Fayfay Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 It's very pretty. How do you compare the sound from these with the sound from k400 or k401 using the same drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you compare the sound from these with the sound from k400 or k401 using the same drivers? Comparing the K55M/K401 combo to the K55M/Eliptrac combo, the Eliptrac is more open, smoother and forward sounding. Vocals are more compressed through the K401 and there is an ease of presentation with the Eliptrac. Everything just sounds more natural. I noticed and measured about a 1 db. increase in output with the Eliptrac, possibly because of the shorter horn length. The Faital HF144/Eliptrac combo is even smoother and fuller sounding. I used it as a 2-way without the Klipsch tweeter. I liked the sound of the HF144/Eliptrac combo the best, but didn't like the look of the horn boxes I made sitting on my La Scala's. I considered cutting the Eliptrac 400's into the motor board, but didn't want to molest the La Scala's that much. I like the stock look of the speaker, so I switched to the K55M/Fastrac combo and it was a slight compromise in sound, but still better than the K401. Presently my 1994 Lascala's have the stock K33E woofer, K55M/Fastrac combo, Crites CT110 tweeter and slightly modified AL-3 crossover. Mostly stock with some enhancements. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayfay Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thank you, lar418. When used HF144/Eliptrac combo as a 2-way, what was the crossover point - I assume the woofer is K33? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When used HF144/Eliptrac combo as a 2-way, what was the crossover point - I assume the woofer is K33? Yes, they were used with K33E woofers in my La Scala's and I crossed these over at approximately 400 Hz. I used the woofer portion of the AL-3 crossover and a slightly modified version of the AL-3 squawker portion. The AL-3 squawker portion is not a true bandpass and is designed to let the K55M roll off naturally, therefore it allows the HF144 to extend to it's 18K limit. The stock tweeter was also disconnected from the crossover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
