mopardave Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Getting close to ordering some new ox for my home brew CW"s with vert horns. K33E, K57k, K77M for components. Whats your take on these two ox's with Cornwalls? Currently looks like the ALK universals are still available, so thats is what i'm interested in as well as Crites B3. Curious if there is any difference in the sound between the two xo's? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopardave Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 No experiences with this combo and sellected xo's? Ok. I just decided to go inexpensive as possible. Crites B3's it is. I'll let ya know how good it sounds. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The B3 seems to be correct for that driver combo and you can't go wrong with Crites so congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopardave Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Gonna give Bob a call here in a bit and see what he thinks is best. Don't think i can go wrong with Crities xo's as someone on these boards guided me into building B xo' s using air core inductors on the woofers. I'm now finding out that was all wrong and not what this combo of components needed to sound there best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopardave Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Called Bob Crites today. Real nice guy. I learned a thing or two and he set me up with the correct xo's for my vertical CW's, which is the B3. Already built and on the way with cane grill material as well. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopardave Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Dont want to hurt anyones feelings here, but posted looking for direction on this subject and got silence for the most part. No big deal either way. Pulled the trigger on the Crites. Should sound as good or better than the B xo's i had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopardave Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Well, it seems that on this forum, comparing alk, crites and your xo's is a bit of taboo. I read alk's net page and i see there is some hard feelings going on here with these different xo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever dealt with Crites out of the three, sent him lots of money over the years without incident, always top notch service, fast turn around and quality products. I've been tempted to try some of the ALK products, been looking at the Eliptrac tweeters lately thinking I may switch to those in my 362's but I already have the ct-120's in there so kind of a hard sell, wish he offered the lenses by themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not “taboo” For others to do that, but it is inappropriate for me to comment since I’ve lost some objectivity - and promoting my own work tends to irritate some people. :-) Don’t worry about my feelings, I’m past all of that nonsense.

Marvel Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 wow! He bad some nice stuff, i.e., the elliptrac tweeter that AlK has been selling. A lot of folks have put in his Fastrack horns. I thought his mini punch bass cab was cool. Side biz is hard to keep going. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Crites networks equals lateral move. ALK Universals are not designed for the Cornwall only the big three Heritage. Although Al did make a Type B replacement for a short time they were very pricey but so nice (I have a set in my '80 Cornwalls). Dean offers a variety of builds with components to meet your budget that are definate improvements over the original designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
