Where are my mids?

It's just a 2-way and crosses at 1500, that's what it will sound like until you add EQ, which IMHO you must. Yeah, this is FOR large rooms.

The crossover circuitry appears to be original and unaltered. These speakers are at least 20 years old. Not sure beyond that. The speakers were sitting unused for about 10 years before I got a hold of them. I was told they stopped using them and were getting rid of them because at high volume they would cut out. That gives me the feeling that they may have been slightly abused because I have never had them cut out on me.


cyclecamper,
I have been looking around at EQs recently, do you have any specific recommendation on a good EQ?

The cutting out may just be the auto-protect kicking in. It resets itself in a few minutes. Reversing tweeter polarity on one driver won't make a big difference as cancellation occurs mostly in the bass but it should be noticeable. If you reverse both tweeters, you probably won't hear any difference unless you know what to listen for. ie: the drop out at the XO point.

I'll stick with post #7 on this one.

Brad, make sure your speakers don't make use of any PolySwitch® PTC device that would be in need of replacing as you mention that was "blown" several times.
Also could be a lamp protecting the horn/tweeter in need of replacing. I don't know your crossover, just helping you.
