$1.66 a gallon in central Arkansas

Maybe I should've posted this here instead of the other thread.... Back to the Belle building again as I'm going to order more parts. Again, as much as I'd love to go hog wild on drivers and horns, I just can't...I'm having to be economical to start. I've also thought about the JBL Selenium D250-X/HM25-25 combo for the midrange as it's reasonable and seems to get favorable reviews. But, I need horn opinions, of course. I'll be sitting about 12 feet away from these ran off of a 10wpc tube amp. Mid driver http://www.jblpro.com/ProductAttachments/D250-X_SpecSheet.pdf Horn https://www.jblpro.com/ProductAttachments/HM25-25_SpecSheet.pdf Maybe the D202ti tweeter or Crites CT120 or 125's. Still undecided. For sure going with K-33 woofers; could still work with K-55 and K-77 but most seemed to get changed out for something else. Thus, the idea of going Selenium. But that also makes me wonder if the Selenium 15" woofers would work in that horn. Thoughts and opinions?

I'd give $70 for those no problem. They'd go somewhere.

List updated. I've got you added.

But not sure just yet. Here's the next list in the queue. I'm going to get these 10 boxed and shipped before starting any others. Some have already paid and I hate letting things sit undone. I'll mark them shipped next to the name here and PM the tracking info. Thanks

I'd pay someone to buy them and send me the drivers!

Dang....I'd buy those for the drivers alone!

Yes....wireless 802.11g and gigabit ethernet.

No....just VGA only. These were typically teacher computers where they used the VGA out to a projector.

OK.....finally home and some time to update the thread. I went back in order of responses via PM and posted which is the fair way of doing things, to me. At this point, the final three I have are spoken for by Dr Who and Discgolfer. Between the posts here and PM's, here's who's asked. teaman (1) newtune (2) 7heavenlyplaces (1) Rivernuggets (1) kogged (1) tidmac (1) Pete H (1) I should have 10 more done by weekend which will leave 4. And, there may be more than that. Now, no one is held to this so if you change your mind, no harm, no foul, of course. I'm sorry for the delay in posting. I had to come home and make dinner, do homework, then make a couple of peanut butter chocolate chip pies for a pot luck tomorrow. haha.

Hey Tim... They are 14.1" diagonal screens.

Was that you that just paid? PM me your shipping info...there's no address or note listed on the transaction.

Ok....I'll mark 2 sold on here and on another forum, I think 4 more are sold. I'll have more of these ready to go within the next few days and will update when more are ready. PM's coming to both of you. Thanks!

I have 6 laptops that were retired from a school and I've gone through and wiped the hard drives and done a licensed and clean install of Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. I've installed the latest Java, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash Player, Microsoft Security Essentials, and also Open Office (open source version of Word, Excel, Power Point, etc). These use the Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 CPU, have 3GB of memory and a 120GB hard drive. All drivers are updated as are Windows updates to this point. Power supply is included. Please let me know if you are interested and have any questions. $90 shipped via PayPal gift payment.

I have CF-3's and also had KLF-30's. The CF-3's won in my setup and the KLF-30's went on down the road. Awesome finds. KLF-20's look so small next to the CF-3's.

15wpc @ 4-ohm @ 1kHz. Hmmm.... That would equate to about what.. 4 to 5 watts a side full bandwidth? Tube preamp stage and SS output.

I've bought a few pairs of those through the years but never found any love in their sound. But they are definitely easy to sell to others who somehow do. Buy 'em cheap, sell 'em high.

You guys are just way too smart... And I'm thankful for that fact, too. I may just give those Atlas drivers and horns a try along with some K-77/T-35 tweeters and the K-33 woofers and go from there. They aren't crazy expensive. I'm just having to keep this priced reasonably as much as I'd like to go over the top...I just can't. My hearing above 12k isn't great and tinnitus doesn't make it any better. There's a point of diminishing return, for me. I've got the wood ready but we've had crazy rain here in Arkansas lately so haven't been able to start cutting yet. Oh, and the Holidays put a damper on those plans, too. :/

I spent 30 years in Home Audio/Video/Automation and the last 10 of it as a Manufacturers Rep/Distributor. We rep'd TV companies like Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Mitsubishi, and Pioneer. It cracks me up about all this new video hype and the crap they keep trying to come up with to sell TV's. Look at 3D...pretty much a flop. There's no excitement in video and no margins in it that places really care to sell TV's. I could care less about 3D, 4K, or BR549 video. 1080p looks great and OTA broadcast looks great. If you need something better than that, you spend too much time watching tv. But that's just me... Too many years in the industry gave me a don't give a shard attitude. They can build crap TV's that won't last long and expect us to buy new ones every 5 years. Nah...

That's the main thing I was wondering about. If the horn would go low enough in frequency to mate up with the K-33 woofer. 600Hz would be too high right?

Thanks for the info. So, does that make these contenders for my Belle project in using those horns or maybe get those drivers/horns and use the Parts Express horn to start? I can always rebuild the baffle plate for the mid/tweeter if (when) things change.

Chris. I appreciate your input on the various horns. You guys are far more knowledgeable than me when it comes to the horns therefore I rely on your input. I had seen these Atlas drivers and Beta Sound horns on ebay at a reasonable price which is what got me to pondering I'd they'd work. Not much info on Beta Sounds out there other than they were out of Dallas and made some rather cool cabinets with similarities to Klipsch drivers. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Atlas-Sound-PD-5VH-Model-K-55-V-With-Beta-Horns-/141835902094?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE
