jwc Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I got some Walnut Belles off Craigslist. Decent shape. All Klipsch drivers and horns. AA networks. I'm sorry to say....as much as I love Klipsch, I don't enjoy their sound. Pulled out the networks and entire baffle assembly with horns. Gonna replace XO's and Top Hat horn and drivers without ruining ability to convert back. All Fastlane and ALK here. ALK had some old extra Klipsch-style black fabric that I will attach soon. I assembled this new baffle. Fastlane tweeter horn and Midrange horn. B & C drivers. ALK networks. This will slide right inside the top hat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) When you say their sound. Are you referring to the mid horns and tweeter. How does Fastlane tweeter sound? Have you ever listened to his round conical horn tweeter. Edited March 24, 2016 by duder1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 The tweeters here are the same ones in my Cornscalas. VERY happy with those. I have the Fastlane Conitrac tweeters here w/o a driver. I plan to try those out with something else in the future. I have had 5 different Fastlane horns. Good stuff if you love tractrix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 double on Fastlane Audio tractix horn lenses. The contrac tweeter is darn good. Have not gotten a chance to audition the eliptrac tweeter yet. I miss Dave here on the forum, he was/is one of the good guys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincymat Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 My Faslane La Scala horns ship tomorrow. Getting excited to hear them with the Fastlane tweeters I installed last fall along with a pair of Dean's x-overs. Dave and Dean are great people to deal with.

Mark Which of Dean's crossover did you go with?Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk It's a modified AA with the 2 dB attenuation to the mid-range. Not sure it has a name or model. Bought it and a set of solder lug k55 from Dean. Got to meet him too. We work near each other is the Dayton, OH area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolz Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 jwc are you crossing over the low mid at 400 Hz with the ALK AP12's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 500 hz. I hope to work on it more today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nice feature of the Belle and Klipschorn is that you can unscrew a few fasteners, remove the motorboard and have a blank space to put other horns and drivers into. You can also make the space bigger by replacing the little side panels with taller pieces of wood. Label and save all the OEM parts and you can easily re-assemble them to original condition.

toolz Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) 500Hz. OK, I was not sure what the Belle Fastlane would take. I used the 700 with the Altec 811. Edited April 1, 2016 by toolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mine isn't the Belle Fastlane. Mine is the Elipitrac. I hade to custom make the baffle to fit it. The Belle Fastlane might have to be cutoff at 500Hz. The Elipitrac can do 400Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Up high on shelf is the stock baffle and horns. The tweeters are different. Somebody in the past replaced one of the Alnicos with the square magnet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
