Acoustat, 121-2a can they be cut down


I have a pair of Acoustat 121-2a that I would like to shorten.....Has anyone tried that ??? Can it be done without a total waste ???

Agreed with Samujohn, you may want to just find the model that fits your room best and sell off the 2+2s, especially if you can do both locally.

Plato, in my experience the Monitor 4s can actually sound downright magical in the right room. I've displaced Model 3s in fairly narrow rooms twice now. With Acoustats it's always a matter of just setting them up and seeing what happens... which is why I tend to keep a stock of various models handy.

Fortunately for me I have low ceilings so it's down to three models - the 2, 3, and 4. Right now the Monitor 4s are winning out to my surprise!
HI, I just can't see why you would want to do such a thing...I loved the 3's...I hated the lil 2's, which I guess is what you're ending up with. No bass, little things not worth messing with. If you played flute music all day, maybe....don't do it. Get a different speaker and let it live....
I would rather have a short Acoustat than no Acoustat at all....They won't fit in my house right now.....They do sound good in my shop along with my Altec A-5....I think that Mr. Fire-bottles has most of the problem figured out.....THANKS
The two's are the hardest model to place, but I've heard them sound very, very good. In fact, my first Acoustat listening experience was with Model 2s in a room that was about 14 by 22. They were powered with a Crown Macro Reference. There were no issues with bass or volume... and they soundstaged beautifully. That setup did involve quite a bit of tweaking but eventually sounded incredible.
Mr. Fire_bottle To remove the sock do you remove the bottom plate and pull the sock over the top or over the bottom ??
