    Are they loaded with JBL drivers? Having built 8 pairs of corner horns using the klipsch design I am very familier with them. regards Ron

    They LOOK beautiful!

    And they will play loud! Thats a fact. Extremely efficient, and jagged midrange!

    Although these arent JBL,s they can be gotten to sound pretty good on tube amps!

    Now about those EQ,s! Audio Control EQ,s? I see you have the lower bass boosted considerably! Some of the lower frequencies look to boosted almost all the way! This is correct? Considering the efficiency and corner loading of these horns why do you need so much boost! Low end should be pretty hefty without excessive EQ boosting!

    However, they do look nice, enjoy em!

    P.S. These speakers, like your altecs were, are too big for that room.

    All those folded horns were great when amps were very expensive, like in the 30's, and 80Hz was deep bass; As You know, You need a very long horn for real bass.

    As for the unmentionables, 20+ Years ago I was not impressed, and really disappointed when I saw the el-cheapo components.

    "really disappointed when I saw the el-cheapo components"

    That was a real issue back then. Certain highly esteemed members of the Audio Engineering Society were dead set against building/purchasing transducers of the caliber of JBL, Altec, Bozak or EV. They thought such transducer "overbuilding" was ludicrous, IOW "total overkill".

    You're right Guido. What I meant to post was, " Shouldn't this be posted in the Off Topic section?"

    Geez, I don't even notice anymore. Even off-topic would be a real stretch
