hobie1dog Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I am having to sell all my audio coveted audio that I said I'd never sell due to having become disabled with CIDP. I had these built by a cabinetmaker several years ago and have never fired them up. They are sprayed with black lacquer. They have Eminence Omega Pro drivers as suggested by the original designer that I got the plans from. They have Tara Labs internal wiring (wired in parallel) and the huge Madisound terminals on the back that will accept 4 gauge wire ( if I remember correctly). Unfortunately the front panels will need to be made again by the buyer. The original had T-nuts in cleats inside the cabinet section which proved not to hold as well as I had expected, so I removed them and the cleats. Now during the last move I haven't located the original panels, but making new ones out of birch plywood will not be hard and will give you the chance to veneer them at that time. I am located in Denver, NC which is above Charlotte. Price is $1,000 obo 704-516-7493 cell Marty Marty Edited February 12, 2016 by hobie1dog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobie1dog Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Out of curiosity, what top horn were you going to use? Nice speaker, good luck with the sell. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk I built open baffle units using (2) Audax 100db eff high quality PR170MO units close coupled to give about 104db eff in parallel. This is the same midrange driver used in the Jadis Eurythmie speakers ( 37K per pair ) http://www.stereophile.com/content/jadis-eurythmie-ii-loudspeaker#yCvmCQAV8fPm1SD2.97 and the famous Waveform Mach 17 speakers: http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/697waveform/#FgozmizOZ1gPp0kT.97 They will cover almost ruler flat from 400 hz to 5K hz. I used a Ciare 105db eff. bullet tweeter that handles 40 watts continuous,with a 6 1/2" diameter flange and goes out to 20K. Cabinets were easy as I used Honduras Mahogany for the sides: These will also need to be sold but I don't know what to put on them for a price. Whatever it is, I will be 100% sure to lose my butt on them I got this setup from a member on the Altec Lansing forum who was burned out on horn top end units and wanted higher fidelity.

Coytee Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Marty, I'm sorry to hear about the CIDP. For anyone looking, I've met Marty and had him in my home for a full day of good jamming & talking. Easy for me to vouch that he's as straight up as any of us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkalsi Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Marty - sorry to hear about the CIDP. Hope things turn around soon. Quick question about the build - were they built with baltic birch plywood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) how much do you think the bass bins weight with drivers installed? just curious... would there much difference if the drivers were wired in series as opposed to in parallel?

hobie1dog Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) how much do you think the bass bins weight with drivers installed? just curious... would there much difference if the drivers were wired in series as opposed to in parallel? The Jubilee cabinets are listed at 260 lbs. so I would imagine they would be more around 300 lbs as the Eminence magnets are bigger than the Klipsch from what I remember. The Eminence drivers are 22.7 lbs each I shipped a 1943 RCA Ubangi bass cabinet several years ago to a guy in Vegas so that he could have 2 of them in his shop. It was 7 feet long and 445 lbs. Loaded it up on a pallet in my garage,by myself. Large box truck came with a tail lift gate and took it away. Wiring them in series would give you a 16ohm load, that's going the wrong way for me. When I auditioned the Jamboree speakers in Atlanta it was proven quickly that low power gave low dynamics. Mark's tube amp just wouldn't cut it, so we switched over to the more powerful SS amp and it was quite obvious of the power requirements. These are like most other dual 15" cabinets, they NEED power to give authoritative bass slam. Edited February 13, 2016 by hobie1dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobie1dog Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 sold through CL had to include the mid/high cabinets, a BBE Max3 electronic crossover, and a RGR Model 4 preamp in the deal. Talk about losing my butt,...life stinks sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
