Santa came last night and brought me 2 awesome speakers.

A MASTERPIECE it is
:yes: and :yes: and :yes:
Woofer: ME150H
Midrange/Tweeter: 2435 aquaplassed on H4338 Horn
Low Pass: slightly modified S3100MK2 circuit
High Pass: modified GT network, 1 maybe 2? notches added, HF EQ added, crossover region modified, sensitivity changed
Audyn and Mundorf Caps, Aircoils, CC technology
Yet to be tweaked to perfection.
Cabinet app. 140 liter tuned to 34 Hz. Lack of low end? Huh what's that? A new Bose invention?
Wood: Santos Rosewood
Sound at the moment is already incredible, believe me.........
Woah! Stunning ...
There's always a place for beautiful wood in THIS forum, especially if it sounds as good as that looks!
I was excited like a child when I unpacked them.
The installation of the crossovers and drivers was pure fun. The very first notes where already perfect. OK I developed the crossovers the last 4 month with test cabinets otherwise such a drop in isn't possible.
I'm SO happy. Thank's Santa Rich ;)
Just stunning:applaud:, so I quess you were good this year:tree:
Rob:)
Congratulations to the both of you. :applaud:

I have been planning on working up some networks for a friend who has asked that I use Mundorf M-Cap Supreme Silver/Oil caps... do you think that using caps of this quality would benefit from CCing? Using twice the number at twice the value it would go from crazy expensive to insanely expensive. Have you done any experiments to see where/if the line of diminishing returns gets crossed?Quote:

Widget, honestly I do not think those silver/oil caps are necessary at all. I did some tests and IMHO they are overrated and very overpriced. But they are fashionable these days. I use regular mundorf supremes and they are very good. Even better are audyn plus or audyn reference.Quote:

But what do I know? Nothing....
That is more or less my opinion too, however I have never built a network using them so my opinion is merely conjecture... and in any event my friend who wants the networks is the sort who buys into $2K speaker wires and the like. I laugh on the inside, but heck, if it increases his enjoyment and he can afford it, why not.Quote:

Many people go and use digital active crossovers. I wouldn't even touch one.
One need to develop an own taste and style and not just copy what others do. I always did it this way and it works fine.
It's as you said:

Is this the first product of a R&G joint venture?
Lovely to see those babies finished Guido. I saw the cabs at Richard's recently and they looked superb - far more adventurous than mine will be.
I'm using the Silver/Oil on the midrange but Hovlands for the HF unit. Why anyone would spend a fortune on these is beyond me but I guess if it makes them happy.
Ian, what do you mean by some capacitors being to revealing?
I would say the 3rd product.Quote:
