jamesV Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Very nice setup. Also would be interested in the listening party and would be happy to bring something to the party. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 When I moved the K510 horns to the very front of the La Scala cabinets, with stands that provided a flush surface, there was a slight but noticeable improvement in vocal clarity.

Invidiosulus Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Oh no!!! What happened to that beautiful gray pickled finish? It is no longer my favorite colour, although it does look really nice. -josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Awesome Belle center Steve. It kind of looks like a prettied up baby Jubilee? Very cool too that you were involved in getting 2 pair of MCM stacks outside doing what they do best. I had a great time at the 2009 Teen Arts and Musical Festival we helped Michael with. That'd be fun to do again though I think Michael has said his MCM stack probably wouldn't travel again. That said, hes' working on rebuilding his KP600 stack. I'd be in for a listening party. I'm not real close to Chicago but maybe 3-1/2 hours so not too bad of a day trip even. Grew up 2 hour drive from the loop where my brother still lives - about 1 mile off US 30 about an hour east of I65 and US30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 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. Ya, I was wondering the same thing. If the tweeter is up high enough, is it possible that the sound would fire over the top of the cabinet and not have that bounce issue? (except at the lower frequencies where it loses pattern control). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyi Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 gorgeous build! - what do you think of its sound overall? asssuming K will sell (?) - how expensive are K510? (I've only khorn and Heresy - no Belle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I have posted my pic of my tweeter on top of my LS before, but I found having the tweeter driver aligned with the mid driver really helped the imaging a lot. I think that is probably more important than the mid aligned with the woofer.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyi Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 tweeter at midhorn driver plane = that's the way my khorn were run in the late 1980's (w. Edgar's 250/LE5 tractrix) and the way my FH1/511B will be run soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrpwr Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 It has been modified to a passive crossover now, It works much better than before. Outfitted with a Delgado/Crites Xover it blends with the Jubilees perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
