Lets see....We have a High headroom Mackie 1604 VLZ mixer/pre driving a Rane AC-23B active Crossover, this feeds four different amplifiers-
Highs are fed to a Crest FA-901 which itself feeds a pair of JBL 2425J drivers.These are joined to 1" exit SWF bi-radial horns.
The mids are fed to a Crest FA-1201 which feeds a pair of "Voice of the theater" style Yahmaha mid bins,these are loaded with Eminence Kappa pro 15".
The lows are fed into 2 Crest FA-2401 amplifiers. The first amp feeds a pair of simple dual 18" cabs (4 ohm total/cabinet),these cabs are each loaded with a pair of Eminence Magnum 18LF's. These simple cabinets(24"x24"x46") are used as bass reflex- short throw.
The second Crest FA-2401 feeds a pair of Cerwin Vega EL-36 (single 18" folded horns),this is of course used in conjunction with the dual 18" bass reflex cabs but takes care of the long throw low frequency content. These have both been retrofitted with Eminence Kilomax 18's.
At present the crossover frequencies are; Low to mid-120hz, Mid to high-2.8 khz. (all at 24db/oct slopes)
Speaker cables used are 70ft of 8 gauge for one side of the lows while the other side consists of 30ft of 10 gauge (power amps are always on one side of the stage) ....there are 2 of these set ups for the lows.
For the mids its 70ft of 10 gauge and 30ft of 12 gauge.
The highs are also made up of 70ft of 10 gauge and 30ft of 12 gauge.

Hi guys,

Reading your messages i got completely stunned learning how many gorgeous big JBL systems you guys own.
Yes, you're living in the right part of the world to obtain the best JBL bargains.
Importing such a system from the States to The Netherlands would be a very expensive matter. Since about half a year i have a pair of JBL 4312 A loudspeakers and i am still looking for one of the earlier big systems such as the Baron (D130 and 075).
I am still using my professionally upgraded Harman Kardon Citation 16 A power-amp, which was upgraded in fourty hours of intensive labour (according militairy specs). I have a Marant CD 94 MK II CD-player, which is connected to a Marantz CDA 94 DAC, which was upgraded by the Siltech Company (producer of the world famous silver audiocables). This company is situated about 20 miles from my place.

Kind regards,

Jan Slagman

Hello all,
Been awhile since I have posted,but here is my rig.

Mark Levinson #39 CDP spinning signals to
Rane Mojo active 2way splitting signals at 500hz
the highs amplfied by Wavelength Gemini 45/2a3 monoblocks(2watts with 45 tube and 4watts with the 2a3) feeding signals to Altec 511b/902 horns.
the lows go on to a BagEnd ELF intergrator/x-over set at @70hz
upper bass signals are powered by a Bryston 3BPRO feeding Klipsch LaScala bass bins
low bass signals are powered by a Bryston 4BPRO feeding 2x18" BagEnd sub enclosures.

The system level is controled by the preamp section in the Levinson CDP and the Brystons and BagEnd integrator all have input level control.

The room is 30'x14'x8.5',this sytem is impressive
