I've noticed a few Super 3 "narrows" for sale and was wondering if I could buy the correct length port tube from Louis would any other internal mods need to be done?

[kbuzz3]

not selling mine.....

Wasnt aware of others selling either. Where are they for sale. Agon?

Why dont you just drop Louis a note ....

Hi albee,

Thanks and no problem at all. The tubes are just 0.5" longer. The drivers work better in the deeper cabinet.

Hi kbuzz3,

Thanks and I guess they haven't found the magic like you did.

Thanks again,
Louis

And there is a pair on Audiogon for $600. That's barely more than the cost of the drivers.

Not to mention, shipping is included! (on the A-gon deal, not mine:)
That's a sweet deal.

I AM THE NEW PROUD OWNER OF THE SUPER 3 ALNICO, YOU ARE CORRECT $600 IS A SUPER STEAL FOR THESE. THESE ARE MY FIRST PAIR OF SINGLE POINT SOURCE TYPES, AND AFTER OWNIG 30 PAIR OF SPEAKERS FROM THE MAJOR BRANDS, I HAVE TO SAY THAT VOCAL ON THESE SPEAKERS IS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN ANYTHING OUT THERE. THE SOUND WAS ABSOULTELY AS IF THE SINGER WAS IN THE ROOM . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. NOT SURE IF THE PAIR IS FULLY BROKEN IN OR NOT

Hi Bill,

Great news and welcome to single drivers. The alnico is a great speaker and if they were sitting around for a while they will get better with use.

Thanks again,
Louis

Can the F200a Alnico be put into a Grande 8R enclosure without issue? I know that the Alnico drivers worked properly only in the deeper enclosures, so can the Alnico be dropped into the 8R as it could with the narrow 3R?

[Louis O]

Unfortunately it won't work. The cabinet needs to be a lot larger. Believe it or not the F200A works the great in an OB.

Thanks,
Louis
