rockhound Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 @Dave A I got my popcorn ready Dave! Glad you finally hooked the 402's up they are truly special but you really just have to hear them to understand. For me these are the end of the road. Mine are currently broken down and stored I have been considering building boxes for them and sticking them out in the garage so I can hear them from time to time.

totalcomfort Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 There’s magic in the 402, took me a little while to get mine dialed in, but when you do it is a different level of music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 These are the end of the road for me too. I am sure I can spend more money and find a way to something better than the S MWM's and the 402's but quite frankly I am not interested. My next efforts will all be in the area of improving the files I listen to. Just for giggles I have some speaker build projects with a set of Chorus I parts and I am going to make a set of 1" baltic birch bass bins like the KPT-456's for future use. I may not have this much space forever so I want something in hand I can listen to if that space loss happens and the 456 bass bins and a set of 402's would be admirable replacements for the big boys. I read about TAD's and special electronics but right now I am unmoved by any of it. Yes I have been exposed to revelations along the way that only hearing in person can make like these 402's have been and the MCM 1900's have been and as far as that goes the KPT-456's. I don't need more or better to make me happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard the TAD's they are very good, easy to hear a good bit of difference. But I can not spend that much to change out drivers even if they are better, I don't blame people who do but not for me. Plus they are rare. Electronics, that can be a never-ending thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. I can admire what someone else has but what I will have is good enough for me and better than what 95% of the "audiophiles" will ever hear anyway.

Thanks for the offer but I will pass on it. Have any rack mount preamp recommendations? I have an Integra 50.4 I can use but it is huge and I am not all that crazy about how it sounds as an amp. Maybe the preamp part is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to do. That last 5% or less of potential improvement costs way to much for me. Those 1132's are good enough for me and I have extras of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gregory Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Dave congratulations on the 402’s. I recently acquired a pair and now looking for a pair of Pass Labs Aleph 2 amplifiers. If you happen to hear of some please please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your neighborhood entertainment center just gets bigger and bigger. You need a set of Super MWM's to go with those 402's. Try blowing anything up lately? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gregory Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I would love to try a smaller version mwm. I’m investigating a pair of JL Audio F212 I have been keeping it at a moderate volume lately. But if and when the opportunity presents itself “I’m going to go Live” lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use 40% less floor space, cost about $200 each (or less if you use MDF) and only give up 6 hz. on the bottom in doing so. Plus they are smoother.

I bought the third to mate up with the K510 that was going to be my center JubeScala (building the 510 inside the top) but... my father in law had to pass on and my wife had to choose his buffet "that is a nice piece of furniture that would cost a fortune today" (or something like that) and she has it in the spot where the LaScala would be going... Ultimately, I've given the LaScala away, finally giving in to the reality that it will never go in as a center. Can't yet quite get myself to give up the K510 nor TAD so they sit in the closet.

Islander Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 dtel, what's that huge cabinet in the middle of your system? I don't think it's one of the mighty 1802 subs, but it's a similar size. Just wondering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
