I'm glad I found this place!
Here's a look back on my system's creation and evolution, through (may take a while to get to present day though ).
Please feel free to ask questions, as I can't retro post all the details.
I'll do my best to answer.
In the beginning...
It started out with my 1st hearing AH conical horns with Vitavox S2 drivers, lashed up crossovers, with L-pads and crocclips galore!
This was back in 2010/2011.
We crossed them in above a pair of rect Tannoy GRF speakers. Tannoy tweeter disabled.
I thought, what an interesting sound.
The horns and S2s went home with the owner.
I was gonna get me some of this action though..
I set about a 'little' DIY project.
I had lots of high quality 21mm birch plywood!
Design
Gluing up
I acquired a pair of used JBL2435Be drivers. Good for 1000Hz and up.
They are used in their 3s in JBLs Vertec sound reinforcement array systems.
Driver held in place.
I had know idea how they'd sound - keepers or not?
Pair on the bench.
12 sidestm to round transition handled by carefully feathering 2 pack filler.
Took ages to the critical 1.5" throat perfectly round (essential).
Crossing them in at 1000Hz and using the Tannoy react GRF as mid / midbass / bass
I was pretty pleased with the result.
A friend of mine / ex-work colleague, I_Should_Coco, was the inspiration and guiding light as I learned the horn ropes.
More, much more to follow..
Next up, they multiply
