Are they worth 100.00 how do they sound would probably pairing it with my dynaco pat4, and Chorus, or maybe some other project like some horns with k-55 drivers, I have going on. Anyone know the specs on these, I found something about it having 120 watts rms is this both channels combined. Any input appreciated.
thanks

That rug really ties the room together.
Hopefully some guy doesn't pee on it.
Nice room by the way, its not how it compares its how you like it.

Thanks djk, shot me a pm for a price on that 24cx2. I have some cheap 15s that I will have to use now, I am running a little low on cash. But I am heading to a garage sale that a pro audio shop is having from 9-5 if I don't get anything there I might be interested in yours. I sitll have to pick up a couple of amps or at least one. Wait did I say 9-5 what am I sitll doing here go to go before all the goods are gone.

Wait Nat are you also saying that I would less of a chance of blowing the 16 ohm drivers with a setup like yours or vice verse.
-
I am learning here, looks like the drivers I was looking at for my project don't go low enough. But I have some better Ideas now, thanks for the education Al, and thanks for the recommends Nat.

For the Altec and k55 setup do I just need to buy those adapt kits from partsexpress. looks like I might have a good pair at a good price on the bay. dam this cigar is good.

Ok last time I post before a response. But how do I determine were I want my crossover point.
-
I also wouldn't mind a 2 way crossover or somthing along the way if your or anyone else for that matter has a low cost one in mind.
-
Something like a blocking cap, or is there something better. If not is how does one go about choosing one, spec, and quality wise.

Anything one can do for protection.
thanks again.

Thanks Al, what if I am going to use a active crossover.

So there was all this giberish about 16ohm actually being more efficient, I can't explain why it something to do with spec sheets. But I have a post in technical questions about using some Altec 511bs, I was looking for a driver to use for now, and was looking at selenium drivers I have the option for 8 or 16 ohm and on another forum some one said based off of the spec sheet the 16 ohm would be more efficient. Maybe this would help.

Had something to do with the voltage input being the same
thanks

So here is what I have and here is what I am working on, Mainly for HT.
A pair of 511bs, yeah that's pretty much it.
No they will be sitting on top of EV Regency cabs, which seem to have been built slightly different cosmetically but they were a strait across trade with some old kustom columns that didn't work so I figured what the heck plus it helped me get a better deal on the 511s.
I was plane on putting some evm15bs, or dl15ws, both evs I would like to stuff some 15wks since they have a 4 ohm voice coil which is preferred for a later down the road k-horn project. But a good efficient 8 ohm I think would work for now, since moneys a little tight and I would like to see this project up and running before football season ends.
What I was wondering is whats a good driver for the 511bs that's not to bad in sound and price,
Also if I was to use a active crossover do I still need some sort of cap, in there for protection to the horn drivers. If so what is recommended, if not well that answers that question.
If I do decide to go active crossovers whats a good one I know the evs are popular around here but any one tried the Berhingers, or is there a brand not to buy. Whats a good amp to put on the top end, I figured a good powerful solid state pro amp would do the trick on the subs.
Is there any good low cost passive crossovers, and yes Alks are probably out of the question. I just don't have a few hundred to spend on a pair. Which something like this could happen down the road.
Well if I am missing anything let me know, or if none of this makes since I am sure there will be a few of you to brake it down to understand my gibberish.
thanks for any help in advance,
P.S. I do have a good solid state power amp I could rob from a another system for now, and a HK power amp I could see to be fixed for the top end but I feel something like that at a 100watts might be to much.

Kaiser is your turntable hanging from the ceiling, if so how did you go about it. I have just moved my table from the rack to a wall mount to the fact of flimsy floorboards, that every time I walked around I had to tip toe. Now I can jump up and down next to my shelf mounted table and nothing happens. But since I have Fortes that load up the bass in the walls this is no good at higher levels, great at low levels great detail. But some times I would like to crank it up, so I think the next mounting location is from the ceiling.
Nice looking room by the way I would love to have a attic room.

I need to read through this thread more carefully, but I have a guy locally that has these laying around 15w or 15wk, I don't quite know what the difference is, except that I thought the k was for Klipsch I am probably wrong with that. But what I am getting to is that I will have to pick his brain but I swear he said they have the alnico mags, this is guy also is a ev dealer who likes to buy up all old stock when stuff is discontinued. He also explains that if they have been redone with the flat wound voice coils, not the cheaper ones(any way to prove this).
They sale for around 250.00 I am sure he will make a deal with me. Also while I am jumping on this thread is there any problems with using the ev dl15w our are these the ones in the toilet.

Rivernuggets glad they are working out for your buddy, how did you hang them from the wall. I am looking for ideas for my Heresies when I use them for surround duty.
Jason thats the way to go was it a white van down by the river, I like that receiver. I just have a pair of jvc for the garage maybe someday I can find some hips for the garage.

Quick up date, new shelf, feet, the Ed Saunders stylus still sounds great, bass is nice and tight. I still have little rumble sound at certain spots that I think are do to a bent motor shaft. But man it still puts cds to shame. All upgrades other than stylus are courtious of friends, so I can't go wrong. The next thing is a belt, and if I could find someone locally to stop by and help me properly setup the suspension. I have tweaked it a little made some what tighter, level, etc, etc. I think after doing all of this I need to re align my cart since the left side seems to have more out put. But all in all I love this hobbie with in a hobbie. I mgiht take in another step and get some cork since its not that much and put between the suspension, and make a mat. But we will see I have always enjoyed stuff how they were intended.

just another pic of the table

Heres mine a few updates to the turntable, since I have purchased this from Ed, I have been adding every free tweak as possible. Since I don't have much money and do have some friends with connections. Latest updates are I found some 1" square tubbing to make the shelf and my roommate works for a glass company so that smoked piece of glass didn't cost me anything, another friend works for a local power company that has a machinest that made the feet. I still have rumbling sound but I think thats from a bent motor shaft cause it only hits when it when the belt gets tighter(i think)
I need to add a spell checker, so excuse the spelling
Man I have a few albums that I love to listen to especially when I make changes. The Wall is one of them and evertime I listen I hear more and more, almost brings tears to my eyes. Man I have noticed some tighter bass I don't know if that is the new feet or what but wow.
Oh yea I almost forgo pics.

.... Another way of looking at this dilemna is.... "OK fess up who bought too many speakers for the house?"
Now that oughta' get some folks going!!!

Whats the total dimension of the room again. I was thinking of putting some glass french doors in the back side up with some nice curtains maybe shot that idea at her.

So your have approx. 13x16 room that opens to a kitchen, I think you have quit a bit of room for for rf 7s. You may all so want to consider something from the Heritage line, they are made out our of wood with most having wood veneers. I love jamming some Lamb Of God on vinyl with my Cornwalls at my old place, and now my Fortes. I would think any of those would work fine. If they are too big you can look at some Heresies I just think they might be to small for your room, maybe not, but you could run a sub with them for more bass in that large of a area.
Your best bet is to find someone locally that would let you audition them.
good luck
Duder.
