I bought a couple of single ended valve amps a while ago, which came with some high efficiency speakers, mounted in some terribly boomy 60s/70s cabinets.
Having spent a little time looking at options, I'm quite keen on building some Frugel Horn Mk3s to rehouse them, and I'm wondering if there are any considerations if using drivers with elliptical cones.
The pair I have are vintage Rolas, which are marked 'LX' on the back of the magnet, and '27H5' on the chassis. Kinda hard finding information on these online, and apart from a scanned copy of an old Rola catalogue, I've found basically nothing, not even any pics/images of what I have. The closest thing in the catalogue is what is referred to as a '6-9H' although what I have is different, having a 5x7" cone (presuming that's what's meant by the numbers in their catalogue)
They have whizzers, sorry no pic of the fronts of the drivers, I took some a while ago, but I can't find where I stored the images, and I can't be bothered taking them out again simply to add that to the post.
I'm guessing what would make most sense is to mount them vertically in the cabinets, but I'm open to suggestions...
Thanks in advance for any input!
