Thanks for the suggestion. I have never seen those before.
Can you tell me the price for a pair? You can send a pm if you like.
Thanks

From the picture it looks very light. Maybe a small stainless steel “scratch” brush could blend it. ?
Barry.
$120/pr + $8 shipping in continental US. No other place in the world to find these as they are totally unique.Quote:

Why not place them in the market place ? You might get demand from elsewhere.
Does the kit include information on an optimised crossover network?
I have heard the native 075’s in 43XX monitors and it’s wasn’t comparable to the 2405. The thing is some global regions prefer the 075 due to different listening preferences.

At this point, I think I have the makings for complete set with slant plates and bases for a couple more sets. I may need to make a few of the diagnols to complete the other sets though.
I think the sound of the 075 with the slant plate assembly may be better than the 077s, though they won't go quite as high, and if I had developed these before getting rid of my 075 (for 2405s), I probably would have kept the 075s.
Send a pair to Kenji @ KenRick Sound
I or someone could do some off axis measurements with REW and you have yourself a nice aftermarket accessory for $150 a pair in Cute Shoe box
Kendrick Sound would get a pair, test them, love them, and knock them off.Quote:

Did you demo them to me last Jan? My memory is vague. I think heard your big monitors and the Heils.
Sure they are out there for all to see. But to get the specs right is another thing more easily accomplished through direct measurement of an existing piece.Quote:

BTW, the slant plates work even better (more dramatic changes) when using an N2400 crossover.
The big monitors with the Heils (Ethyl Mermans) have undergone several crossover changes since you heard them, and they now sing more sweetly than ever.
And, if you recall the Altec Super Big Reds were powered by a Yamaha DSP-A1 for the preamp/horns and a Soundcraftsman 300x4 for the four woofers..., and the Soundcraftman had a ground loop hum. This has now all been replaced with vintage Marantz equipment with an 1180DC for the preamp/horns and a pair of 170DCs for the four woofers (and a Marantz 2130 tuner), and no ground loops. Very sweet!
You know that you are always welcome to stay here if you visit the area.

Thanks Barry
It will be great.
Do the surface need some kind of coating after brush ?
