Moderators dtel Posted April 14, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2018 That's why I said that because that was when he brought some expensive tube amps and they were also on the floor by the speakers, one mystake and you could have done some very expensive damage, way out of price range. 3 minutes ago, richieb said: --- Ok, I've heard about these being hung on the wall. Are they Deans or ALK ? Rigma is his name or forum name, I don't remember which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and while we were there Roy hand drew out a schematic for another type of crossover, steeper slope (Zobel?) and @mikebse2a3 proceded to build one with parts in the lab while @Trey Cannon helped him find some parts not right handy. @dtel is 100% correct. 300B Set amps with NOS WE tubes.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 14, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2018 Marion, @rigma the Zen Master of Jubilees. 5.1 Jube system. The only thing he is missing is an 1802. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Of course, you know this, but for information sake, he built two jubes, working out the details, and then bought the rest from Klipsch. Just goes to show you that crossovers like that, don't have to suck up all the power from low power amps. He built the crossovers, too.

He built two clones with Roy's approval and guidance. There is a picture of them in Roy's office on a plaque that @rigma presented to @Chief bonehead as thanks. Rigma also built his own amps and his own preamp. Rigma got this "bug" from his father. There is an awesome thread on hear about 10 years ago that Rigma started where he posted a newspaper article about his father building a set of Klipsch speakers from a kit and/or plans in the very early '70s. Marion is like @dtel, you can hand him a stick and say "i want you to build me a house out of this" and he can. He and his wife Becky are two of the nicest people you would ever want to meet.

Looking at the sub or subs he is using he really needs to ditch those, I had it's smaller brother the spud, which either model is NO way near the cleaner more detailed sound of the 1802 or the 1502. To me the Danelys are not even close. 1 hour ago, dwilawyer said: Marion is like @dtel, you can hand him a stick and say "i want you to build me a house out of this" and he can.

(unless it's terrible) Your right, they are very nice people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Notice: 1 board = for 1 speaker. He built two of those monstrosities - I'm pretty sure I'm right about the final cost. There were two zobel circuits, one for the low pass and one for the high pass - used to flatten the impedance and present a benign load to a tube amp.

Coytee Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I have no idea about the zobels but you are otherwise correct. He built two of these monsters.... then a year later, found out about the TAD driver.... and built another pair. As I recall the story, he could only use the huge coils in the new design. My recollection is he's got another $3,000 in the second set (along with the first for a total of about $6K for parts). Made me smile when I got my TAD's and only had to hit some buttons to reprogram my active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I believe they have at least one one the 1502 subs that got built. DTEL has one. That means there are only two others sitting somewhere. I bet it was fun getting it up the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
