  1. I told Roy it would be cool if they could come up with names that PWK would think of, but who knows really.
  2. Well the 1802 and 1502 are also patented and when tuned can go as deep, but you have to realize that even the 1502 is roughly the size of 2 of the largest of the new subs. So your right the previous designs take up MUCH more space which rule them out for most people/rooms so these designs are special with the performance VS size differences. 1502 here and performance yes but at a steep tradeoff of double the size compared to what will come out, so this will be a big deal, anyone can fit one of these 4 new subs. But room size is no problem so I really love my sub, I but could easily see where many would consider the new designs with a size for any room and still keep the performance. They will be a big hit and go down as a true Heritage product in years to come.
  3. Yes it is, I press buttons knowing others worked out the hard parts, and the music plays and I am happy. It's what I depend on.
  4. I can't say not hearing a AL-5. But as far as being clean and extremely low distortion as part of the "airy" I would say these are a good match with no loss in quality. A good match for any Heritage which are known for many really good quality's. IMO I did not want to say much with so many here more qualified to speak about what they heard. I only did because I was very impressed. Technically anyone who heard them can explain better than me, I leave the how to those who know, I prefer to press some buttons and hear great music.
  5. Honestly with these designs driver size is not noticeable at all in output or sound, unlike any other subs I have heard. It is all about the cabinet design, Roy talked about how different drivers in size and design made little difference. The vented horn design was what was causing the tuning more than any other sub. All 4 have different drivers and different ports amounts and placement of the ports. Sounded like it was like designing 4 different subs from the way he explained, same principle with changes for each.
  6. Please follow this link, it's the latest reports of people listening to these subs.
  7. Exactly and after all these years of people asking for a Heritage sub to see some designed and sounding so good is a great thing, this will match the quality of the best of heritage speakers with no lack of sound quality which is a feat in itself.
  8. I have no idea, but I will say either the 2 and 3 or 4 size (no names yet) would be enough for about any Heritage speaker unless you normally play at insane levels trying to go deaf but these will help with that also. Very much so, this was one thing I did not really understand, but it was explained with many other things, explained where it could be understood which was great. I usually do not care about the how things work technically as long as they do so I trust people like Roy and others when I have questions, but this weekend taught me many things about why in a way that's easy to understand in the overall picture. I use a very capable sub and was VERY impressed with all of these subs, no BS. One thing I have never noticed before was at one point Roy had the volume so low you could not tell what was even playing as he was talking. But the sub was still loading the room and you could slightly hear the bass but could feel it to the point that If I had known the song I would have known what it was just from the deepest bass notes. I was in the back row but it was the whole room as I was not the only one who noticed it. Made me want to come home and try these test tracts because it was impressive, you normally expect to have a little volume at least to load a room like that. Hearing the new Heritage Jubes was also a shock for me set up in a proper listening environment. I did not expect that much of an improvement from the originals but it is an amazing improvement and have I have heard the originals for many hours. Very impressive and also NO need for a sub, again in the teens, real full range speakers. Both the 4 new subs and the new Jubes were way more than I expected, VERY clean and effortless sounding. I told Roy when these subs get out to customers and people start talking about them after hearing at home it is really going to take off in a hurry. This is NOT your normal direct radiator sub sound in any way, when you hear music with steady mid sounds in the teens and there are no odd sounds just clean smooth reproductions it stands out quickly. IMO OK that's enough, I had not planned on saying anything much with all the people who could explain much better then me but I was impressed to the point where I had to say something. Truly impressed, you will hear much more as people get these at home, people wanted good Heritage subs for a long time and it is now going to happen with ease and style. Good Job Roy impressive

    mmmm the best part, I like my iodine fried. Sardines are good but I would never eat a oyster from a can. 🤢 We were at Rodney's once and he was cooking salmon, before he started I cut a nice piece and just started eating it, they all kind of freaked out so I did it again, I love salmon or tuna. Salmon kind of taste like really good raw beef, very close in taste.

    We put them in the freezer and just left out some to cook last night since they were fresh. I love sushi, but never tried shrimp probably not good ? Now Ceviche is another story almost any seafood would work.

    Well on the same theme, well it is white shrimp season with good prices. 21-30 at $1.25 a pound, this is 40 pounds.
  13. Yes it is, very nice. And great looking boxes, very nice work. And it's fun, slow but fun.

    That says it best it seems. Sorry to hear this.
  15. Never been to one, but they make the commercials look good. But then again the burger places make the burgers look like nothing I have ever had at any of them.
  16. If it was two needed you could build your own rack. He knows and works with a guy, when looking in a mirror they look the same. He is a bonehead. old picture
  17. I would think for the new ones, if I were him that's what I would do for sure.
  18. Not yet, he wanted to run his Jubes with them but never got his jubes yet. 😮 Just never got around to ordering them yet, or putting in a work order is probably closer to what will happen. I know he is always busy with work and visiting his parents, not even counting everything we expect him to do to help us organize the museum. We stay on his butt with the last one.
  19. I really liked the sound as much as any amp I tried. The speakers it was used with was very efficient, very close to the most efficient speakers Klipsch makes and it was dead quiet. MWM with 402 top horns, you could put your head in the 402 between songs and hear no noise or hiss of any kind. I now use something else only because one of the amps started making a noise, it was from the amp itself not through the speakers. It is the only reason I don't use them, gave them to a friend who wants to rebuild them.

    Just noticed this thread again This should clog up an artery. Shrimp, butter, 1 head of garlic, fine chopped onion, salt and pepper and a tiny bit of Old Bay. The shrimp made a bunch of that liquid, but I did put to much butter. Made wraps with it with spinach, diced tomatoes with a little lemon.
  21. Well it was worth a shot, hope you find the answer. I have not had any experience with crossovers failing, even had some old AA models leaking oil from the caps and they still played. Good luck and hope it is simple.
  22. Yes, I had this happen to a midrange before. Disconnected the wires to the driver cleaned them up and it worked. They were tight and no signs of a problem but just didn't make contact somehow, looked fine but no contact, how I don't know as tight as they were.
  23. I think closer to a rectangle, and yes xlarge, the small is smaller than I expected.
  24. Check if woofers are working, if so no reason to change them. Unless blown no reason to change. If crossovers are bad just change out the caps with original values. I would guess all is OK, but new caps would probably improve the sound it did for me. Cool collection your friend left you, very nice of him to do that.
