Vintage Stereo speakers floorstanding?
I have a Kenwood that is 120 watts per channel & soon i'll be getting some vintage HH Scott speakers with fuses that blow before the speakers do will my Kenwood receiver protect my speakers if I accidently crank the volume all the way need advice my amp never clips
My speakers are 8 ohm vintage floorstanding speakers made by HH Scott I don't have them yet but will be getting them from a friend soon as I have already blown my 200 watt Sony vintage floorstanding speakers that have no fuses
You scott speakers are fine quality.
They should be all right if you overload them for a short time but will blow if left overloaded. There is probably a cloth rim and paper cone that takes a real beating and still sounds good (and lasts a loooog time compared to the foam crap they make now). If you get a rattle, shim the coil and spray the cone with water mist.
The fuse is a nice touch and a good protection, but check that the right fuse is in them when you get them.
I might also suggest recapping the bridges on those vintage speakers to get the right fequency to the right speaker. That will make them sound their best and last the longest.
Enjoy.
