Don McPhee Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Just thought I would post this, Dave with Field Weld contacted me offered me a great try it now you’ll like it by it deal on his aluminum lens with 120 drivers. I’ve been running them at TV volume for about 24 hours and will start pumping some music through them this evening. If they sound half as good as they look I’ll be pleased. So far initial findings ; first couple hours well,....as they break in they sound like they need broken in, LOL. Since then I’ve run some music through them at the 12 hour mark and they sound very nice . These are a impressive product, machine to the nth degree , They look amazing, looks like it belongs in the space shuttle. I’d be very interested in a drop in 2 inch squaker horn Machined out of aluminum like the tweeter. I spent an extensive amount of time on the phone talking to Dave, he seems to be the real deal I look forward to working with him in the future. I will follow up with results in the near future 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantoramasan Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have had a pair installed in my 82' Khorns since last year and I can tell you that they are fantastic! I think you will like them very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panelhead Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Same here have Dave’s Walnut horns and B&C DE-120 in La Scala II. No mods to crossover. Sounds much improved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would freely by them even if money was tight and needed to post bail I might choose to sit it out saving the money so to be able to afford them.

What tweeters did you replace and why are so fond of them since the lust is that primitive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out that my Belle speakers have a weird size k77 tweeters so Dave A made me the ones on the left for me they fit like glove.

Panelhead Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Dave did the same for me. The LS II has a different tweeter. Same K-77 driver, wider horn. In fact Dave machined them while we sat and listened to music. Glad he did not pull out the ‘shine. Leaving his place in the dark was a bit challenging sober. When it gets dark there, it is really dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 OK it's official, I took the plunge and bought a pair of the MAHL tweeters that Dave was kidn enough to paint black for me along with the B&C DE10 tweeters. I'll need to spend more time with the setup, but my first thoughts are that they are VERY clear and detailed while remaining slightly relaxed in a good way. I appreciate the effort put forth by @Dave A and @ClaudeJ1 (I think you did the testing?) along with plenty of others I'm sure. I REALLY like what I'm hearing here after the first hour or so. Strong work gents! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Having said such, I can EASILY recommend this setup as a giant step forward in sound quality and reduced listener fatigue while gaining a little on the detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did the testing and gently nudged DaveA to produce the larger version in an ellipse with a tractrix-like flare. I owned 4 of the DE-10 about 10 years ago on my 'horn stack" to replace JBL Baby Butt cheek tweeters. They are the best bang for the buck in tweeter drivers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I needed and I'm thrilled. It's strange that the treble is a touch hotter, (likely due to sensitivity /horn in guessing?) yet smoother.... Makes for a very pleasant combo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
