Thanks, but the foilcals are on the way.

Where did you get those little black plastic bottoms (with white point) mounting on the front crossover attenuator ? I need four parts like these to restore my 4435.

First of all, thank you for all the compliments.

You said the footprint is 650mm x 450mm.
But tell us - how tall are they?

1,300mm or 4.27 feet

Question Guido, I noticed the settings on the L-pads. Are those settings to compensate for the horn height compared to normal sitting position?

This is the position where I find the sound perfectly balanced. I usually like a slight rollof of the highs. The mids set to 0 dB with the 4435 crossover let my ears bleed. The 4435 crossover creates a step at app. 1.2 kHz which I find sound agressive. The 4430 crossover don't have this. I yet have to test a 4430 crossover with adapted Mid/High damping in my 4435.

They are original JBL LPad knobs. I'm currently working on replacements together with R.J. who did the foilcals as those knobs get rare.

I expect no changes to my horizontal DIY 4435. Aquaplas 2426H Drivers plus CC networks.

I have no stock 4435.

If I might inquire, where and how did you get your 2426 drivers Aquaplased?
I am considering a similar project (4430) and am wondering if such a treatment would help my 2425 drivers, or if it is even possible.

thanks,
Russellc

Truly beautiful!

Did you set these strictly by ear or do you have a measurement routine you use to assist you? Joe

Sure it will smooth the sound. If you don't have aquaplas use the D8R275ND Dia. It is basically a D8R2425 with aquaplas.

Usually I set all speakers by ear. Yes, I did a control measurement last night. Looks exactly like I described the sound from hearing.

Looks great.
Where did you get the veneer?

It's very old stock (20+ years) of my carpenter.
