jrt Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So, I'm entertaining the idea of triamping my Klipschorns (they are biamped now). Just as a thought experiment, what kind of amp would you suggest for the tweeters? I should be more general- what combination of amps would you suggest- bass, squawker, tweeter? Currently- I'm running an SE 300B for the tweeter/squawker and SS on bass but I tend toward tubes. I'm pretty open to suggestions and loudness is not an issue.

DrWho Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 how are you implementing the crossover? If you aren't already doing it, I would suggest putting the money towards an active digital crossover with some form of delay compensation. You might also want to give one of those TEAC digital tripath amps a try...with the high sensitivity of the squaker and tweeter, you should get some good levels outta them.

ssh Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I've avoided posting a narrative about the process, hoping to end it with an exclamation of success, but I'll chime in a bit here. I have a Marchand active xover (no delay, as I found out at Hope that one is needed), have pulled theALK's and run wire from each driver,attached to my Scott 299A at tweter, JFL 2A3s mid, & Pioneer DSXV1S at bass. (I started with a Bogen 232 at bass, but it was UNHAPPY, & immediately lit up some tubes.) This conglomeration was enlisted to give me a starting point for a tri-amped pr. of khorns. (I used what I had.) It sounds like something unmusical at bass, & our next hook-up will be a Crown from my buddy Hal, who's helping me with the project. We both WORK & haven't played with this for a couple of months. The Hope visit pointed me elsewhere, & in the meantime, I'm enjoying my LaS.

jrt Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yes, I absolutely plan to use a good crossover with delay and phase compensation. Right now I'm biamping and using a behringer DCX2496. Without getting into an argument about how bad or good it is, it works for now and this is all still experimental. I was thinking- some small wattage 2A3 or similar (maybe an 6L6??) on the tweeters, 300B on the mids and I'm finishing up a clone of a dynaco st-70 which I would put on bass duty. The Scott seems like a lot of power for the tweeters- you attenuate it quite a bit? I can wait and read the full report if you odn't want to talk about it now. I know absolutely nothing about TEAC amps or Crown amps that people here seem to like. thanks for the info, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 My goal was to use 1.5 watt monoblocks next summer, but I may put the project behind me & go another direction, after listening at Hope. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
