Steve Phillips Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 Have been trying to improve my center channel ever since I got my K-Horns both tonaly and spl. Finally I've gotten every close. I found a(sorry)replica K-Horn type squawker.Speaker Lab made something very close.I mounted it in a box and my Heresy center sits on it.I'm using an AA network with only the 2 2uf caps changed.The woffer inductor has been changed. The level is now the same as my Horns and it sounds so very close that it's hard to tell. Hope the pictures work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 Steve, I still can't believe how nice your setup is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Klappenberger Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 Steve, I agree with Seb, it's very impressive. Qman's setup is the only other one I can think of that is in the same league. Maybe we should get the webmaster to set up a vote on it when the male / female thing is over! Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Phillips Posted December 12, 2000 Author Share Posted December 12, 2000 Na,let's don't.I still want to go to Fla.to do some Q movies myself.I'm real happy with mine,but now I'm not happy with the In Walls.Just not enough spl to keep up with the front end. Had to set the front 3 at -6 and the sides +6 and the IW's +12.Wish now I had gotten the IW-250's.They are 93dB instead of 90dB. O Well,wish,wish,wish&want,want,want!

Al Klappenberger Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 Steve, I was just kidding about the vote bit, of course! Both yours and Qmans setups are out of sight! Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hi guys, My earlier off-the-cuff kidding about comparing Steve's home theater system with Qman's got me thinking. How can you make a comparison like that? Both setups were put together by two different guys with two different rooms and two different sets of goals. Both are gorgeous and both will no doubt sound great. I'm also thinking of the outright competitions that are held between car stereo buffs. I've not been to such a competition, so I don't know much about it, but it seems kind of silly to me. I'd like to hear what everybody thinks about this. Comments? Al K.
