Fellow enthusiasts,
I've been very please with the MS-4 speakers that I own, and putting acoustical foam inside the cabinet makes them sound even better. If one were to select an alternate speaker for mounting inside the MS-4 cabinet, it won't necessarily have better fidelity and less distortion. Why? Some of the speakers I've tried have had maximum power rating of 20-50 watts. When used with a TR-7, I found that I had to run the audio gain quite high, in some instances at the 3 o'clock position, since the speakers were not necessarily efficient. As one approaches the maximum output of an audio amp, sometimes the distortion level becomes annoying. Your results might vary. Enjoy those Drakes. 73, Evan, K9SQG -----Original Message----- From: Charles Ring <[email protected]> To: Bob Loving <[email protected]> Cc: drakelist <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, Apr 16, 2013 1:35 pm Subject: Re: [Drakelist] MS-4 Speaker Parts Express has or had another better-than-original speaker that fits the MS-4 cabinet. Unfortunately I can't find details of the one I bought a few years ago after it was recommended on one of these lists. The price was lower than this one, maybe half.

To me, it sounds more "mellow" than the original speaker used by Drake. It has a massive magnet. The speaker is listed at the bottom of the window in this link: http://www.surplussales.com/Microphones-Audio/MicroAudio-8.html 73, Bob K9JU _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
