I have an old K400 horn that has a 3/32" hump in the middle of the inside. What interesting is this is from the cut-a-way that was sent to dealers to show off the construction of the Khorn to potential customers. Greg

Very nice! Keep the pictures coming. Greg

It's basically just like the Cornwall, and it tests about the same. Greg

I finally have a webpage up for these speakers. www.voltiaudio.com/alura.shtml I also finally named them. Alura. Greg

I was looking at those the other day. I would love to try a pair. BTW, I use the model 3636, not that it makes much difference for this discussion. Greg

and another.

Thank you. Here's another picture. Greg

Really a great show. Been watching every episode. Anyone else think that Daryl is getting a little tired of it? It seems to me that he had more energy in the earlier episodes. Greg

That's one of the Wendell Fabrics acoustic cloths - 4163 I think. www.wendellfabrics.com Greg

Here's what I did with the mid horn and tweeter. The mid horn mouth takes up the whole top grill section. Greg

Thank you everyone. I didn't take many pictures of the build process, just haven't had the time lately. Sorry. The bass sections are built with 1" Baltic Birch and the top sections are 3/4" and more or less permanently mounted. The top sections are open on the back (pic below). The bass sections do extend up into the upper riser to provide a bit more volume, which helped keep the cabinet size a bit smaller. I didn't use the space in the bottom riser because I felt it might screw up the porting with the opening from the cabinet to the bottom riser area. Greg

Fnished them up over the weekend and my customer picked them up today. Greg

Very nice work! I can't believe you veneered all the way inside the LS. What did you use to glue the veneer on? Greg

Looks great Nat! Greg

That's a cool video. I remember when you told me about this a while back, we were talking about the idea of using a glass of water to show the vibrations. I can attest to the effectiveness of isolation. Not so much with Super Balls, because I haven't tried those, but I use cone shaped feet, and it's still amazing to me how it affects the imaging of my system when used under my DAC. Doesn't do so much under the transport, but under the DAC really makes a difference. Greg

Fellow JFL Horus amp owner here. Jeff told me that my amps would put out 1.8wpc. Beautiful sounding amps. I don't think I could ever part with them. Greg

Congrats to the Packers from a long time Steelers fan. Steelers had too many mistakes tonight, plus Ben just didn't look like he was playing his best ball. Greg

I think your speakers are still Klipsch Heresy speakers. Greg

You're welcome. They came out great. I dig the cane too. Greg

Try placing shims under them in just the right areas, and put weights on them (books) to bend them in the opposite direction of the warping by at least as much, if not more than the amount they are warped, and leave them like that for a while. They may come out of it. Greg

Can I come hear it? Greg

Here's that double-V look I was talking about, used in a "Voltiscala". Greg

I have been asked many times over the years to provide braces for Do-It-Yourselfers to install in La Scala bass horns to reduce the known resonances with the large unbraced sides of the horn. But I've been reluctant to do this because each brace needs to be fitted individually to each side of the LS bass horn, and installing them is a nasty job. I'm still wary of doing this, but since I was making some braces for a project anyway, I decided to make a few more, and I've got a couple of sets available if someone wants to tackle this job. I also have made some extra grill frames used to cover the braces and create the double-V look that I've used in some of my modified La Scala speakers. More information and pictures here on my website www.voltiaudio.com/lascalabraces.shtml Greg

You did a nice job with that. I can attest to how difficult it is to match walnut edgebanding to the veneer on Khorns. The one pair I tried it on? I gave up and re-veneered the entire cabinet! Greg

Wow, thank you so much Marty! That is exactly the information I was looking for. It's basically just like the La Scala, only the barrier strip is not visible, it's below the tophat in the riser area. Greg
