Ive been using these Forums over the years gleaning information from some real experts.
I thought these pictures might amuse you with what I've ended up with.
Even with old amps its sounding nice but the real test comes when I get my two Musical Fidelity Amplifiers back from repair.
Looks good. Unconventional look.
You tell us about your choice of design.
43XX (2235-2123-2450-2405-CC 3155)5235-4412-4406-4401-L250-18Ti-L40-S109 Aquarius lV-C38 (030) 305P MkII
The design is to allow to interoperate the horn into the system and to be able to time align without DSP.
All the speakers are movable.
The 2405 has been given space to breath its a very important part of the system its what gives it the space and dynamics.
The pointy bits are just bling.
I run from a computer using ripped WAV files to a master volume control, then to a DAC The volume control on the DAC is digital so is full on.
A Marchand XM 44 crosses at 260Hz 1600hz and about 8000hz via capacitor to the 2405s
The 2245s are in 10 cubic foot boxes made by a company that uses computer controlled cutters the tolerances are such that Ive had to put push bolts on the back panel to be able to get it off.
The top is my work salvaging a failed attempt at transmission line.
Its a long journey this HIFi.
Wow, that looks way cool!
Are you going to paint the 2245 box black?
Not sure yet that's why they are still naked.
Very, Very Neat !
Dr. Who fan ?
I'm trying to decide, which of the many beings encountered, does this "Intergalactic Royal" resemble .
Hmmm.
ps : What's the horn/waveguide ( the 18Sound XT1464 ) ? ( I think I need a pair of those )
Yes its the 18 sound XT1464 but the idea is to upgrade to the Iwata 300 when funds allow. It needs crossing at 1600hz and above.Originally Posted by Earl K

I might also look at the Pi horn for the 2123 when time allows.

Why does it need to be crossed so high ? After-all, the horn appears to be, really quite sizable .
What's the compression driver ?
I'm getting an eye of sauron vibe
Many interesting design details. Was the horn/2124 phase center
alignment done with a mic at listening distance, or ?
Thats the 18 sound specification, most horns sound awful pushed low. I'm using a JBL 2450 the idea is to install some Iwata 300 horns even then I will not take it low the 2123 can handle those frequencies very well.Why does it need to be crossed so high ?

The 2123 crosses to 2450 and 2405 I use a DB meter at crossover stationed at the listening position. Seems to work OK but maybe doing it in software would be more accurate?I'm getting an eye of sauron vibe

I must try and upgrade my input system but thats another long road.

All it needs is a 2403 !
Funny how that works ,I'm getting an eye of sauron vibe

I see a pair of smartly attired, Royal Ambassadors from another dimension ( on a goodwill mission ) & you guys see an Agent of Doom .
There's a lot of propaganda baked into that statement.
But I'll just have to let it go since I really like your build .
