Guys,

The time has come to sell my TAD's. l recently purchased a pair of active ADAM Tensor Alpha's as l help represent ADAM in Australia, l was planning on keeping my TAD's but alas, after living...

Thanks Widget, l will avoid those polarity sensitive cables ;)

Ron, what freq were you bringing in the tweeter? l would like to bring the ET703's in at around 8khz based on gut feel and others...

HI Widget,

l would be playing around with XO frequencsy in the 500-800hz range so this sounds like it would work for me too. The 4001 is mounted on a TH4001 clone so l guess the impedance is...

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the pointers. What value cap is used to provide sufficient protection without causing phase issues?

Cheers,
mondie

l would be keen to hear of reports form anyone lucky enough to attend this event who gets a listen to ADAM active Alpha's or Beta's. l understand they have most of the range at this years show.

Time for an update :)

l just picked up an Ashley XR2001 from eBay at a good price so a move to active is on the cards for 2009. At this stage l...

Thanks for all the kind words, it has been a very worthwhile project. l must admit at times l was a bit nervous but alas the end result is sensational :) My timing was very fortunate too, with the...

All done and setup in the office for a first listen

l was fortunate enough to find a used pair of C.A.R Maple TN-4001 clones from NZ, that saved some pain on shipping costs

HI guys,

Its been a while since l started this thread and l thought it was appropriate to post up a brief summary of the build process and final configuration. Thanks for all the advice, the end...

Hi David,

Yes l will have to do some careful experimenting before l get the hole saw out. l may even be able to make some stout brackets ourt of metal and mount them behind from behind onto the...

G'day JA,

Yeah mate l get around :D

l have decided on the 4001 with ET-703, now just patiently waiting for the drivers to wing their way to Australia. l am hoping to have some TAD goodness up...

Forummers,

l was wondering who was running external Super Tweeters such as the Townshend Maximum Ribbon Super Tweeters? l am considering the use of a ST like these in place of using TAD ET-703's....

Thanks Widget.

l will have little choice but to mount a 703 as you have done in your designs, too bad l have to drill holes in the baffle to try it out :(

Back to the original purpose of the...

Nice speakers :) l see what you mean, the 703 is simply routed into the baffle just as l would need to do. If comb filtering effects are a given, can much be done to control these or is that the...

Some may recognise the cabinets l have bought for this project, they were the subject of an old thread on the Asylum a few years back. l have bought the bare cabinets, originally they were built with...

Guido,

Thanks for the welcoming words. l have sent you a PM regarding the horns.



Shorty,

l suspect you are correct, the 4001 with ET703 is perhaps the best way to spend the $$, the cost...

Oldmics,

Thanks for the hair splitting, l appreciate your opinion. Since my primary source is vinyl l would much prefer to go analogue active. l am leaning towards a Marchand XM44 to get...

The 4001 driver would be run with a C.A.R. Maple clone, the 4003 with a resin clone.

Widget, l have been wondering about a supertweeter. Could be tricky to integrate one into the box but l have...

Hi all,

l have just joined this forum today after lurking for a few weeks. l hate to think how much of my life has been spent reading through the wealth of information in old threads :o:

l am...
