimensional and has a smoother top end.
The Panasonic RAS16PO2 above is also pretty good, although one can hear a slightly grainier midrange and top end, perhaps due to the ceramic magnet. The Sony and other Panasonic are decent too but not in the same league as the latter two. I use these drivers in a recycled Coral cabinet - I modified this into a bass reflex by replacing the front baffle and back cover with a 1.

I use them as rear surrounds but they are also ideal SE friendly mini-monitors for those who live in small apartments or dormitories. I have tried them also in open baffles , but given the foot print of the baffles and the frequency range of a 6" driver, I don't deem it practical since a decent 8" can give better bass extension. Lafayette SK98, the catalog list the following specs: freq.
I'm almost sure these were Pioneer OEM units. Voice coil impedance is 16 ohms. These 8" drivers are pretty damn good sounding, Perhaps these are Japan's answer to the Altec I rate them as the equal of a C or E with a slightly lightweight presentation.
Lafayette SK58 12" driver with a co-ax mounted 3" cone tweeter. I modified the crossover slightly to get rid of the slight upper midrange harshness by adding another 4uf cap in series with the stock 4uf paper in oil can type. I use it as a super tweeter [x'over above 7khz] and this unit sounds sweet, silky and extended highs.
Better than the Fostex FT17H in my opinion. Not quite as good as an Altec but quite close.
