Are you buying them from him directly or is he going to put them on eBay for you to purchase?

ALK - CSW Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk -
SOLD-SOLD-SOLD I just purchased these. They took 3 months to get here. During that 3 months I have purchased a set that was designed for my Cornscalas and my listening habits specifically. I am sure you know about these already if you are reading this. I have about 1 Hour on them. I wanted to do a comparison with the other 2 crossovers I have. I paid $358.18 that included shipping and 3 months of wait time. I'll let them go for $325 shipping included and no 3 month wait time to the lower 48 states.

I am running tube gear so evaluations are done over a period of time vs swapping crossovers every 5 minutes. I take notes on songs that do things right and do things wrong and then repeat for the other crossover on a different night. Then compare notes. These 3 crossovers are different enough in parts and design that the sound signatures of each network is pretty obvious, but I expected that. The only way they should sound the same is if all 3 of them are the same exact networks with the same exact parts, but with different fancy names on each one. Like CornScal-Wall, or Dean's funky fresh networks, or Crites Cosmic Crossover (also known as the CCC Network) @Deang @BEC you guys are welcome for the names to your newest networks. I am a believer in rooms and its contents absolutely make a difference. -

Did you check Wendell Fabrics? I know they will send free samples because I have 5 of them on the way for my Cornscalas 😁

It's crazy hearing them break in. ALK networks should be here Thursday. I'll get to mess with them this weekend. Im running my sub off of one of the 3 outputs on my preamp. It's not a dedicated subout. Its full signal out to the sub. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk -
This is a good unit and can even be upgraded down the road if you like. I had 2 and did the Lesbox mod. Thats a great price! GLWTS

Well crossovers installed. I have somewhere between 10-15 hours on them. 1st I am a believer in breakin. They had a thick almost fuzzy sound initially. Then a thin sound after a few hours and now they have settled in to what I believe will be the final change/sound. Here is a quick comparison to the Crites and a picture side by side. Keep in mind my room is small 11X12.5 and your room may change things, and Deang crossovers vs. Crites are not the same cost. The Crites - A bit forward sounding. At low volumes I like the Crites. Detailed but not warm. Good soundstage at low volume. When the volume is turned up some they are too in your face sounding for me. This may be due to the small room. I wish the bass was more present. Deang crossovers- They are more balanced to me. At low volumes they are less detailed than I would like but just a small amount of volume and they really open up. Its nice to be able to really open the Cornscalas up and be able to enjoy them. I run my Cornscalas with a small B&W 10" sub. Previously the sub gain was at about 75% and now it is around 25%. While the bass is more pronounced, but the biggest gain here is the mids and highs. They are so smooth. The issue I have always had with horns is the harshness they can produce. I had it in the La Scalas before I sold them, and a little in the Cornscalas before the Deang crossovers. That is almost all but gone now. It's crazy to finally hear a horn and feel it has a smooth detailed sound. The music is more engaging now and I am starting to spend more time enjoying the music vs. picking out what needs to be changed. Happy with the purchase for sure. It's good to have options on crossovers like this. I have ALK crossovers that should be here this week. I am running all tube gear in to them : Tube DAC 12AH7 - Tube Preamp 6SL7- Tube Amp KT88,12AU7,12AT7 -
I'd be in on a set as well. Assuming he will send measurements and mock up design first. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
