avguytx Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Pictures to follow later. Got to get them unloaded out of daughters Jeep Compass then put up a new OTA antenna and paint Dynaco ST-70 bell caps then I can mess with speakers. Helluva nice guy and fun to talk to. He was in the back woods of Arkansas. Just moved out there on 500 acres and building a new house. He'd bought some new Klipsch towers I think he said. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Got them cleaned up and oiled and loooking quite good. Quite presentable for 39 years old. Need new grill cloth, some emblems, and convert from Type B to B-2 crossovers and see how that goes. Listening to them now through all kinds of music and sound very good stock. Does the B-2 change the 6khz crossover point from mid to tweeter or is it mainly just a second order crossover? Maybe that's someone else's crossover I'm thinking of. Can't wait to get my Dynaco VTA ST-70 done and hooked up in place of this con sole tube amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I think you may be thinking of the Crites crossover network with the 4500kHz point. You might be correct on the B2 being a 2nd order network. Not too sure myself, but it appears to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 That may be it. Something about using that particular crossover meant having to use something besides the K-77 tweeters. I think it was saying to use the CT-120. I'll have to find out Tuesday if that's how he worded it. He emailed yesterday saying he'd be out till then.

avguytx Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Wait... I'm thinking of the Type A/4500 crossover for the Belle, LA Scala and Khorns. Might not have anything like that for Cornwall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeJ1 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Upgrade your network to a B2 and use new capacitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I saw the auto formers were the same between B and B-2 and just needs a pair if .245mh coils for tweeters and some different caps. I priced all the parts using Solen caps and coils and coils and was very reasonable. Does it change crossover point at mid/tweeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still use the autoformers in the networks you have, along with the bass inductors. It would save a couple bucks. I'm using the 1% Bennic caps in my Cornwalls.

avguytx Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thank you sir. Will still keep searching for Belle's and still may build cabinets at some point. We are thinking about building or buying a new house later this year and a prequisite is an audio only room. I'd build one above my garage but I hate this house being on a hill and am ready to be on some flatter land. Wife had it when we got married 4 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivervalleymgb Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Glad you got your Cornwalls!!! My son decided he wanted my pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 You've got two great pairs of speakers to choose from. Hard decision. Ha Now I need to sell off a couple pairs of speakers including some Norman Lab Model 9's and Dynaco A25's to make some space for CF-3's to store for time being.

Rivervalleymgb Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have owned a couple of pair of Norman Lab Model Ten over the last decade. Each time I sold a pair, I regretted it. Especially since the most I paid was $20 per pair. I have really liked the early Normans. The 4xx series was just way too bright for me, though the lamp in the cabinet that shown through the poly cones of the woofers was a nice touch.

avguytx Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 And I got a little work done on my ST-70 kit today, too. Domestic duties limited my time, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
