with what?

Doen`t think bad about Magnat.
Look at Ebay what they get for their "Ribbon Series".
I get an old pair of Superbull II (mid 70`s) and they sound
very good. Alnico magnets on the low drivers !!
Look !!

The sidewalls are made of 3 !! cm sandwhich wood.
And the front and back are made of 2 cm wood.
Is that bad ??
The front is also fixed with a samt(?) cloth.
Is this bad??

WOW!!!

I remember when I first recvd my 4648's from the tent sale(JBL pro) and set them up hozontially on the floor/wall boundry and used Rane AC-22 crossover set for low-pass 120hz on the 4 2226J's in 4648 cabs.

I powered them with a Carver TFM-35 (250 watts/chnl) to break them in. I played all kinds of music(mostly non high quality music unfortunately).

I have a 12' X 16' living room with 8 ft ceiling. I went outside to see how much sound was leaking out to the world outside( my neighborhood).

I felt the stucco exteriorer outside the house, came in and shut down the system, and that was the last time I had a quad of 2226's running hard in my house.

I know some of you out there are wondering why I am getting 2242's to run in my house. Well my normal listening is not that loud, and other than breaking in the 2242's, I will not run at "home-destructive" levels.

It will be a rough time breaking those 18" 2242's in as I am only using 75watts/chnl at 80hz on down to mesh with my Edgarhorns. The midbass horn is only good down to 80hz, hence the subs to finish off the bottom octave.


I found a really interesting point that was brought up in this thread that I totally forgot about. Lowering the tuning frequency by plugging up on of the ports in my cabinets. I no longer have anything more than 250 watts in the house anymore(tube amp junkie), and those are sub-plate amps. My next in line amp is the Sansui AU-7900 I just had reworked and modded recently(75wpc).

Thanks to all in this intruiging discussion, it goes to show the search function will give you tons of info if you use it!!!!!!
