Alex you will have to excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference between the 2215 and the 2235?Originally Posted by Alex Lancaster

Johnny:
They are very different, IMO the 2235 is modern, more efficient, and goes down lower, the construction, although they may look similar is another thing:
LE15 = deep plate gap, less power handling, non-vented magnet, it is a 1940´s design.
But, as always, whatever sounds good.
Hey Johnny,
I noticed your new avatar... did that fat cat eat your son?

Oh no. He has grown far too much since that picture. Would have to be a much fatter cat.Originally Posted by Mr. Widget
Will have to make a new avatar. Had to make a crude incorporation of the smith horns in order to keep house peace.

Have been upgrading the speaker a little.
First I took out the crossovers, going external. This is a preparation action before building charge coupled networks.
Then I mounted the new Smiths. The 077's were moved a while back when the Smith prototypes were put in.
Third I cut just a little larger hole in the baffle to fit my newly acquired 2245's. Before installing the 2245's I also added more internal bracing. Could probably still do with more bracing, but that won't be with these boxes at all.

A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enought to take away everything from you
Tell me a bit about running your crossovers external - I' m currently running a set on top of my boxes (3 ways) but it means the back isn't fully sealed due to the wires running in and out. Then again, I've only got one set of terminals mounted to the back - if I was to mount 3 sets of terminals - one pair for each driver, I could dink with the circuits whenever I wanted and still have sealed cabinets. Tho I've still got the LE15s ...Originally Posted by yggdrasil

Thank you Ron.
The speakers are simply amazing, but will still be replaced sometime during the fall/winter. I have most of the parts and ideas, but still a long way to go.
Here's a little teaser...
The design goal with the new speaker system is to make it easy to change drivers / horns / crossover frequencies / crossovers slopes and respons shaping.
It will start life as a 3 way. The woofers in separate ported 10 cuft cabinets. Mid-bass with DIY horns and HF with DIY horns. I have 2245 woofers, TAD TM1201 mid-bass and 476Be HF.
I have designed a modular active crossover and started etching PCB's.

Hello Johnny
Can't wait to see what you come up with! I like your present speakers just fine.
