"Hello.
Tell please, you adjusted a portable crossover (DX1) for the acoustics of S9500? Where you bought a portable crossover?
I look for week, but I can't find it anywhere (
And, by the way, you for how many bought acoustics of K2 S9500? At us in Russia it costs about $17000 in a good condition.
You compared K2 S9500 to newer S9800 or to S9900?
How to you in general S9500 sounding? Soon you aren't going to change acoustics?
Excuse for bad English)
Thanks."
I answered to your Email yesterday:
"Hello autosky,
yes, in a few days I will drive my S9500 with the active crossover “JBL DX-1”. A friend of me rebuilds it for me and another friend,
because it is very, very rare. There are build only 500 from JBL and over 180 of these were going for scrap.
In this thread
here you can find the schematic of the DX-1 and the cards for the S9500.
On Lansing-forum you can get the user guide, too.
We have tested a prototype and I t was a big improvement: better soundstage, more detailed, better bass and highs.
The best way is, that you rebuilt a DX-1 for yourself.
Here in Europe the K2 S9500 costs in very good condition 17.000 US$, too.
A friend of me bought them from a France JBL dealer for 17.000 US$ with original boxes and the bass driver were refoamed.
I bought mine also for this price, but with 4 recon kits for the bass speaker 1400ND and two diaphragms for the 475ND.
But one grill for the lower bass failed, so I let rebuilt two in aluminum.
I don’t have heard the S9800 or S9900 nor the Everest II, so I can’t say.
I like the sound of the S9500, it is smooth, not fatigue.
Excuse my bad English, too.
Best regards
Dieter"
