Hello Gents,
It's been a while since my last post. We'll still own my speakers, but have moved them out of my listening room (two channel) and into my home theater. The speakers were too imposing in...

Zilch, your work looks so much cleaner than mine....I'm ashamed to post pics of my stuff, but they do work.

Two weeks ago I replaced the caps on my crossover (846b) to Solen caps. That made a...

Hey guys, was just telling Zilch I just returned from a 3 week trip. I asked a friend to build the comp. networks for me while I was gone, but he let me down. :( That's okay, I still like him. :)...

Thank Zilch! :D

Jack and Zilch...most excellent, thanks. :applaud: I'll anxiously wait to hear the results. Oh yeah, this is for the 8ohm version correct? :confused:

Thanks for that electronics 101 link in an...

Jack, yes they do....very much so, it's different. You are right, they really do carry sound. I think these would do well in a big, big room.

Any particular inductors you are using? I don't...

All, I've been running a signal through the system since Sunday and it's changed. I feel everything's pretty well burned in now and the BMS drivers sound even better (better transparency). That's...

Rock on Zilch! :rockon2: Sounds like a plan.

Thanks Zilch...I can't take the drawing and put something together yet, but I'll find something on the net or a book that tells me who to read and put this together. I skipped both typing and...

All, thanks for all the info from the great speaker shootout. While I know short term listening won't allow you to conclude a whole lot, I'm sure it was a blast. As most of you know, I ordered the...

Right!!! Been tied up all night and day, getting pretty anxious. :bouncy: Looks like I need a few metric bolts. Off to Lowes...



Storm...I bought the drivers from USSPEAKER, they shipped the...

Awesome! You all have fun tomorrow. My BMS drivers arrived today, so I'll be playing this weekend too! :D

Thanks!

The flatter curve and reduced mid/hf output might bring the bass and horn to a better balance...that horn can really "shout" in it's stock form. Felt I nearly had my head blown off on several...

I'm also the guy who drops the Baby Ruth in the punchbowl at parties...:yes:

[quote=Zilch;163698]Sure, Storm. I'll be adding more details, but here's the basics:

Finally, additional circuitry pulls the midrange down closer to flat and knocks down the spike at 19 kHz by 4...

If I change them: the Valencia "Special Eds." :D

Moldy, lots of great info here. When it's all said and done, I'm not willing to mess with the baffle in order to get maybe a couple of Hz lower, if that. I think with your and Zilch's info (and I...

Honestly, that may be the best we get with this model. Designers may have figured it was fine for the amps of the era. Maybe the same rationale as the UHF. I think I can increase cabinet volume with...

Making somebody's day, eh.....:eek:

Good point, I otta just listen first. What a concept. ;)

Thanks. I already have some good quality individual posts that I am going to use. I am over 40, but I know what my brain perceives to hear over 15k or so. I've used super tweeters (modified Ravens...

Thanks! That's interesting and it's close. My actual measurements are (x2 ports), 4 1/4 W x 6 1/4 L. When I get my drivers and put these back together, I'll measure my bass response, it will be in...

I believe the woofer is the 416-8Z. Interior dimensions are 27"x25"x14". I noticed that the top interior wall has nothing on it; I'm thinking that doesn't help with the ringing of the horn? I'm going...

Zilch,
I don't recall you doing this before, so I'll pull apart this evening and post. Personally, I don't really care for a "forward" presentation unless it's low listening volumes (late at...
