I have ordered a pair of the Everst cabinets at the Hornslet auction and am now thinking what drivers to use
The first step is to make it a two way speaker with a replica of the orginal horn, at a later time a 3-way with 045BE might be an alternative.
I'm not going to make a "Everst clone" with drivers and stuff, but I really like the Everst design and want to make the best speaker I can afford. It will probably be run by a 4-channel amp with DSP, Crown iTech, MiniDSP or similar.
MF driver will probably be 2450SL with Truextent, or maybe 2447 (if they fit) with Truexent, another alternative for MF is TAD or maybe also JBL D2.
Bass is more difficult to decide since it's difficult (and expensive) to get some of the most desirable woofers from JBL...
Woofers I probably can get:
- ME150HS - 1500FE - 1501FE - 2226H
Woofers that are harder to find:
- 2216ND - AL150X drivers
None JBL:
- TAD 1601 - AE TD15M/X - BMS - B&C
Any inputs?
And if someone have pictures of a disablement Everest I would be really grateful, especial looking for details like hornparts, hornthroats, vents...
