It has been mentioned that the crossovers in those two might be different.

I know that some horn speakers sound kinda harsh with some amps. IIRC those specific speakers have a low impedance. I wonder if you could swamp the HF driver with a good resistor. That might calm it without messing with the crossover freq. too much, but I can't say for sure. There are those here that could point you in the right direction. One guy here that I'm sure could help is DeanG. Search the forum about swamping and such.

I just saw this movie yesterday. Although the theatre had a full compliment of Klipsch speakers down both side walls (looked like Heresys). Anyway, we liked the movie but all sound came from behind the screen sound system. Those wall speakers never made a chirp that I heard. Baybe they are for THX or something?

Could you take a multimeter with freq. capability and measure a hum like this at the speaker wires? If I had a hum, I would try it and I suspect the hum would be at 60hz.

Well, one of these might do the job. http://www.parts-express.com//pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=180-075 Or you could try properly grounding the incoming coax.

Would that be the speed of light or sound? [6]

Are those 24" woofers? Its like you would have to really trust whoever is at the controls. That setup looks like it could blow somebody's head off.

Gary you mention Jimmy Smith, the great Hammond organ grinder. Always loved his version of Midnight Special. Check out this video. Starting at 3:30 is Midnight Special. Sadly Jimmy has also passed. I have an old Hammond, now if I could only play like Jimmy! Now I've got to find "Bluesmith" with Teddy and Jimmy for my collection!

Great story! Now, I have GOT to stop watching old Jazz videos and get back to work!!![]

Man oh man, I had to take in all 5:57 of that second video. Sweet! And then there is "little man" featuring Teddy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JejzsbrKH_A&feature=related

Greg, what about running this horn in a 2 way? I suspect that horn driver can get up there. Where does the combo really top out? A freq. plot of your recommended driver/horn would be helpful. Has that been done?

IIRC UNC was up by 20 at the first TV timeout. I don't think there was time for a regroup of any kind unless Izzo was gonna handout handcuffs to be used on the UNC players.

Neat little amps with some punch. I noticed this guy has a 6 channel version to run 5.1 sound. http://cgi.ebay.com/Tripath-3-X-TA2020-PCB-6-Channel-with-intergrated-SMPS_W0QQitemZ260388202904QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item260388202904&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Guess that would be a CornJub. As for suggestions: Maybe your existing Altec drivers/chopped and dampened 511B horns on top of whatever good 15" woofers you can find for the bottom. Then run it all from a active crossover w/tube pre/tube for HF/SS for LF. Then play with it until you reach those ultimate settings where the speakers disappear and the singer is standing there instead.[<)]

Interesting. Whats the difference?

WOW Bruce, you do not look 60! Your lovely wife does not look 48 either. Way to go. Keep doing what your doing.[]

I was rootin for Memphis. They're out and I don't see anybody beatin the T.hills so guess I'll go with Mi St. Looking forward to Sat and Mon.

I cannot seem to find that thread but there was a comparison between maybe 4 different woofers with freq. response plots too. One of the woofers was expensive in comparison to the others. A brand I hadn't seen before. Maybe I'll think of a few key words in the thread. I found this where "D-Man" had the K33 and the 15C in a pair of speakers. They may be the same woofer for all I know. "My buddy who built these is a bass player, and he was suitably impressed enough that he went back home and immediately started building himself a pair. We tried one cab with the Eminence Kappa 15C (4 Ohm) which I had sitting around and only one cabinet totally kicked tail. 30 watts was flabbergasting. These not only blow out matches, they blow the extinguished matchstick out of your hand! Real pant-flappers. I was amazed at how much air these can move. He also couln't believe how loud they were at 1/3 watt."

There is a thread here about the comparisons between the different woofers that included the Eminence woofer with graphs.

I've noticed that the specifications for woofer internal volume can be very wide. Like at the Eminence website. Im using the Kappa Pro 15a 8 ohm woofers and my volume is approx 6 cu ft and it sounds real good. But according to Eminence anything from 1.9 to 6.5 is good. I thought that was interesting. http://www.eminence.com/proaudio_speaker_detail.asp?web_detail_link=KAPPAPRO-15A&speaker_size=15&SUB_CAT_ID=1

My brother came over for a listen. He was wowed by the sound of it. You told me I had the best sounding DJ outfit he had heard LOL.

This is the thread where I describe my setup with the xover. Having tubes for the horns and SS for the woofers really sounds good to me. I have never had the speakers just disappear before. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/117149.aspx

I would speculate that she is a kind hearted and caring soul. She is conservative by nature but not necessarily by vote. I think you two are kindred spirits. Sometimes opposites attract, but you are like two peas in a pod. It probably takes a while for you guys to figure out where your going out for dinner. LOL. Have I got you pegged? She is 7yrs older than you?

Found this to be interesting. http://sound.westhost.com/bi-amp.htm So far my 2way speakers sound so much better with active equalization vs passive I'm thinking it might have to be a permanent setup. An active xover is just so versatile, I can't give it up! Not to mention how much fun playing around with the different settings can be. I'm just spoiled rotten I guess.

You mention ringing. I thought only the metal horns ringed. Can other horn materials ring too? Interesting project.
