Hello all,
I thought i'd proble for some ideas. Awhile back I had a thread seeking advice as to which drivers to use for a pair of L200 cabinets I had aquired.
At the time I settled on 2226J's for the woofs and the LE85's melding together with a stock pair of LX5's. At the time I was using a Crown DC300A and a Conrad Johnson PV2. The 2226's responded well to that combo but hard to tame as the bass was too much. Needing to get away from the heavily bass contoured PV2, I am now using a vintage Mac solid state preamp and power amp. Liked it better but it then revealed the industrial sounding 2226. I swapped out the 2226's with a pair of LE15A's and love the outcome but everything not being totally revealed correctly due to the aged LX5's.
As a test, I wired in an N7000 and an 075 setting it on top and got a feel for what might be possible. I am now at the stage to where I want to build up a crossover to (1) use only the LE85 and LE15's or (2) add the 075's.
I have read several threads about crossovers and re-vamping L200's but they deal mostly with trying to make them into quasi L300's with an 077 and a longer horn for the LE85.
Anyone have experience with an LE15A, LE85 and 075 combo with a DIY crossover? I do not want to sacrifice the LX5's to get to the autoformer.
What say y'all?
Thanks
