medium jim - the 2.7 opp is from an email exchange with Peter Gunn - he does something to them which apparently makes them sing.Guys, I made an offer on these Acoustat Spectra's on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181014036842?ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1432.l2649I offered quite a bit lower than the asking price. We'll see...
Thanks for the observation, medium jim. I think PB combines 2 of the 3 sections, wiring them together to make the 2.7 a 2-way. I can make hardwood frames for them.The eBay seller countered with free shipping, which according to the calculator, would be $279. I won't counter. I think I'd prefer Maggie 2.7's (at least that's my thinking today).And no, I don't want your eBay moniker
Jim, PB didn't tell me the 2.7's are 3 panels. Here is what he said:The 2.7 has 3 drivers (sections): regular midbass, a mid which uses the old tweeter wire and a tweeter which uses the new QR foil.He said there's no need to have a separate mid, so he joins it back into the QR foil section to make a single tweeter (which is composed of 2 different materials as a result).Doing that reduces the speaker back to 2 drivers so it can utilize his XO (which I think is a series XO).
Guys, I don't understand your code Ouch's.
It is obvious that what pg is trying to sell you have been altered to three panels.
PG is not trying to sell me a pair - he was just telling how he modded a pair to him they really improved and were very special.It appears that this 2-panel 3-way model 2.7 was short-lived - maybe because it was so close in performance to the higher-priced 3 series?Looks like you guys would recommend a 1.6 over the 2.7. Then the series crossover with primo components. As always, thanks for your continued input
