philips... I Like

Hi all,


I also got a lot of Philips drivers.

A lot of people in the Netherlands who start in DIY audio use them. They're cheap and can be found in secondhand stores for a dime (ok, lately the dime grows bigger but that goes for everything, not only for vintage audio)

Over the years, I obtained some AD9710's, AD1265's, AD1065's, AD1260/M800's, AD5780/M800's.......

My main system is using a pair of AD3800AM´s

These are 800ohm drivers,
and I drive them with Philips HF303 sepp otl monoblocks. (2x EL84 / 10W each)

Made a pair of fullsize (2,44meters high) Voigt pipes (TQWP),
and just LOVE the combination

Even friends who own much more expensive / exotic gear give me full praise 'bout my sounds


There is certainly a lot of fun in old Philips drivers.

They're efficient and with the right enclosure and damping,
they can sound at least 10 times their value
