I am listening to a 12 inch woofer and ESS AMT from an ESS Eclipse B122 right now. Finished the build about 2 weeks ago. Bill Holman Brilliant Corners sounds wonderful. Of course I don't have the budget constraints of a main line consumer speaker that these had when they came out I 1978. So, crossovers are much better in design, technology, parts and tolerances. These blend beautifully.

Wow, this thread has been going for a while. I was looking for info on the ESS Tempest Lab Series ll. I was wondering what the red buttons on front and back are for. Anyway, I stumbled across a pair for a really good price and loved the sound so much I bought another pair. I've recently stripped the vinyl covering and added wood veneer. I think these are keepers. I've lost a lot of my high-end hearing and these tweeters more than compensate. So can anyone please explain the red burttons? The seem to be an overload protection or something?? |
@mynameislarry its a 1.60 A circuit breaker on your TLS IIs. --------------------------------- Glad to see you guys are enjoying your revitalized amt creations. I worked there early 1980s, and still fiddle with them a bit. Running scratch designed AMTs right now with my larger mono tube amps and a recently upgraded full Class A 50w solid state amp this weekend. All new crossovers, with really good parts, and pairing with really good woofers can open up a whole new world of sound. Keep it going! |
