    Altec, Great Plains 604 speakers, Stonehenge 3/5

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Hi, just built!  Magnificent looking and sounding Stonehenge 3/5 hybrid speaker.  Basically the exact volume as the 3 but with what I believe to be improvements based on the 5 version, mainly being the port size and location, along with bracing improvements.   Double thick front baffle, all Russian birch cabs. Gorgeous American walnut veneer, Heavily braced.   Drivers are the magnificent Great Plains 604 8h drivers along with the GP crossovers specifically made for these drivers in this cabinet!   You can read about them on the site.   This is a completely modern version of this already amazing speaker.   This was a labor of love, and as you can see from the pics, I built a cabinet worthy of this design.  The speakers sound sublime!    This is the speaker of a lifetime for some lucky person?   Let me know if you interested?     $ 5500.00 this is a steal!   I have these listed elsewhere so I’m sure they won’t last?   Questions?    
     

    best,  jon

    Are you a cabinet maker in real life?  I only ask because of the professional level of work on these...  Simply fantastic!

     

    Yea, I have been building speakers for over 25 years.  Getting pretty good at it.

    Well I have a pair of speakers that I absolutely love. That said, if you were in driving distance I would give these a shot. They look too good not to sound simply amazing.

    I have never done this before on any site--but I gotta say, in a just saying kind of way, because I do not know you from Adam--WOW!  I a cab admirer in general; and you, Sir, know thy craft, and then some!  Advanced member, indeed.  I'm a lurker but follow this great site.  You are not immodest; I have never seen this artful a build.

    Thanks,  Yea, it is a very well made cabinet!  I have never seen a cornscala built this well on the site?     They sound amazing also :)

    Fine looking pair of speakers there. I don't doubt the weight looking at the layers in the first pic, don't like resonance huh?

    Location and an asking price might help you move them, good luck.

    Yep newer members are limited in pics.

    There are other options, I use postimage.

      funny thing is that I have posted many pics before and never had a problem?  It also says I have plenty of space left??  Strange?

    So, I posted the parts for these a while ago, but had a lot of interest in not only the parts but the cabs also.    I was going to keep the cabs, but they are just too huge, and because of all the speakers in the house, my wife started looking at me funny.  Anyway, I built a couple pairs of these.  I usually build 2 pairs of every project so I can use one to tweak, and then keep the final incarnation.  This was the first pair I built and then I did one in all maple.  These are the ones i tried several different drivers in, and decided to sell them with all the parts I offered a while back.  These have the crites cast frame woofers, and I had AL at ALK build me some APL600, and ES5800 crossovers for them.  Also built the Eliptrac 400 horns and tweeters.  Midrange is B&C 250 and Tweeter is B&C also.  Really no expense was spared on these incredible speakers.  The cabs as you can see, are of very high caliber, and more than likely some of the best Cornscala cabs made?  IMHO.   I built them so I am partial of course ; )

     

    I have decided to sell the complete speaker.  They sound magnificent as many of you can imagine.  The one word that comes to mind with these speakers is  "Prodigious"    

     

    They will fill a VERY large room with very little wattage and sound like a live band doing it!  I love JAZZ and these certainly excel in that category.   I also built very nice grills for these that are included.

     

    I am willing to ship these but only at the buyers expense.  They are very heavy, I built them to last a lifetime.  About 180lbs each.    I did the fronts in textured black paint, which looks pretty cool I think, also easy to touch up.  Baffles, and walls are 1.5".   I refinished the tops and finished them in a non stainable finish because my wife was always putting stuff on them.  It looks good, and it is very durable.

     

    Sorry for being long winded but I am trying to answer most questions, and be as detailed as possible.   

     

    These are very fine horn speakers and I am very happy with how they came out.  I am quite sure whoever buys them will feel the same.

     

    Please feel free to call if your interested.  559-994-1398.

     

    Regards,  Jon

    Cornscala/ Cornwall parts

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    I am selling a full set of drivers and crossovers for hugely upgraded pair of cornscalas.   I built 2 pairs of parts for the 2 pairs of cornscalas that I built, look up my name and you can see pictures of them?  I am keeping one pair and selling the other.  I will sell cabinets locally, because they are beasts, over 150lbs each and huge.  Crossovers are the ALK AP12-600 and ES-5800 designed for the exact drivers I am offering.

     

    The woofers are the Crites 15" Cast frame, the midranges are the B&C DE-85TN, and the Tweeters are the B&C DE-10.    I also have a pair of B&C 15PS100 woofers that are brand new that worked very very well in this with these crossovers, so you can take your pic on the woofers.  Also, the tweeters come with the Eliptrac wave guide.  

     

    This setup will cost well over 2000 to have built and shipped to you.

     

    I will sell for 1350 shipped for the parts.

     

    Regards,,Jon
