jimjimbo Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Yes, very busy. I won’t bore you with the details. So, I am listening to them right now as we speak. I have not moved them into a regular indoor music space as of yet. I am listening to them outdoors, they are placed approximately 15 to 18 feet apart and I am seated approximately 20 feet away and they are absolutely astonishing. The HF and mid range detail is just fantastic. To be honest, the low end is actually less impressive than I would have thought. I’m sure that that is probably because I don’t have any room Gain for them so I would imagine that bringing them indoors would significantly change that. Sorry for the delay in my response. And no, I am not by bi-amping them with an electronic crossover. The passive crossovers are a custom configuration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Even on older recordings such “Traffic The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” they sound terrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do in fact bring them indoors, how different will those distances be? Yes, I would imagine that room gain will add low end but possibly at the expense of the HF & MR detail....but who knows.

richieb Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Not wanting to speak for Jim but I owned the 904’s albeit with a EAW horn/B&C 750 driver and custom Crites xover (you may have seen them, The Frankensteins) and always played indoors. They were 20-23 feet separation, listening position 15-18 feet. They were spectacular with all types of music and so wished I had kept them. When Jubes arrived and having KHorns and the Franks something had to go. I miss the Franks more than the KHorns, hands down. Jubes still singing - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHEN I do bring them indoors, spacing will be 15 feet apart, listening position will be 15-20 feet away, treated room, carpet, etc. I don't know that the HF and MR will suffer all that much with that 510 horn.......
