@Schu Michael, beautiful man. Congratulations and enjoy. That Australian walnut is gorgeous. And no shipping damage WOO HOO!!

I finally figured out what the heck the meters on the front panel of the Xilica unit are indicating. They are calibrated as minus dB from 0dBFS. And 0dBFS for them is +20 dBu. I could not find this anywhere in their documentation. The meters in the XConsole GUI are clearly labeled as reading in dBu. And BTW Kent is no longer with Xilica. I hope it has nothing to do with the info he provided me.

Uranus too

^true dat

Still a little early here, but an ice cold one(or 3) of these await me at home. It makes me hoppy

OK I reread Dean's post several times and its sinking in. I believe ALK always says you cannot take the inductance of the woofer's voice coil out of the equation either. So between the horn itself and the inductance of the woofer there is a "nautral" for lack of a better term low pass filter in the woofer circuit already.

Or spontaneous generation

So your woofers have been running full range for however long its been since you removed said parts. Hmmmmm.... I'm no expert by any means but this can't be a good thing. Otherwise PWK would have left the inductor out(they cost money).

Curious here. And ignorant. What do the red as opposed to the grey curves represent?

@rplace so did you verify that the woofer filter inside the bass bin is still intact?

Ah yes it is so wonderful. It is way to easy for me to get to happy with the volume control when I'm listening alone (no conversation going on). It's SO CLEAN. Like I said wonderful.... But only for short periods.

Yep.

Thanks for this. I'm trying to get going with this. It is really hard for me to spend time in the summer doing this.

Take one of your children with you. You'll be a shoe in. And make sure you send all the money you make down there back here to me cuz you'll be living free off the Mexican taxpayers.

How do you know this? Cuz the Moody Blues said so?

Yea we're all gods pieces of dung.

Yes it's a damn shame when the first time you hear "no" in your life it's from a policeman.

Las Vegas... Mexico pretty much. Mexicans claim we "stole" this part of the country from them. Often they need to be shown the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Leave it to the Chinese to take a 100 yr old proven connector and "improve" it or not manufacture it correctly and ship it to America anyway. If you're going to move on to something that works make sure you throw those in your car so the next time you go by Best Buy you can get your money back.

Ms. Ruth has a way of looking at things that reminds me that to us we all have an awesome set(or multiple sets) of speakers. To her it's a JOB.

A banana plug that is not a banana plug? Huh? Did you try crimping down the the little tines that look like the peel of a banana(hence the name) with a pair of pliers? Just close them down a little bit not until they are flat.

Some Parts Are Meat

What's all this chitter chatter, I can't give it away on 7th avenue......
