Array 1400 Clones

[Robh3606]

I have been working these up over the last few months. It really the culmination of my other 2 threads for the SAMHF1 and Universal Bass Module threads. I have had these running in full passive mode for the last two days.

For the driver set I have LE-14H-3 Aquaplased 2435 and 045Be drivers. The stock networks don't have enough attenuation. So I have added trim resistors I can bring outside the cabinets or just make a jumper bank like the L250Ti to give me adjustable attenuation. They are built up Charge Coupled but have not set-up the batteries yet until I have the crossovers installed in the SAM cabinets.

Wow! They sound great even though I am still futzing around with them.

Very nice...I wish I had the skill set to do something like that.

Very nice indeed!

Where does one go to buy SAMHF1 modules if one wanted to? Best Buy doesn't carry them..

I just don't see items like that for sale...

Very nice...I wish I had the skill set to do something like that.

Sometimes I think I'd like to do that, too, but then reality sets in. Why do I want to?

I respect and admire what the DIY folks do around here, and I futz around a bit on my own, but when I want really great gear, I buy it. My goal is listening to the best gear I can get, and that's not going to come out of my efforts.

Rob actually has a pretty good idea what he's doing, and he's willing to work hard and learn more. He enjoys it.

I enjoy someone else making a great product for me.

I certainly enjoyed building and tweaking my Synthesis® room (The Two Jims Theatre), but that played to skills I already had. I was confident that I had the right gear to make the work meaningful.

I'm glad to stick with what I know and that I have Greg Timbers, Chris Neumann, et al, "working" for me on the equipment design.

Now go listen to those amazing 1400 Arrays.

Exactly, TD. However, it would be nice to be able to retire (someday) and know how to do this stuff-just to know. I like to learn new things and this hobby is right up there.

However, to your point, I, too, like to be able to purchase the finished product, albiet perhaps not that NEW finished product. There seems to be about an hour of free time a day (pushing it) to listen. The Array's are superb indeed. I think I will keep the S/2600 like you, however it seems a shame since I do not have a spot for them........

Hi Rob those came out great. Any update on your thoughts on how they sound compared to your other speaker builds?

[Robh3606]

Thanks! Well after living with them for a while now not much has changed. They are still the favorites. They image better, sound more natural and relaxed and vocals are just plain amazing. Don't get me wrong the other systems still sound good just not as good as these do. I won't be getting rid of the other builds.
