justinsweber Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I was asked to help with a massive project. This will be a true one of a kind. Ive hooked up the 240 horn and say it does through a larger sound stage and seems more expansive. The Speaker with be Fastlane Eliptrac 240/B&C DE750, Fastlane contrac with B&C DE10 and ALK ES networks, Kappa 15C. Cardis bining posts and some fantastic wire for hookup. The whole project should wrap up in a few week and it will be shipped to NYC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I love that horn. I wish there was a way to make it not weigh a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I tried to talk the buyer in to the smaller top hat with the Eliptrac HF. No such luck. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Can't say that I blame him. When you go big, you want to go big all the way. Awesome setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincymat Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Love to hear them play. Nice work on the cabinets. Is the Bass bin, the kit on your site? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 yeah... not much demand but its the same math... The Grills are sourced from dave as the owner wanted the woofer recessed in. After speaking with ALK and learning some of the characteristics of the Eliptrac 240, the crossovers and mid driver are changing. The owner will order a ES300 and ES4500 from AL. Additionally we will be using the BMS 4591. Should be pretty cool to hear a cornscala crossed so low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Justin... has your guy ever built anything like a la scala or a bass bin of a jubilee or klipschorn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 ES300? As in crossover from bass to mid at 300Hz? Really? Why? GotHover, are you on board with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Consultation with ALK was the primary reason. The horn/BMS will be more linear than the 15C. The horn some the collapsing polar responses above 4500 if I recall (as I was told). The ES4500 will have the HF take over. The contrac can easily handle being crosses at 4500. The BMS driver can handle incredible power at 300hz. The 3 changes should make this a one of a kind with unique results.

justinsweber Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I built a pair of DIY LS bass bins before. We are not interested in trying to build Klipsch clones. The Klipsch la scale and k horn is a lot of work. I'm still trying to refine the cornscala. ;-). I wish someone had the la Scala dog house to build from.

Gorm Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I would love to see the ALK es300s. I'm not sure I've ever seen any pictures of that one. Does he even advertise it? I've heard about the es400 and 12-350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard about the es400 and 12-350. I'd like to see that ES300 too. Some big inductors on there. The ES400 was already 2 boards....maybe we have graduated to 3 boards!

Guest David H Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) ES300? As in crossover from bass to mid at 300Hz? Really? Why? GotHover, are you on board with this? I try not to weigh in too much on other peoples projects, though I did try and talk the owner into the Eliptrac HF for aesthetic reasons. I am pleased to see a forum project come to life, especially one that is different from main stream builds. That said, I don't think this is the speaker I would build, but I'll bet is turns out marvelous. I will be following this thread closely, and may even make a trip to amps and sound to see and hear the finished product.
