Hello from Hartland, Wisconsin

BuckeyB · 15th February 2010, 07:45 PM

Hello all from Hartland, Wisconsin. I found this web site from trying to get rebuilding information on the ESS speakers. I've been a real fan since 1976 when I purchased (and still own) a pair of ESS monitors. Recently I've been able to pick up a pair of AMT10b's but they are in rough shape. The Heils are OK but the drivers and passives are gone so I can't get them rebuilt. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The 10b's use a 10" driver but a 12" passive I believe. Thanks to all and I'm looking forward to learn more on this forum.

Welcome to the forum.

Seems to be a pretty common state for these. Cabinets should be rebuilt as well. We redid 2 sets of these, each customer had different goals.

AMT 1 drivers, + added eminence beta midrange + crossover

Bipolar fostex 9" mid-basses + Heil ribbon, simple 1st order XO

Hello Bucky and welcome to the forums. Don't be afraid. The ugly guy in the photos is not planet10. He's much better looking than that.

Cheers.
