Great to know- thanks for the post..... presumably the other end of the bracket from the throat mounts at the back of cabinet. Doesn't appear to look like it’s 7” long to reach front baffle
cheers...
Great advice and will take it to heart, glad to hear again that I’m not being silly to try this combination of drivers. Interestingly on checking inside the cabs this morning I can not fathom where...
.... ahhh, didn’t realize there was a support initially. I’ll look inside cabs tomorrow but don’t think so. I purchased cabinets after seller has gutted them for the components to sell. I knew I...
.... many thanks to all for the advice, much appreciated! I was hoping to do without having to go through the trouble of cumbersome braces but knew deep down it was not likely the best idea. With a...
Ahhh, OK, thanks. I assume the ply is 3/4" and your driver is 5 lbs heavier than mine. I've got the original JBL L200B cabinets which seem to have been made of 3/4" MDF .... so probably of similar...
Hello All ..... I've bought 2482 drivers with H93 short horn for my L200B cabinets. Horn fits just fine of course, the question is will the front panel support the weight/torque of the fairly heavy...
Mike, Great, makes sense. The perforated stack came with 075 tweeters I purchased recently. Fits over the 075 nicely and a great idea I though in that dispersion should increase significantly while...
My stack of perforated plates have fallen out of the holder. Question is, do the holes in successive plates align in some way or are the holes in successive plates just randomly oriented. Seems I can...
.... I'm sure there is... :banghead: However when searching the very general terms "L200B 375" (among others) essentially nothing came up except stuff about amplifiers and someone looking at an oak...
Hi All,
I obtained a set of empty L200b cabinets and have a variety of drivers available to place in them. I'm a bit unsure of which to use so as to create an optimal system. So:
1) should I...
First let me say, Glen was right on the money! carefully inspecting all 4 drivers (consecutive serial #'s of course - probably confirming a 'special order') the drivers 'all' display fine scratching...
Hi Widget, I measured the DC resistance as 14.2 ohm with a few tenths of an ohm variation between each of the four LE15'B' that I have. I would assume the ac impedance will likely be a few ohms...
Zilch, I'm going blind.... didn't pick up on that huge cutout on your boxes .. :-) re the diffraction, I tend to think the same and will likely go ahead and check this once the tweeter is installed...
David, thanks, makes a lot of sense. Especially in view that these woofers were used 'pair-wise' per side .... presumably to give the paralleled nominally then 8 ohm impedance for the LX5 xover that...
thanks for the kind replies. Note, I've added the pictures as suggested... I know, a picture is worth a thousand words - thanks for that suggestion.
re the tweeters, the cabinet is lovely - great...
I've recently bought a L200B cabinet and am about to fill it with some of my components - seems I never get around to finishing my own homebrew and the cabinet 'is' lovely. Anyway, I've got some...
All right, I'll be a heretic. From my admitedly limited experience with both and I did make the choice and kept the AR3a's. The AR3a's are excellent speakers and, yes, better than the L100's - let...
Small bit of input re age of blue Le15a's. I don't believe 'early' 60's is correct. I bought my very first Le15a that was blue in colour brand new in Vancouver in 1967 or 1968. the store was...
Hi Eckhard, not trying to make you feel down (if that's what you meant). Just a reality check re your purchase; don't get me wrong - if I had to spare money and the room I'd love to have a Paragon...
Like Rafael I also measure my Paragons using a impulse measuring system now so common with computers. I found that the arrival times at a reasonable listening position between 075/375 very well...
that reminds me that I've always wanted to ask. What's the difference between having the slats angling down or angling up? I guess if the slats angle up it might catch more dust..... but otherwise?...
well I've had one for a number of years. it's an 'interesting' but definitely not a great speaker IMHO. I doubt if it even is a good speaker. Blasphemy I know. I love the design and basic idea...
Sorry, didn't clue in to your (and others) exact response. Please let me ask re above to make sure I understand correctly. If a single speaker in a -say- 5 ft^3 box has a -3dB point of 40Hz and flat...
I don't know if its because the second woofer is so close to the floor (3 or 4 inches), or because I used one large enclosure instead of two sub-enclosures.
Well, alhough I am not an expert, I...
