Stevenarrow Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 hello, this is coming a little late, but work and personal issues prevented finishing the horns for many weeks. BUT, I am pleased to share that I got them up and running yesterday as a 3-way. There is still a fair amount to be desired due to the imperfect XO. but there is definitely reason to be excited. I have just put in the order for the Faital Pro HF200 driver and 500Hz crossover. More to come, as the weather in Vancouver has turned to soggy, and I am sure to spend the next 16 weeks in doors... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arash Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 If I were you I would place that mid-range horn in the middle of the bass-bin and tweeter in level with mid-horn throat. time-alignment is a "must" IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's the BMS co-ax, so it's quasi time-aligned. Made the HF section removeable so other horns may be tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick J B Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Cool. As to the type of wood used in the original photo, it has grain like walnut, but seems too light in color (tho photos can be funny) so I thought of Butternut, but I doubt Klipsch used that. I think its an odd photo. Its an open grain hardwood, so cherry, maple and birch are out, yet its quite light for walnut,......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick J B Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Nasty phone photo: (I think) They came out well, and they sound fantastic! So, Dennis, are you going to share what horns/drivers you used up top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is simple birch ply with 3 coats of Watco Natural Danish oil rubbed on with 320-400 grit sandpaper. Let it dry a week, and then a light rub with 000 steel wool. I am getting a little anxious with drivers and XO... both ALK and Bob C are back ordered... I'd love to get this up and running as a 2-way as soon as possible...!

Stevenarrow Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 also, I am loving the 'open horn' look on top... having less wood and boxes, certainly makes them feel smaller than a full pair of Belles. I think the light colour and lack of dark grills helps too. It's kinda cool to be able to see all the way back into the horn fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 " Dennis, are you going to share what horns/drivers you used up top?" Elliptrac + BMS 4590 (co-ax).

Stevenarrow Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Still running these less than perfect with my old Cornscala parts. But I am very impressed with the overall so far. The 1" box and braces are very good. Excellent low end compared to stock Belles and LaScalas. Bob has shipped me a new pair of drivers and XOs. I should be running 2way by the end of the week if USPS comes through. Final thoughts and photos to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
