Wild Burro Betsy Alnicos back in the line up
08/03/24 at 04:50:41

After sitting in a closet for several years, the 8” Betsy Alnicos have finally reemerged. I made new top baffles for them. The main reason I liked the idea of a separate top and bottom, was so that I could swap full-range drivers out from time to time.

The Lii PT-10 is very tough act to follow, but the Betsy’s work their own magic. When I first started playing them, I thought, I did all of this for nothing, cause it sounded kind of flat. But I made some sound adjustments, and finally things got much better, and now I’m hearing what first made me love the open baffle sound.

You were one of the first folks that I communicated with on Audiokarma. I always enjoyed your posts - then you seemed to vanish. I had thought that something bad may have happened to you. Glad you’re here. Geno
