they have done a few jobs for me (inlcuding a complicated dynaco mkIV upgrade project) and they have been honest and economical, helping guide me away from unnecessary tweaks, etc. highly recommended. tony

why not ocnsider the jbl 2404H for the tweeter duties? tony

[quote user="AltmanEars"] Tony I'm trying to read between the lines but it sounds like you used amps that you didnt like then triamped using a digital crossover which is likely only to work at higher volume (these devices are optimized for PA use where bit loss is not a real problem in practice --- most of them use cheap op amps etc... ) --- then went to a simpler higher quality topography and found that the sound is better. Question is, arent you better off with a solid state amp on

the stones' original version can still give me chills, like when the back up singer's voice breaks singing "yeah-y-yeah!" .... if you are going to cover a song, make it one of the best I guess is the line of thinking...

not in ohio but i can heartily recommend these folk, honest and smart. Vintage Amplifier Restoration 98 Woodland Road Hattiesburg, MS 39401 U.S.A. 601-582-7912 William E. Hardy ••• William F. Rawls tony

cask, I might want to try my hand at a DIY spud. I cannot seem to find the DIY plans on the internet, they may have been pulled. do you k now where I might find them (for my own build only of course!) thanks, tony

most important feedback is that the k-horns bottoms need K33 woofers, the altecs will be sub optimal when placed on those horns. the altec drivers are great drivers but they will not work well stuffed into k-horn bass cabs...tell him to seel the altecs woofers and buy K33s. regards, tony

Congratulations on your new Klipschorns! I have done the active crossover and time alignment stuff (using a DEQX unit and triamping) and it really didnt affect the sound nearly as much as the preamp and amplifier combination. Yeah theoretically the drivers coudl benefit from some steeper slopes, some time alignment, etc. BUT before jumping into active crossovers I highly recommend trying some DHT amplification. BTW after getting my amp selected I dropped the DEQX from the system entirely, went back

hard to beat altec mid drivers....288? 290, 291?

Those are truely beautiful speakers, congratulations on your build talents! I bet they sound great as well. I wish I could build something as nice as that, however I will have to live with my k-horns for the time being. Regards, Tony
