    My custom JBL corner horns

    Thought I would toss a couple pics on here of my JBL loaded custom speakers. These are still a work in progress, but you get the general idea of what I'm doing. Here I still need to finish the veneer to the face.

    They use LE-175 HF compression driver, H91 conical horn and H94 bent plate lense for the high end.

    Thumbs up Nice

    Hi
    I love that rosewood. Very Classy !

    It's a nice idea to use those H94 lenses.

    What is your enclosure design ( if you don't mind me asking ) ? You mention it's custom - but - there must be more to the story than just that .

    regards <. Earl K

    Not that I want a lot of bass from these in a tube driven stereo setup, but I do have the option of turning on the dual 18" bass horns.

    Another step with horn and lens mounted. The LF grill is held in place with magnets embedded in the frame and behind the veneer.

    As for the cabinets, they started out in life as Wharfedale corner cabinets around 1961. I've had them for years and just decided to finally do something with them after picking up the horns on a deal.

    I'll drive these with this one off custom direct coupled "ultra-path" 2A3 that I built after my buddy John came up with the schematic on a notepad.

    I picked up the B1's from Rhino Acoustics (the manufacturer) in Houston. My buddy Johan is the actual designer. I now use them in my home theater. They WILL rock the house.
