Big Fisher speakers ?
#15

(04-07-2015, 11:34 AM)Ron Ramirez Wrote:  Very interesting. Incidentally, I already rebuilt the crossovers, using film caps and air core chokes purchased from Parts Express last summer before my job was eliminated. It helped, but the sound still isn't quite to my liking. Like you, I rebuilt one set of crossovers at a time so I could do a comparison of new vs. old. The new crossover with Parts Express components was (is) definitely better.

Well, I'm afraid we've totally hijacked Fred's Fisher speaker thread. Sorry, Fred. To get back on topic...by the 1980s Fisher quality had pretty much gone down the drain but the most important thing is if you like how those speakers sound, then that's all that matters, right? Icon_smile
Hay Ron can you relate to this the data plate on these speakers were talking about. Is it just a gimmick placing the data plate on cabinet or is it true in what it states.
