Fair enough Good of you to clarify
-
Ask my ears what they like best ? And they will answer For the room the speakers are installed - we like the La Scalas better with the bass box mod Some things are what they are - they work or they don't A modification can only be proved or debunked if it's built and implemented to test - simple as that Question - Do you think the bass box would still be fitted to my speakers if the sound was worse

Very nice project that is similar to my La Scalas Difference from yours would be in the port length as I currently have 11" with the Crites 15" cast The bass bin makes a huge impact in the lower register

A Crossover Design on Single Exposed Board
Full Range replied to Full Range's topic in Technical/Restorations
I have made several observations after a break in period between the two capacitor types I have had two good listening sessions since the Jantzen capacitor change However about 40 hours of music has gone through the system to settle in the new capasitors Fortunately the crossovers are fitted with attenuation in the mid range and tweeter section so I can tweak the db output to suit my room acoustics ect So on to a description of my listening experience Finally attenuation set on - Tweet on -5 db - Midrange - 11 db ( it sounds nice from 9 db to 12 db ) These atenuator settings have just the right and pleasing mix I like best for the room the system is set up in, but I change them to suit the material I am playing Bass - Apart from the defined sound that we can hear - The bass presentation is fast and defined and also fuller longer notes at the same time, Bass also acts like a vibrating wave machine, the sound waves just bore into the body , furniture and walls ect Mid Range - This section has had the biggest perceptible change The soundstage is more expanded and I explain it in this way - Notes start sharply and finish when the sound wave energy is depleted - drums, triangles , guitar strings, violin, piano, horns, breaking glass sounds ect - the notes just hang there if they are in the recording Tweeter - Top end at first was not as clinical as before but as the caps have settled in the top end is now very sharp and subtly more musical kinda fuller but very sharp at the same time ( hard to find a word of explanation for it ) If one could see the sound waves you could describe them as hugging the listener That's al I have in my report as I have written it as I was listening and describing my impressions for you as I listen in real time -
A Crossover Design on Single Exposed Board
Full Range replied to Full Range's topic in Technical/Restorations
Hi folks Just another quick update - As its been previously posted about the custom crossover build I have decided to make one small but expensive change on the capacitors I have decided to change over the Sonicap capacitors (white) and replace them with Jentzen Superior Z caps In this crossover build design , the Sonicaps feed the mid and tweeter. So in effect their about the most critical caps in the whole xover. This is the size difference of the two prior to fitting And this after -

It does look cool I would say that I stopped at least 200 feet from the building and was fortunate to be going past just at the right time of day for great light

I was on a job in a hinterland location and stopped while traveling to the site and stopped in the middle of the road to take this photo

Great build - I have often contemplated a similar build I would like to read about your listening test impressions please and did you work off an available schematic ?
-
I would also like to see a Jubilee added to that lineup

Go all the way and update all that your budget will allow And I would also recommend that you do some basic maintenance now

Here you go - have a look at this thread first ( it's more than a La Scala bass bin thread ) and if you have any questions just ask https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/108425-la-scala-bass-reflex-mod/

I was thinking about this subject all week And I don't believe there are any real plans available Then I thought about an Eliptrac version of the K402 Don't think Dave would do it but if he did I would buy a pair Come on Dave how about it

Yes, I've gotta agree with the member consensus Bloody awesome job mate Now get those drivers & crossovers in quick smart and enjoy the music

Good eye. I also love found patterns. I look for them everywhere when I have my camera with me. The moment you create an edge around a pattern, you have an abstraction that expands it's possible meaning. Do you have others? I have taken a few Here are some more

I am blessed to have my highly tweaked La Scalas They just make me happy listening to them every time I play music, and that's just about every day However I have been known to say that I would only swap for a pair Jubilee's But the K - 402 horn suggestions above are giving me ideas
