They were suppose to be because they were good.
Those are ESS AMT 1 monitors, the same units set next to mine for demonstration. They used the same large AMT unit that my custom built unis did but no other the common parts. The AMT 1 monitors had much smaller cabinets, 12' woofer an 10' rear passive radiator. and 2-waycrossover with high cut. T They were very good sounding speakers, If you cut the high end some to kinda let the bottom keep up they were sweet speakers, played with their limits, which were fairly high. Again, like my custom builts, in 2-way form they suffered s9mewhat from the lack of a midbass.
Ali in all, a very god speaker worth picking up for a restoration, maybe find a way to add a midbass or even just the Heil drivers.aa

Well, there was 3 points I was trying to make with my story. I was hoping to stir up some good discussion in all 3, or at least 1 of them.
1. IMHO the large AMT 1 (aka "Elite") drivers may be the best mid-high driver ever. Period.
2. Getting passive crossovers out of the pathway between the amp and speaker driver make far more difference than even major upgrades to preamps or power. IQW keep that old amp save your money for an electronic crossover.
3 The laws of physics gave not changed. For really rock-solid, accurate low bass nothing beats big, heavy boxes and big quality woofers.
I'm willing to discuss these or whatever. Just let me know what you think. I already listed my system as an example of what I put together on a reasonable budget. Let's hear more.
