I will try out any last possibilities for a fault somewhere else in the system during the weekend

I have been working with my 2360's for about six months. To me they are hard on axis around 7KHz and up. Tonight I added 2404's in at 8K with 2.3 mS delay and cut the 2360's at 8K. Much better!Quote:

After a long search, I finally got a pair of 2360's in the house, and thought I would join this thread.
These horns are really awesome. I am now listening to them togheter with 2235's in 5 cu.ft reflex boxes, 400 Hz passive crossover with some compensation, and some room eq. No supertweeter seems necessary in my setup.
Notice prototype crossover components to the left. Still measuring, simulating, tweaking and testing. Exciting!!
With horn loaded subs and E130's for mid bass under them it makes for one bitchen shop system.:)
No, it's an old SAE Mark One preamplifier. And you can also see an (almost nearly as old) Sumo Electra Preamp. What you don't see, is my GAS Thoebe preamp, and my SAE, GAS, and Sumo power amps. But you can see my three 250W MOSFET amps of own design and construction.

problem seems to be in my preamp and fortunately not in the 2360 horns or 2450 drivers. I will get back to this
I see I see I see says the blind man I see.
Yes I see I thought they where cases for CD’s :D
Need to take a few more pictures to exploit the rear view of the diy amplifiers. Also I think a few more of the JBL speakers as I can’t get enough.
I guess its really easy to get the JBL 2360-A THX horns to respond to high frequencies after a little minor in-room EQ due to the high sensitivity. I’d feel better if I had larger horns for my JBL control 5 the small HF titanium tweeter, I don’t like to push it too hard.
this thread i read, hours on hours,
hijacked, corrupted by scandinavian powers.
i see nothing more to do but, machine, leave you.
i turn my head, to say goodbye. i will ...not... cry

ok, its no so dramatic after all. the rhyme above came all alone you see and it seemed to fit the picture.
so: NO PROBLEM gentlemen, please dont leave this thread.

news:
i got a swedish chair (hej heater!)(thats living room furniture, right? it fits!!) and got the subwooferprototyps ala DIPOL connected.
it works (with lots of EQ)--
im sitting close to them and can hear alot of bass. BUT i think thats because i hit some hard room-modes right now.
after driving the subs around in the room i settled them right in front of the sweetspot in about 15o cm distance, befor that i had them behind the sweet spot in 1oo cm distance and the bass was much weaker (7dB) and clearer.
--so i really think i deal with room modes right now.
as soon as i find the time i will build better, stronger baffles, because the ones i have are built from cheapest scrap-parts from some ikea kitchen, and try some different mounting and positioning. cool would be a sub-cluster hanging from the ceiling, but im afraid the anchors would work their way out of the ceiling when given 18" vibrations 24/7 (im living in a very old house).
i will keep you informed on my progress.
cheers,
mikey
ps.
yes, the boxes look ugly in contrast to the beatiful horn, but please dont forget they are just the protos.
Not just me - I have a pair of Poang and so does TiDome ...!
GOT to have the comfy chair!
but I've got little tiny speakers in my living room right now -
expecting a potential speaker buyer and I don't want to weird him
out with the 15s ...
But hey, Mikey, keep us informed!
Hey, Mikey,
WOW!! Your new system looks like it kicks some Bootie!! I'd love to hear it, someday, but don't know when, or if, Sweet Bride and I would ever get over your way! Congrats on your success, and hey, I liked the poem, too!! ;):D:applaud::applaud: Take care, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc
Hi, Mikey!!
Here is a salute from Scandinavia!!:cheers:
Very nice system!! Your 2360's look gorgeous upon the 2206 cabinets. What subwoofers and xo do you use? Keep us posted.
Regards,
Espen
