I'm sorry Glen, but you can not add a switch with wiring to the part being measured.
You are adding factors like contact resistance, lead lengths, extra solder joints, extra wire, that make it unmanageable.
After looking at the pictures of your solder work, I feel there is some real irony in this statement.
adjusting the top-most horn position for time-alignment, on music, was detectable by me to about 1/64th of an inch.
I just have to call B.S. on this one. If your hearing is as gifted as you imply, you could make tremendous amounts of money consulting with manufacturers to make subjective matter absolute and eliminate needless, expensive measuring equipment.

Take it down a few notches. Your approach is wrong man. Dharma not Dogma. I hate to sound like a hippie but dang. There is more than one path.
I agree with only a couple things in this thread. I am living with a klipsch two way fully horn loaded system in a smallish room. The amplifier is a design given to me by Jackson and Slagle. It is direct coupled and might make 2 watts. This little thing is the longest any amp has stayed in my system. The detail and soundstage is beautiful to me. However it is useless for me to go around telling people what I have heard and why they must do it. Everyone has their own audio fetishes but sometimes you keep them to yourself LOL.....
This is the smartest comment I have read in this entire thread!

Good eyes. Colnogo C-40 is probably the most iconic. There are a couple of Pinarellos, a custom Gunnar that was once my commuter now gravel bike, even an old Kestrel SC200 that I turned into a Fixie. All the Italians have Campagnolo parts while the Gunnar is SRAM. What you riding? Tell me more about the Oris. Active XO? What are you using for bass bins?
I ride a Specialized Roubaix with Sram eTap. I have always lusted after Italian builds with Campy grouppo's. I have Fostex drivers in my Oris 200 horns. They are currently not set up. I am looking to upgrade drivers (Tang Band maybe?) I used to run them with a simple passive crossover to my Cornwall's K33. The future plans are to build some Jubilee clone bass bins and run Xilica active crossover.

Nice work! There are lots of things for me to admire here, from a fellow DIY'er, Oris owner, and cyclist. I spy some fine Italian carbon hanging on the wall!

I personally would worry too much about the difference in the DCR in this case, or how much different it is than its rating. There are so many other variables to the end result of reproducing amplified sound. If you are doing any kind of equalizing then it is a moot point. Since you are a tube amp builder you are aware of all of the differences between channels within your amp, like capacitor tolerances, or tube output/ bias difference. My point is, If they are drivers that you want and local, I would go for it. All of the differences in tolerances in the signal chain can be compensated for in one way or another.

We have one for a lamp that works really well.
BTW @capo72, how's the CD player working out for you?
I just set up my daughters room with a bunch of these outlets because she got an Amazon Echo Dot for Christmas. She has the "smartest" room in my house!
@wuzzzer It's working great Mark! Thanks for the good deal. Sorry for not getting back to you. With the holidays and all it was a couple weeks before I could spend time with it.

Wifi outlets from Amazon. They can be turned off and on with your phone manually or via a schedule. They also work with Alexia or google home assist.

Great Job! What adhesive method did you end up using?
-
Do you have a basement or crawl space? If so I would drill some holes at the baseboard and run those left speaker wires under the floor or a least get a rug.

Only use the Titebond II and iron on method if your veneer has a backing. If you use that method on raw veneer it will seep through any imperfections in the wood grain and it will never accept stain or oil like the wood will.

For perfect mitered veneer corners, you can slightly overlap the two perpendicular pieces at the joint. Then I use a speed square and align the 45° side to the corner. Use a razor to cut through both layers at the same time. Remove scrap and you will have a perfect joint.

Another vote for Titebond II and ironing method. Aligning edges and grain is easier with a dry adhesive method.

Make sure they match so they tie the room together.
I thought this was clever! I thought it to be funny whether or not it was intentional on WMcD' part to suggest rugs to the OP who's user name is "The Dude". I'm glad this was not lost on everyone else!

I would happily pay $1500 for any decent condition within a couple hour drive. I've had my fair share of good deals, just frustrating when you see one you missed.

I'm angry I didn't see the post sooner! They were spoken for when I inquired. Good job Drewg!

just a suggestion to make this thread useful to others, you might want to include the pertinent information and the specific model of Ciare woofer that you used. Congrats on your upgrade.
Maybe Ciare have woofers that would drop into the KG series lots of folks looking for replacements there these days.
Good Point! I assume these are the Ciare HW321. That seems to be a recently popular replacement for the Klipsch K-31K. I have been wondering is this particular driver would be suitable in a Jubilee clone cabinet. My understanding is the K-31-K was used in the early production Jubilees. I'm not sure what the current production Jubilee uses for woofers.

JBL made a slightly smaller version called the Metregon also. Bruce is correct, these were stand alone stereo cabinets design for people that wanted furniture as opposed to "speakers".

Thanks! the only thing close I have been able to find are for tattoo machines.

What did you use for the solder "lugs" that are screwed to the board? I'm having a hard time finding something suitable.
-
Has anyone tried anything from Tube Amp Doctor? I know it's mostly guitar related stuff, but the tube prices don't look too bad.

Interesting. Thanks for the recommendation and link!

So if I'm looking on Amazon at ultrasonic cleaners, what size am I looking for? Obviously the small jewelry size cleaners aren't going to cut it. What size is pictured above?
Cornwall II WO $1000 Rockford IL CL
in Alerts!

I am not in the market for these, but looking at the map on the CL listing, I am sitting about a mile away from these as I type this from my desk at work. If anyone needs assistance in facilitating a transaction for these speakers, I would be glad to help.
