thank you, I have been considering building dual driver horn loaded speakers. 2 1 or 2 inch tweeters 2 5 inch midranges 2 15 inch woofers this ofcorse would require..... more money than I have... but good or bad idea? What kind of drier would you reccomend for midrange? I noticed you werent to fond of cone drivers. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1264616030 Found this on Ebay, was wondering if it was worth the 100 bucks. or trying to bid for it if the Buy now is gone. I could always mount a good Piezo tweeter from RAdio shack on them. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

I am undertaking a new project. And that is building my own horns. So, far I have built 1 prototype at my dads. It was designed for this crappy speaker from a 10$ boom box that i took apart, just to see if it would actualy amplify the sound....... it did The one I built I built it .... for a mid range. the end where the speaker goes, is 3 inchs by 3 inches. The big opening on the other side, measures 31 inches across, 11.5 inches tall.With all those sides rounded out. Now that I know it will work, I would like to make another one, well 3 actualy, 2 with the same design, and one for the subwoofer. I will still be using the same crappy materials though, because its free. The sides are made out of ... what were 2 by 12's, and the top and bottom were made out of crappy plywood. Here is what I was considering using *and where questions come in: For Midrange: a 4-5 inch driver Is this a good size, or should I go smaller? And could you recomend some good speakers that arnt real expensive? For Subwoofer: a 10-15 inch subwoofer from Radio Shack. What size do you think would be best? and can you recomend any other good ones to use. For Tweeter: Thats a toughy, should I go with a good 1 inch tweeter? or go with like a 3 inch tweeter? OR just buy one of the 2 by 6 horn tweeters from radioshack (already have 1) and add on to it? But, I think using RAdioshack speakers would be the best, since they already limit what frequencies they respond to, and I wouldnt have to deal with getting crossovers. If I did though, I would like to get any one of the Heritage line speakers crossovers. However, till I get the new speakers, I will be using the speakers out of my Fishers. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

Thanks guyz, Its still however a good chance that I may get those KLH's. Yes they arnt the greatest, but they arnt horrible. Possibly about the same level as my Fishers. But for 100$ a pair, I think it would be kool to have them. Jo-Jo still hasnt gotten any heresys unfortionaly, and probobly wont be for awhile. If I dont get my Pro Medias back from my dad any time soon, I may get those KLH's but, even then I would need to get a Amp also. Have been looking at this sony reciever, stereo with A and B switches. 150$ But, if my uncle danny gets into town soon, my dad will get his reciever fixed, then he may still upgrade his speakers, and if he does that I will suggest to him to upgrade his Amp. Will be pointing him twards RF-3's new from Hillcrest. And maby a Pioneer Elite 2 Channel Amp. that cost 200$. But if he does that, he will be giving me his Kenwood speakers and his reciever. So then I would have 2 large floor standing Kenwoods, my floor standing Fishers each with 12" woofers I believe. and a Kenwood Reciever (100 watt per channel) front, rear and center cannels. BAH!, this is annoying. I wont a powerful system..... something descent and loud and not very expensive. aHHH!! ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

Well, I have been considering buying a new pair of speakers. currently considering some KLH 9912's, since they are only 100 bucks a pair. http://www.klhaudio.com/prodfloor9912.htm I would be testing on some other speakers first if possible, but I was wondering how, if it is possible, I could replace the magnets with bigger magnets, and replace the voice coils with larger voice coils. would this make a big improvement? worth it? ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

Might I recomend 2 SVS CS-Ultras. Just ask Horn Ed, he'll tell ya. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

Very cool Horn Ed. Where you live? I think I'm gonig to come visit you when I get my car Questions: How low do the SVS's go? Is the transition with the SVS and the KLF' as smooth as it was with out the SVS's just running the KLF subs? Can I have one? ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

Oh, ment to say also KLF-10's if found cheap, and a Klipsch Subwoofer may be able to keep you under 1,500. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

Lol this is ammusing ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

If you could find some KLF-10's for cheaper those would also make good rears. If you dont have a sub... you'd be best to get one of them. As boa said, you can do about 500 on a nice Klipsch or do the whole 1500 on a Velodyne. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

i've heard the RF-7's and the RF-3's Both are good speakers. Depends on how much you wanna spend though I dont think the RF-5's are worth the 1500$ pricetag, 700$ increase over the RF-3's you would have a better match and it would cost you alot less to get a pair of RF-3's But with the money you would be saving you could get 2 pairs of RF-3's and replace your Fronts and your Rears. But, I would keep the Forte's personaly. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

Pioneer Elite is NOT the best I have seen many of them. at 4 different stores. And NO. they are NOT the best. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

I wanna know what warrents the 700$ price increase from the RF-3 to the RF-5. Both have 8 inch Woofers, both have 1 inch Tweeter drivers. Things that are different. Hi Freq cut off. Twetter driver design 8 inch horn instead of a 7 inch horn. I DO NOT see anything worth 700$ ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds

But I thought the louder a speaker got the better it was. Loudness = Quality right? The more Wattage the better..... am I wrong? You know, them bose cubes are great, They are small take up little space, and get loud. Correct me if I am wrong. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds
