  1. Hello, They are the DH2A drivers. Sorry for the confusion. They are on the way, along with the horns. I ordered the drivers two days earlier than the horns, but thanks to FedEx stalling the package in Missouri, it looks like the horns are going to arrive first. No idea when the drivers will arrive. I have one ST350 from a lone Sentry V I found in a thrift store. I found another for $40, so I couldn't resist adding them on as a tweeter possibility. So, my plan is to run the DH2A from about 1k (give or take) to around 3.5k or so, then cross to the ST350s. That way, I can hopefully avoid the radical EQ necessary to get the DH2As up to spec. I've had bad luck with that with my Peavey MF1-Xs. That's the plan anyway. We'll see when I actually get the stuff and can start messing around.
  2. I have Electro-Voice TL 2x12 cabs loaded with EVM-12L Series II that I used as the midrange part of a large scale system. I've been thinking about using a matching EV HF horn/driver set along with them. Has anyone used the DH2A drivers? I'm curious what they would be like with either HP94 or HP940 horns. Any preference between the two horns? I could cross them over anywhere from 1k - 1.6k, whatever is best for the driver. Are they strong up to 13-14k? That's about all I really need, as there isn't much useful above that. -Jon
  3. Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like that coverage would just be too narrow for closer listening. I didn't even think about that.
  4. Nobody has any thoughts on these speakers? Just trying to get an idea of what to expect. In my research, I think the P2s are loaded with JBL, possibly using an EV horn.
  5. Hello all, Wanted to get your thoughts on some Clair Brothers speakers. I'm looking at a pair of P-2 Tops with a roadcase for $1,100 and am ML18 HP Sub for $400. The P2s have a 12" woofer, and a 2" Horn driver, but I don't know the brand. The Sub has a JBL 2258 18". Clair used an electronic crossover / processor with the P2s, but I don't know which one. I have a Driverack that I was hoping to use once I measured the drivers. What are your thoughts about this potential setup? My main concern is will the Driverack be adequate to control the P2s, or do they need more radical processing than it can provide? This would be for a home setup, serving as music (anything from pop rock, to classic rock to mild electronic) as well as movies.
  6. Hizzieallen, PM Sent with serious interest. Thanks! -Jon
  7. Both of the Marantz players are discontinued. I think the only ones they make now are streamers with transports and SACD added on as an afterthought. This is their cheapest model: https://www.marantz.com/en-us/product/cd-players/sacd30n Kinda ridiculous that you can't buy a decent midrange SACD player anymore. Seems the format is going away.
  8. Hey Jim, PM Sent about the K55 drivers. Thanks, Jon
  9. If anyone wants these things for free, they can have them. Otherwise I'm junking the innards and burning the cabs. Going with JBLs and I have no use for this junk anymore.
  10. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I can try to get some pictures tomorrow. I suspect shipping something so large over such a distance will be quite expensive.
  11. EDIT: Now FREE! Get them out of here before I burn them! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Figured I'd give these a shot here. I'm selling a set of Peavey MF1-X horns. Both work fine, they're just too big for my application. Both have original 22A drivers. Decided to go a different direction. If I can get $100, that would be great. I'm taking a loss, but just want to free up some space. I live in New Ringgold, PA 17960. I could do a porch pickup, and have them hooked up to a little class D amp to demo. More than enough power to show these guys off. If anyone's interested, I can get pictures up. Any questions, let me know. Thanks, Jon
  12. Hallcon83, If you're just looking for the bottom half on a budget, something to keep an eye out for is a set of Peavey FH-1s. They're a bit wider than the LaScalas, but have a longer horn and lower bass extension as a result. Plus, they can be found cheap. I wouldn't pay more than $100-200 for a pair. I just bought a pair of SP1s (all in one unit with FH-1 bass and MF1-X horn) for $10, but they have issues, functionally and cosmetically. So, I've got a project.
  13. Hi Glens, Here's the thread about the current setup, though I have now swapped out the Heresies for a set of Pioneer PM-40s taken from an incomplete set of CSR-700s. It helped to lower the profile, but I'm not sure I like the sound as much as the Heresies. -Jon
  14. Hello again, I've come across a pair of JBL 3678 THX Theater speakers for $800, and wanted to see what you guys think? I like their potentially smaller size (relative to my huge stacks) but am unfamiliar with these speakers. What little I've been able to find leads me to believe they'd be more than adequate for my space. I've always been impressed with JBL's larger speakers, and am hoping these will be the same. I also have a set of 8330s I could use for surrounds. What do these speakers sound like? I have a Tuba HT to take care of the real deep bass, so if these are good to 60 Hz or so, that's fine. How's the top end? Also, is $800 a fair price for these? They are within driving range, so that is convenient for me. Thanks a lot, Jon
  15. Hi Jason, It does have bracing. The construction photo was just taken before it was added. If you look at the pic with it completed (under the afghan) you can see the brace at the mouth. It also has another set further in. -Jon
