Coytee Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Looks a bit like the Shuar (head shrinkers) got to it and we can now call it a BelleTsantsa? [:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 That looks very effective, and the colour goes well with the colour of the wall. As Coytee mentioned, it likely is the first Belle/510 combo. What's keeping the 510 from falling on its face? I'm using 510s on my La Scalas (making them 510 JubScalas) and I'm using custom-made Plexiglas stands to support them, as you can see in my avatar. That's the Right speaker.

fyrpwr Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 It sounds very good, Big upgrade from trachorn setup that was in the Belle before. It matches the Jubilees in looks almost ( i cant paint it black } and performance as a center channel, The horn is mounted to a granite base with the KPT-904 mount, it is adjustable and very strong. The Belle has a K-43 woofer for power handling,Crossed out to the sub at 60hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebse2a3 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Very nice Steve! I like the way you placed the Klipsch tag under the K510.[Y] mike tn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrpwr Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 I will be trying to get a date setup before xmas, The stack was used for a benefit during the summer, Rain forced us not to spread them out. So we snapped them together and ran mono, a single CE4000 and BEC xovers did the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwingylee Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Steve: I heard your Jubs and know how amazing they sound......mine are now a work in progress.

Don Richard Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Lookin' good and soundin' good... the best of both worlds. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm curious.... is the front of the horn flush with the front of the speaker or is it pulled back to the middle or maybe rear of the speaker? I can't really tell by the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrpwr Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I set it back some , It looks better. Timing was changed for this on the XTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I don't know if it would make a noticable difference or not but I would have thought if the horn was pushed back, the top of the speaker (or the base under the horn) would end up bouncing some of the sound in a way that (in a perfect world) you might not want. What do they call that, edge diffraction or something? If the horn was brought out to the front plane of the speaker then this bounce wouldn't happen. I don't know how much if any, that might be noticable. I think it looks nice so it's just a thought for you to play around with. Here's another thought (I'm looking to do with my LaScala) Rather than leave the horn totally exposed, what if you built an enclosure for it where the enclosure matches the original top of the Belle?

fyrpwr Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 I was going for the industrial match look for Jubilee, I did think about the hidden enclosure. If i was still using Khorns When the horn was out in front it was looking in your face to me IMO, Looks are important to me as well. I drilled the granite offset so when the top and horn is rotated, The horn will be flush with the front of the Belle bass bin. Still trying to decide, I am going to wait to get some other opnions.
