    I am anxious to see your measurements. That filter clearly works 2435HPL the best on PT-H95HF here, and I recall from when I first experimented with it, I thought it the nicest sounding of the PT waveguides with that driver, as well....

    O.K., we've waited long enough.

    Let's see them PICS!

    [And them curves, too, but only if they're good.... ]

    Well, a few quick pics.....I've been quite busy lately, but did have a little time for tuning over the past weekend. A little more micro-tuning to come, though everything is working really well!

    Wow!! Really nice looking combo!
    If they sound HALF as nice as they look, you must be in heaven!
    Kudos to you!

    Thank you all for the nice words and support with the filter network for the 2435's/waveguides. The cabinets turned out well, and I will be fighting the urge to build any new speakers for a long while. I've told my wife that this is it.....she doesn't believe me! I really I enjoy the journey, but the destination is a good place too!

    These certainly excel at details that past speakers have masked. There is a tonal and spacial realism to instruments that borders on eary. The presentation is different than past speakers. It's not forced or compressed, but seems to flow. Individual recordings take on a unique scale, where other speakers have seemed to inflect a certain "size or space" that seems to transcend recordings and is more an artifact of the speaker/room interface than the musical performance. So anyway, they are good!

    btw, anyone with a single 2123J in excellent condition? Had a cosmetic mishap a few years back......

    Bentwood horn

    I ran across these exotic looking horns in my latest quest. Has anyone run across these babies before? The larger 400Hz horn will mate with the 2435 and the smaller one is for the 2407 & 2408 with the screw thread.

    Earl,
    Thank you for your work and suggestion for the 2435HPL on the PT-F95HF.
    I want to add the UHF Bullet tweeter 8Ohm above 9khz on it.
    Can you show on your diagram the best way to do it?
    Thank you.

    Hi,

    The displayed schematic belongs to Giskard ( who no longer posts here ) > I merely referenced it as a good starting point to the thread originator.

    Regardless; I do use a Fostex 945N bullet tweeter ( over top of my Altec 288-8K//Emilar EH combo ).

    I run my Altec all the way out ( no lowpass is created on the horn-driver ) and then bring in the tweeter with a single 1.5uF cap ( plus a PEQ notch filter that is derived from a .26mH coil + 5uF cap + 4R resistor > all in series with each other > strapped across the input terminals of the Fostex ).

    Here's the schematic ( try something like this and see how you like it ).

    If it's too loud on balance > use a smaller first cap ( try 1uF in the C1 position ) .

    And L3 is 2Ohm resistor or 2mH inductor?
