    Looks like a comfy room.  You have the lamp from Christmas story.😀 I have seen a few people turn wine barrels into a subwoofers.  

    Thanks, it took me about a year to complete the room.  I custom on built the ceiling and walls.  The room was supposed to have pallet wood on the walls but I couldn't find or didn't like the pallets I looked at.  So I used new wood and distressed, beat, burned, gouged, stained and a bunch of other techiques to make it look old.

     

    The barrel is for my bathroom that is attached to this room.  I'm turning it into the vanity with a copper sink mounted flush on top.  My projects never end in this household, either by choice or being forced by other occupants, but that's what we for the people we love.  Not sure how she deals with me!

  2. Well, gonna try and get these in my house today and have a listen....or two.

     

    Question for you smart people out there,  If I were to get an active crossover,  would it be easier to tune the horn that has a good mid with a slightly less top end or easier to tune the horn that has a little less mid but good top end? 

     

    My room has a full acoustical panel ceiling, padded carpeting with a few acoustical panels on the wall.  Room is roughly 14'3" wide, 17'3" deep and 7'3" high.

     

    Thanks,

    these KPT 904 Deserve much bigger horns -you cant do much with a small horn -

    Like the 402? $$$. I still need to get an active crossover too.  Will be soon.

     

    So I ordered two types of the zxpc horns, the 18x10 and the 17x11.  Tried them both with the B&C 75 and found I like the mid of the 17x11 but the highs of the 18x10.  

     

    Is there another Horn I should be trying as well beside the 402?  It's out of my price range right now, I have too many other things going on.  I figure spending the money on a good active crossover would be money well spent.

     

    Thanks

    464FD0D8-CA85-4016-8281-12B6D97C2ABA.jpeg415 on the left 904 on the right.

    You know....I just went on a road trip to acquire 7 904's, then I see them next to 415's. 

     

    Any idea what is going through my head right now.

     

    Then I see 402's.......AHHHHH!

     

    The 904 sound awesome!  I can't even begin to imagine the 415's.

    I was too busy with work and missed a local perfect set of M805s with a matching Matrix center for $700.  Black ash which I am not crazy about, but at that price. 

     

    That was a good deal.  That price is starting for a pair.  I see them a lot on music documentary's for studio work.  

  6. Gary, 

     

    The technique of linseed oil you used is something I never heard of before. It is very interesting.

     

    I'm lucky I'm in a job where I learn everyday.  I'm a Foreman Electrician "Union" in Chicago "LOCAL 134" and can say it's very fast paced.  There is so much to know.  I like to tell the apprentices that "I've forgot more than you know".

     

    Anyway what I'm trying to say is that you are taking crap and making it look good!  It is fun to see your hard work go into these! On top of that, we all get to learn from you in the process.  Keep it up!

     

    Try to do this Millennials!
