After 5 or 6 years of arduous lurking ( although I see myself being more as a student) I've decided to introduce myself and showcase my latest project.
My name is George and I live and work in the Denver area. I has the opportunity to meet some of you last fall at the “Dîner de Soirée pour Honorer Greg Timbers”.
I found this site when I was driven to build some DIY speakers after finding several pieces of TOTL Pioneer separates form the early seventies that I had set aside during the kid years.
I started researching DIY loudspeakers and in the past 5 years have assembled about 12 pairs of Q&D and/or eWaves.
I finished my most recent project a couple of weeks ago when two boxes with freshly reconed E145's were returned from edgewound, mounted in 4CFT enclosures, driven with a 6290. These are mated with SAMH-1 waveguides and 2431drivers (sans 045’s). A pair of 2235's are crossed at 280, driven w a 6260 fill in the low end. I was currently using Zilch's Z19 crossover. However last weekend JuniorJBL spent some time auditioning and pointed out the crossover point seemed a little high. I pulled out the Z19’s and swapped in a M552. The missing octave was obvious however the M552 is noisy.
So I’m looking for a suggestion as what to use, either from an existing JBL product or maybe from someone’s similar build.
Thanks
George
