Stuck at home? Make a speaker or something for goodness sake!
dwytopx7 posts08-12-2021 8:48pm That's just what I did Mozart I took the Electrovoice Georgian and removed the bass cabinet covered it with Dynamat after painting it and then I time aligned the mid and Tweet. I had to take the mid range 848 out of the cabinet and put it on top because it needs to go back further than is possible inside the cabinet. With the face of the cabinet removed the mid range needs to be back 8 3/8 inches from the front of the outer cabinet and the tweeter goes where the mid range used to be and it needs to be back 9 7/8 inches. It sounds like music now making it hard for me to get off my duff and rewire it with some OCC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EV made some incredible drivers through the years. The EV A1's/1974. and many other earlier horns, wide bands and such. I am not following about off setting the mid horn and tweet horn, back some inches... Why? If you could post a vid like I did, so we can all see whats going on. My only interest now is testing other DavidLouis wide bands. Not sure why the audiophile community has over looked this speaker line. My classical music never sounded better with DL wide bands. I could never go back to any dome mid tweeter, 2khz-15khz. My paper 3.5 inch tweet is the exception. Its sort of like a wide band tweet, the cone is 3.5 inches, so dispersion is superior to any old dome tweet. made in china, the kind you might see in cheap speakers way back in the 1970;s. But this lil guy is new modernized, with double magnets. China is making some junk speakers for sure, but there are a few gems in the pile. Just need to know what to look for. This Kasun is a gem of a tweet at $60/pair. The DL wide band a real special speaker that makes muisc , which i can not get in a commerical speaker. I do not like any commerical speakers. The Wilson;s I know are nice, but wayyyy too heavy, and of course wayyyy out my budget. So i had to make my own **Wilson** on a budget. |
Not so much a scratch build as a strip out and major modification. Not quite finished yet, but tested at several points along the way, so no real idea of the final sound. I hope to have them finished this weekend. I expect to have them apart several times before I’ll consider them truly finished, as with so much of my stuff, an idea will pop into my head, and in I go again, quite often I must say reverting to how it was and consigning that idea to the bin. :^) Speakers were originally a pair of Gale GS302 that I have had doing nothing for some time. https://cursorium.co.uk/speaker-project/ |
@mozartfan...Once the warranty goes *phftt*, they're yours to abuse...;) Noticed the cat(s) evac the climber in the window....*g* 2 felines + dawg in house, which indicates loss of control....*L* Your Sony works like mine used to....image ok, sound *ehh*, rather 'bright' to employ the overworked comment...chalked up to the cam. I like bright, so no issues otherwise... Ultimately, if you're happy is all that counts....Enjoy! 👍😊 @oldhvymec, love to apply for the project but can't even get to my own, and you're too far away for practical 'fun fab functions'.... Motorhome is 'landlocked' for some time previous and now. We'd either get along famously or need to 'off' one or both; the usual that happens when strangers meet, greet, heat, huff, and *puff*. *L* 'Analog DIY tools 'n patterns' an in-organism specialty, wood/metal/plastics part of the repertory... Hands still work fine, but a requirement would be a stock of Band Aids due to blood thinners....I bruise if you look @ me hard....used to it, keeps the stuff fresh, much like the owner of the organism. Vac'd, of course; carrier, perhaps. What I've got only xmits by mindmeld, most of which goes extremely undetermined as to long sequence effects. Do find your line-source concept of interest....find the neo 10s' & 8s' of interest, but wonder if you're going to 'dipole' them as opposed to 'throttling' the back waves....10s' 'up front' could eliminate the 8's with cab design, but your concept rules the day and direction.... "If it don't fly, throwing off a cliff won't improve matters...."*L* BTW....I draw, concept & construct. Beats later f-ups...;) Weakend beconds....urs, J |
