Speaker Safari

[SEAWOLF97]

to make you happy mickeyrooney, I put out $5 for this pair of Pioneer CS711A's yesterday. Oddly enuff, they dont sound too bad.

The Safari continues ......M&K

If memory serves me that M+K might well be a keeper , they made some tasty kit in the day. Note the L300 styling . Wolfy you are getting better and better.

I thought the sub was an L300 when it was being wheeled out on the cart.

The M&K is cleaning up nicely and the 12incher is already out for refoaming. I put power to it briefly and it was fine. Grill is even OK.

The Safari continues ......M&K , JBL L25-Prima

That M&K looks like my M&K V3B- I like mine a lot, it lives happily with my L110s.

Fred- you mite be the person to answer my questions.......On the rear there is a 3 position switch...1=flat/anechoic 2=room "A" 3=room "B".

on the rear there is a graph showing FLAT as flat from 20-100hz , but there is no explanation of rooms A and B.

do you know ?

(the veneer is getting nicer and nicer with each application of oil ..it was thirsty)

[Fred Sanford]

Apparently, then, yours ISN'T a V3B, mine doesn't have those markings. I'll poke around, but knowing your exact model # and age would help.

The Safari continues ......M&K

Fine looking box, m'friend!
You are having a great year so far, eh?

[SEAWOLF97]

Fine looking box, m'friend!

that box is starting to glow , it was so dull 24 hours ago and been drinking oil ever since.

I always thot M&K was English....but sub is US and my just sold SAT5's were Ch1na made.

Looking good Wolf! Nice 3 leaf book match, there's even a little fiddleback on the upper left match.
What are the little white "dots" ?

took my thumbnail and knocked the spots off, cudnt see them with my naked old eyes until you pointed them out.

SO...I finished up the refoam and reinstalled today...the dustcap reads "DISCOVER DEEP BASS" ....So I put on the CD of the soundtrack to "Mullholland Drive" ,,kinda spooky with lots of rumblings....

SO now I cant latch the grandfather clock door anymore, it doesn't latch real tight and now vibrates against the body...

There are quiet passages in the CD that I thot were just blank "space fillers',,,nope they are rumblings.

Also thot all 12 in. sub's are about equal. Have been using a mass market 12 in. Infinity sub...BIG DIFFERENCE !!!

Went off to the bathroom (other end of the house) and the junk in there was rattling...

I guess I did OK for a $10 investment + refoam time and materials. ?

Yup. Closest I could find was that the "flat" setting extends response down below 20Hz, and the "Room A" & "Room B" settings are likely based on where you locate the sub, whether against two boundaries (floor & wall) or three (floor and two corner walls).

Was talking with Mr. loach71 (anybody else know the significance of that name besides me ??) and he has 4 sets of big Walsh's...now he is waayyy more into his system than I and while loving the Walsh's, he acknowledges that they could use help on the top and bottom octaves.

So I added the L80t's with their bright 035ti's for top and the M&k for bottom in addition to the F's (but on separate BGW amp) and the whole thing is really starting to sound OK.

One of the biggest improvements was the ADC SS3. That pup is the best EQ that I've had and the Thorens doesn't hurt either..only thing left to upgrade is the phono cart and I just have to swap in that V-15 and there will be NO conceivable projects left...
