I have the same Preamp, but I have never used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Those look very nice, Jeff. What model are those? Are they decorators finished off with simple appointments or totally factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of nice photos, did you ever install those Four 12" drivers into the Snail Horns you got from me over a year ago? Just curious as to how they might sound and/or measure.

After picking those up, I got the Dayton woofers. Josh recalculated the throats for those and they actually look to be a little big for those woofers. The throat opening also gets out to the surround area. JWC said just throw them in and listen. Anyway, Josh cut some inserts to make the size more correct and to make the expansion better. Pics of what he cut for me attached. Then I went through 38 radiation treatments. While I'm now testing ok, the androgen blocker has messed with the hormones and I'm pretty beat at the end of the day. I've gotten some other 'had to do' projects mostly caught up. I started getting the Snails finished up. They will be staying here. 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller said he purchased them in very poor cosmetic condition and spruced them up with new veneer, false corners, casters and some sturdy lag bolts and screws. These are assembled to withstand a fall from 3 stories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 He did a nice job, very subtle. They would tend to disappear into a corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT88 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Your Khorns look really nice. I see the rollers under the speakers. Are they temporary or should they stay there? The bass could be better if the speakers are on the floor without the wheels after final positioning.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdnfay1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Used to have a 504. Loved it. Sold it like a dummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 4 hours ago, The Dude said: Nice seeing the speakers were the first thing in the house. My first wife and I moved quite a number of times, both before and after having kids. The audio gear was always the first thing set up in the new apartment or house. That way we could always have music as we unpacked in the new digs. She was also at the new place directing movers ( be they friends or paid) where to place all the heavy stuff. Usually, most everything was set up at the end of the day.That did get more difficult by the time we had three kids in tow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Finally all connected! Getting the amp and preamp was touch and go. Even though both boxes were shipped together, they arrived at different times. Preamps were not delivered because my place was seen as vacant. Well, yeah. I was moving in the next day. Tracking said returned to sender. Yikes!!! Fortunately, I was able to intercept the box at the post office. And the amp... Was out for delivery today, and all of a sudden, tracking said, "No such address. Return to sender." I was able to intercept it, too. It was addressed properly, but whatever. Just glad I got it all in good condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Recap or no? Are these old? I can't find serial numbers on the speakers. They were rehabbed, and I think wood was replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad I got it all in good condition. That room will need some serious attention. Reminds me of about 25 years ago. I broke up with my girlfriend and moved into a new house. It had a large 26 X 16 room with suspended hardwood floors. All I had was a loveseat and my equipment and rack. Looked very similar to your room. The first time I fired the system up I cringed at the sound. I knew I had work to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is at least one member here who still uses those types of caps in his 1963(8?) Khorns. He said that they measure in spec and sound fine. Can you post pictures or state what the drivers are? From that info, you might be able to swap out the whole networks so you can AB them and maybe hear if they need recapped. (wish you were close, I have a few networks you could try) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in that situation not having anyone telling me i can't, I would definitely add sound panels where they are needed right way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
