I just bought a used ahlborn-galanti organ. Actually a Baldwin Howard D-900, which is really an AG Praeludium ca 1994. The sampling is impressive for the maker and era, shockingly leagues above the Allen M-ADC that I was accustomed to being tortured by for a few years. This instrument is being delivered with 2 Allen Organ HC-12 speaker cabinets. I figured this would be a great addition to put some extra oomph behind this little organ, and make it a little more impressive when I play the kilgen and willis organs i downloaded through hauptwerk.
So here's the point of this..lol..the hc-12's present decomposing foam around the speaker diaphragms. I have an idea about how to replace the individual components, and was wondering where I may find parts that may be slightly cheaper than what the Allen factory wants, without sacrificing the quality of a good solid organ speaker.
Also, I'm sure I'll get hammered for this, but recently, I did a very extensive search for a new organ and discovered that Johannus (installed one in a church once and wasn't disappointed) as well As Ahlborn-Galanti are putting out some pretty impressive and not too expensive instruments now...Any thoughts or opinions? I have at most modest experience with Allen and Rodgers, and a one time only visit with a Viscount (let that be the last...(IMO) not very good organs).
