How much did it cost you do do this? I given some thought to upgrading my crossovers. Problem is there are (5) RF-7's in my Home Theater set up. So the cost multiplies quickly. They are finally out of warranty so I've been thinking about it lately. Jeremy

Hey Bob, Great score. As pointed out eariler, with a radian diaphragm will will lose the low end potential of the 2482 on the 225Fc horn. I don't know the specs on the radian, but The phenolic dia on that horn will crossover solidily down to 300 Hz. That just ain't gonna happen with the Radian. I would (and have) shell out the bucks for a JBL phenolic for the 2482's. For that driver it is worth it IMO. Good luck and keep us posted, Jeremy

That's the funniest thing I have seen today! Unfortunatly I was eating lunch when I read that, so now i'm wearing it. I feel like i'm gonna be on a child porn watch list for looking at that pic. [:#] Jeremy

I think someone found a pair for $25 at a local neighborhood garage sale who also had a pair from his aunt. I don't think they had the really cool cane grills though. Enjoy! Good memory Ben, that would be me. I have (2) pair and $25 is the most I've paid for any Heritage Klipsch! Still have them too. Jeremy

Blackhawks are in Sweden also to play Florida. I'm hoping for big things this year from the Hawks. Hopefully Hossa will be able to play this after all the money they are paying him. Jeremy

Al, Well, if you ever decide to sell the Oris /AER combo, let me know. It may be out of my range, but i'd like to at least know about it if you ever sell. You did a wonderful job of prettying up your wood horns. Mine are in a box so you only see down into the throat, so no pretty for me. Thanx for sharing your project. I think we need to get a compilation thread of all these DIY tractrix projects and sticky it. Jeremy

What is that in your avatar that you are replacing, Oris w/ a full range? How does this compare? I have built these 2" tractrix @225 Hz and I like them, but now I want big round horns. BTW nice job! Jeremy

Isn't there a "Great" big lake in Ohio?

Dennie already covered the 1st two things I would try. If nothing changes you and you have narrowed it down to the speakers, I would try swapping crossovers side for side and see if the problem follows the crossover. I would be suprised if it is the midrange driver itself. The diaphragm should either be good or bad. I don't think there is any in between. I have never seen a degradation in sound from a diaphragm. If the problem stays in the speaker when switching the TT or amp, then my guess is a cap in the crossover has failed or drifted out of spec and you are hearing the added frequency being sent to one of the drivers. Trouble shooting is fun! Good luck! Jeremy

Bose Acoustimass?

Another vote for the Shure M97xE. You can't go wrong with that cart for the price. BTW what ever happened to your Thorens TD-125? Jeremy

Here is the best I could do. It would be more realistic if I could hold a cigar and martini glass at the same time. Jeremy

No need for a furnace?

I've always loved the set up in JBryan's avatar. Looks like he has a full range driver instead of a compression driver on his Oris horns.

It would be interesting and it would be small in scale compared to the bass bin. The Oris 250 I've shown is about 22" diameter which would barely be as wide as the front panel. I'm afraid it would even look small. I guess visual proportion is important to me for some reason. the Oris 200 and 150 are bigger but their lower fc would be unnecessary with the Jub bin. I think the Orphean MKII system shown on the BD website would be a killer idea on a K-horn bass bin. That would probably be a cheaper option for me also because SWMBO just gave me some corners. But after all I read about how much cleaner the Jub bins are than the k-horns I can't help but lean toward the Jub idea. Oh well..............it's all just dreaming at this point anyway. Thanx for listening. Jeremy

Lately i've been fascinated with the idea of building some DIY Jub bass bins and using this up top: http://www.bd-design.nl/index1.html I really like the thought of those oris horns sitting atop Jub bass bins with the BMS 4592ND driver. Pretty pricey, but if I were to purchase them I would not need alot of this other stuff I have laying around here. Those Oris horns have much better WAF, at my house, than anything else I have seen sitting on a Jub bass bin thus far. Good luck with your new venture. Jeremy

You have Heresy speakers not Cornwall. K22 woofer and type E network are the give away. Still a good deal for $10.

That's why it did that. Welcome back, good to see you still hangin in there! Jeremy

Well sort of http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31966131/ns/technology_and_science-space/?GT1=43001

Since this was bumped back up and we are ranking deals, I just want it to be known that I have 2 pair of Cornwalls with a total investment of $25. I think I should be able to find a seat somewhere up there near Gary. [] Jeremy

Just think about this for a second. Our cell phones have more processing power than the computers aboard the spacecraft that took men to the moon! Jeremy

LOL, same here with the EL-34's. But, if i'm gonna burn em i'd wish it were on those 6c33c's instead of the EL-34's in my Dynaco. Ouch! [:'(] Jeremy

At the top of my wish list! Jeremy

Thanx Al, that is great to know. I wondered about the ES600 as well thanx for clearing that up too. I really need to contact you off the forum about a DIY project I have been dragging out for years, and see how your networks would apply. Jeremy

Does this mean the ES5800 is compatible with the K-79 tweeter in the Cornwall II? I guess I thought it was not all along and us Cornwall II owners were out of luck. I guess this is great news! Jeremy
