I have owned a AMT speaker system for over thirty yrs. I bought a pair of
ESS AMT1C speakers back in the early eighties and when the woofers and
cabinets were past there lifespan around early 2000 I used the AMT and did
my second DIY build turning them into a 3-way with active analog X-overs.
AMT on top 1000hz. and up, Morel 5" for the mid at 100hz. up to the heil AMT,and a Titanic Mk1 as a built in sub in each cabinet from 100hz.down. The
AMT is still mounted in a Di-pole config.,the mid in a too small sealed chamber,
and the sub aprox 1.25 cu. sealed. Recently went digital with the X-over(DCX-2496). Anyway it still sounds better than almost any systems that I've
heard. I started getting back into the DIY about two yrs. ago and plunged into trying to learn as much as possible and lurking on several forums and what I found out was I did'nt know jacksh#t and would have done many things differently. I was lucky I had the option of the active X-overs or it pro-
bably would have been a nightmare. I have humbled myself and started doing
proven designs and trying to learn but at the age of 55 and not great math
skills I have to leave the X-over designs to someone else or go active. Back
to the point here is I want to build another 3-way modern AMT system with
Di-pole tweeter and mid so what drivers would people recommend for the AMT
Eton, ESS, Mundorf,Arum Cantus, Beyma, Hawthorne? Obviously this will be
top end build so also need top end mid that will work for Di-pole and a musical
sub that can handle HT as well as music. I'd say 80% music 20% HT. This will
be my final build for myself so I want to do it right.
