Hey Ron. I would go with a 3/4" Scanspeck, Moral, or a Vifa soft dome that matches the ohms of the one you have and whichever fits your budget. You should probably replace the high freq. capacitor with same rating . Solen caps are a good choice. Here is a good list of tweets...

There are rumors that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin acquired three Paragons each-one for each left, center, and right channels- with which they used to monitor there master tapes. There were only about 1000 units produced in there 25 year life. Designed by Arnold Wolf and introduced in 1957...

Hi Laz. Just found this thread. How is the Bi-amp system going? I was curious as to what crossover/divider network you are using. cheers jM

Yes. I have a couple of Heathkit w4am monoblocks w/about 20 watts each. or I use my Bogen integrated Db-230a at about 30 watts per channel. And a Bogen tube preamp. They sound so sweet, Ron, Don't you have some old A7's Votts ?

Yes they are. I love old Altecs, some of the best horn speakers ever made. jM

Thanks Lee, Good to be back on brother.

Good choice on the Pioneer 530. Stevens comments on the Technics SL-1300 is worth a consideration if you are looking for a full automatic. I have had one running since 1976 and its still going strong. Its now being used my my older son. In the last few years, I have picked up two more and...
