Good Evening everyone. So am piecing together a rebuild of some speakers for me to use and listen to from my dad years ago. It’s the Sansui SP-100’s. So I have a few drivers I can use but, didn’t know if switching out the 5” inch sealed Midranges (or squawker’s it’s called on the crossovers)for midrange domes is with it? They are crossover at 1,000 Hz and play to 5,000 Hz. So Am rebuilding the speaker from the ground up. It will take some time but, that’s okay. Am looking at the end of the completed project and what I want it to sound like now. So here are some Brands and the model numbers am looking at?
1. Ciare HM-130 (It’s a 5 inch sealed midrange). $100.00 each with tax and shipping to my door. I have to order it through the company only.
2. Visaton MR 130 (It’s a 5” inch sealed midrange). $25.30 each plus shipping and handling through Parts Express.
3. The you have GRS and Gold wood and Pyle speakers. All have sealed 5” inch midrange drivers.
I could buy a nice 5 inch midrange woofer and put it in a sealed container that Eminence has model number ISO5-5 at parts express for $14.99 each. I would stuff it with acoustic stuffing.
Here are some other suggestions or ideas? Dome midranges or full-range speaker drivers?
I will be playing a lot of old theatre radio and listening to some music and maybe tv shows through them but, not sure. 🤔. Pleased let me know your thoughts or suggestions on this topic. Speakers are over 50 years old and drivers are old and crackly sounding. I replaced the blown tweeters with cheap piezo tweeters and will go back to the horn ones with this new rebuild . Thanks for anyone’s input and help. Jeff
