Absolutely beautiful work! I wish I had half of your woodworking skills! :applaud:

My open baffle loudspeakers sound great, but boy do they look nasty. :(

The CC isn't like that anymore, it's back in its original position.

Another update...

I got in the Usher 15PA driver a week or so ago. Today I finally had the time to install it into the center channel. With a little trimming of the original enclosure (4.23 cf...

Today I got the center channel worked into the DCX. I first set the levels between the woofer and horn by ear, then adjusted the overall level to that of the main channels. From there, I tweaked it a...

Alright, sorry guys. I guess I was jumping the gun a bit there. I was having a not-so-good day that day and it kind of trickled onto the net.

Anyway, the DCX2496 came in, I installed it,...

I've got a couple updates. Not that anyone cares (which is apparently quite obvious).

1) I just ordered a Behringer DCX2496 digital xover which I will be using on the front three channels. At the...

No, that WAS the point you were making, and no, it DOESN'T hold true. :bs:

Uh huh... Sure. Not all vintage stuff is decent. And I am certainly not a bargain hunter. I don't make a shit-load of money, hence I can't spend a shit-load of money. But you wouldn't understand...

Oh yes Master... I'll get right on that. "Make excuses"?? Riiiiggghhhttt. :blah:

"Mediocrity is way overrated..." Somebody has themself on a high horse. :smsex:

And I "just get bugged" by the...

You know, it's true. Money is a major player for a lot of people who want a somewhat decent sounding system. Sure, I'd love to have true JBL or Altec (or GPA) 15" drivers in my OB's, but they are...

I've been at it again today, this time for several hours. I started completely from scratch, putting the xover and EQ settings to "zero" so to speak. I turned the horns off and just played with the...

Well, considering I had to drop the gains back on the woofers about -7dB from what they were with the 98dB sensitive Klipsch Cornwalls, and still add about another +4dB of gain to the horns to match...

It has to be "heavy handed" as you put it to overcome the short comings of the small-ish baffles and drivers not meant for open baffle use. So with that in mind, it is helping me.

And trust me,...

OOPS!

I just noticed that I inserted the wrong shot for "Graph E". This is the one that's supposed to be there...

Well, all I can say so far is that I have a few mixed feelings about the latest...

There's obviously some misunderstanding here going on here.

You origianlly said to build the center channel and put all 3 front channels BEHIND the projection screen. That's where I said I...

Umm... No I don't.

I'm sorry, but I'm still baffled as to the point of this thread...

It started out good enough with a rundown of the playback system and all, but now it's nothing but a story board of old movies...

Alright, I bumped the xover back to 900Hz. I haven't had a chance to run any tests, but things still sound great, so it definately didn't hurt. Thanks for the tip guys! ;)


Also, I keep...

Why?

Well here's the latest and greatest. Same setup as before, but this time with SynRTA's own pink noise.

This just in... I used SynRTA software today on my dipoles to see how they measure up.

A little about the setup:

This is both channels driven, SPL was about +20dB above the noise floor...

Yeah, I don't know how you would get a polar pattern out of a horn. But from listeing to these speakers for the last few weeks, I'm not sure you have to.

I've now got the xover point at 1kHz and...

As long as JBL made the drivers with a high-ish Qts, low Fs, kept them efficient and allowed them to extend up to 2kHz or so, they would have a killer driver on their hands for OB, and I'm sure...

Hmm... I thought for sure this thread would have sparked a bit more interest on this forum, but apparently not. Oh well. :blink:
