Full Range

Just tested it for you mate Same result even after logging in My search was also via Google

Daughters new puppy - How cute is he It's a mix of Labrador and Beagle

My speakers are fitted with the 399A Great Plains drivers Sound bloody fantastic Made in the modern way with old school materials based on the Altec Lansing design heritage Not sure if they have 2" drivers but worth a look and a read http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/hf_drivers.html

Good bit of reading on the subject we are discussing Well I believe my crossover build falls within the North Creek preferred parameters for foil application That being the foil inductors are only fitted to the mid range and tweeter sections Furthermore the midrange also has a primary solid 3mm copper coil before the foil coil so it's a series inductor Weather by design or a guesstimate - Glad I am doing something right ( I think ?)

Thanks for your expert clarification of how an item is treated in manufacture can affect it's performance I forgot to mention that I used the Jantzen wax foil coils in my crossovers for the very way they were treated with wax in there manufacture

Where are you seeing this "trend"? Google it.There are a lot of companies pushing foils as the best choice. I also saw in one of the threads here on the forums one member removed the Litz in favor of Foil. Seems like a step backwards. I have a few but quit using them because Hepa Litz performed better for my application. ALK and I have been running a few tests, seems although the Litz has the highest Q , the Foils came in second. Both were a far cry better than solid for HF. Dave You mentioned a member changing from Litz to foil inductors That would be me - but a little context is in order All my speaker drivers fitted to the La Scalas differ from original and fitting foil inductors was an experiment to see if I could get some more definition from the mid and high range As you indicated in your post - it's what suits ones application The change to foil inductors were also made in conjunction with other components so the build has to be seen as a recipe of many ingredients The end result is delicious

My 2 cents on this subject Measurements are necessary and I believe invaluable in raw data to get one to the final result quicker It measures the htz parameters thank you very much However the data can be flawed when one tries to set a preferred sound signature (EQ) in a room only with measurements Many things can corrupt that measurement The worst offender is the software - The modelling data assumes to much or not enough - of what an ear can and can't do Then there is the room dynamics Then the persons musical taste preference and how one actually listens to music And last but not least the marriage of all the components used Not withstanding that - what one person likes another may not - ( similar to food ) The ear in conjunction with the other senses have the last say to ones individual preference

I pissed myself laughing at the - Call A Priest - line for a good 15 minutes That's classic and congrats at getting closer to Nirvana

Watch it - Because he is normally on security duty

What breed is your dog? He is an Irish Terrier In May 2014 here was invited to a wedding and got dressed up for it

Thanks Stew - much appreciated Have a look at my threads and in the Gallery for more photos

Very good Arash The better you prepare the ply finish under the veneer the better the finish will be on the surface Also be careful with glue ripples underneath the veneer as it will show on the surface You may also consider pre glued veneer - this has heat activated glue and can make the job easier I am sure glue formulas have come a long way and this type of product may prove to be superior I recommend that you do some research

We call that laminated timber Arash It's commonly used as kitchen timber tops A word of warning - it will buckle and warp unless it's either framed or is sitting on a frame It needs to be supported

It depends on the wood Hardwoods will crack as they age If you want stable wood then quality furniture woods are best but very very expensive For stability reasons I will also recommend ply or high density MDF, or a combination of both I would also recommend double thickness up to 50mm

My dog likes to listen to music with me We. both like listening to King Crimson

That shape reminds me of some machinery from my steel making days but I just can't recall at the moment

You then need to see this and it will relax you ( or not )

Thanks Arash I was in two minds on which Jantzen capacitors to use on the tweeter section Silver or Superior Z and chose the Z to have the same sonics as the mid range The wax inductor coils have also made some smoother seamless improvements at the crossover points You just know when it's been well implemented, and the speakers just disappear

OK another photo update Not sure if this will be the final position I am also contemplating some sort of Perspex cover

I have a question Dean G Where can one obtain those saddle straps that you have used on the square Jupiter capacitors Many thanks in advance

Let me chime in here as I have just recently had a professional make & completed some judicious upgrade's to my new La Scala crossovers Systems rely on a good marriage of many parts and how those parts interact with one another One of those component parts is ourselves and how we interact with what's playing and most importantly on how we actually listen My background in my younger days was with local bands in the form of setup, tune instruments by ear, sound checks and help in recording sessions I can tell you that lots of people just don't know how to listen and I can relate on what Dean is alluding to Although with my background in live music I thought I was a good judge of sound But on one fateful day a good friend that was a member in a national orchestra taught me how to listen deeply One day I may divulge what I learnt over a 2 hour conversation Yes you can remember what you like and what you don't like and try to to get as much like as possible with tweaks and changes
