The Dude 5145 Posted February 21 Not trying to turn this into a driver size comparison thread. But for fun, here is the EV DH1A next to a Faital pro hf200.Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NBPK402 883 Posted February 21 Are the drivers all about the same depth? I have the EV DH1As, and was wondering if others are deeper insize. Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-T830 using TapatalkI can't compare the Evs to my BMS, but my BMS are about twice as deep as my B&Cs.Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude 5145 Posted February 21 Added some decorative trim. Are those black areas some sort of mmumps? I know see the wooden trim. Is that oak? Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave A 2364 Posted February 21 For some reason I was under the impression that Roy had added a phase plug to the Celestion he uses. If he has while those will sound good they will not be the equal to what goes in the Jubes. I had a chance to hear 1132 drivers on 402's with original phase plugs and then then the new ones and there is pretty substantial improvement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the shiny black areas are modified contours, similar to what are called mumps on other horns. The wood trim is rosewood veneer. The bright flash for that picture makes the wood color appear lighter than normal. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The New Jubilee video shows an extension for the phase plug. That would be a significant improvement over the standard Celestion compression driver.

How did you make and install them?Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not done any test measurements yet, but they sound really good. I used some semi-rigid phenolic sheet, cut the shapes with a bandsaw and large belt sander. Heated and bent to follow the curve, then attached with adhesive and seam sealed with matching vinyl wrap. The shiny finish was temporary, I much prefer the appearance as pictured at the top of this page. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
