[What Dynaco Equipment Do You Use?]

My main stereo is:  A25, pair Mk III, factory wired PAT-4, KLH Eighteen tuner, NAD CD player, Thorens TD115 Mk II turntable.  The Thorens is being sold for an AR-XA (two motor).

One of the Mk IIIs was trashed picked, unused, still in the box, along with an unused PAM-1.  The A25s were trash picked, too.  They replaced a pair of AR-4x in the main system.

Back to the topic at hand.  I can only comment on two models.

The Fourteens sound really good in a small room.  I am using a pair with the 27 receiver in my <8 x 10 kitchen.

The Twenties sound rather meh to me.  They were powered by a pair of Dynaco Mk III.  It could be that I compared them to a pair of AR-4x...

Hi Matthew,

I'll play along.  Without trying to I have managed to collect:

Model Twenty speakers (3 of them)

Model Fourteen speakers (2 pairs)

Model Eighteen tuner (used daily with a Dynaco PAT4 preamp and a pair of Mk IIIs)

Model 27 radios (3 of them, one with the proper extension speaker)

Model Eight radio (low s/n, solid walnut)

Model 27 receiver (listened to every day in my kitchen with one pair of the 14s)

I recently learned of the Model Sixteen amp.  Now I am jonesing for one!

IMHO the Seventeen speaker would be a better match for the Sixteen & Eighteen.

Thanks Kent.  I don't have 17s...yet

[WTB: KLH Model Sixteen]

Of course, if i happen to find one, the KLH 18 will be the tuner.  Which means that I will also be on the lookout for another tuner....

 

Does this madness ever end?

Greetings!

I just learned of the KLH Model Sixteen integrated amp.  I would love to find one in good condition.

I have the rest of the components to make a great KLH "teen" stereo:  A Model Eighteen in fantastic condition, and a pair of (almost unused) Model Fourteen B still in the boxes.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Kent!

I will order caps today.  I have been running the unopened speaker with a Dynakit Mk III.  It sounds remarkably good for such a small speaker.  It lacks clarity, though.  I can't wait to hear these after they have been recapped.

Mystery solved!  1 MFD, 400 VDC

Looking on the Parts Express site, they have Jantzen, Solen, or Audyn metalized polypropylene caps with these values.  Or should I use a film or foil cap?

I will pull the cap this evening and post a pic.

Can someone assist with replacement cap choice?  The cap in there says 400 MFD, 446 V.D.C.  There are two resistors labeled: (1) 24 Ω, 10% and (2) 12 Ω, 10 %.

I had one speaker hooked up to a Dynaco Mk III last night.  I can verify that one driver is acting as "woofer", and the other as "tweeter".

Thanks!

I have a thread going on in another forum working out the restoration of a pair of KLH 14Bs. I haven't found much information about these speakers, other than production numbers and dates.  I thought the pictures would be helpful.

I'll update as I go if there is interest.

Hi Kent,

How do I purchase via CSP?
