Post Subject: More questions than answers!Posted by guy sergeant on: 3/18/2010

Here are a few answers

1.   a, 84 Hz
      b, 4.8 inches square
      c, Hyperbolic exponential, T 0.8 1/2 Pi
      d, none so far on upper bass horn. S2 and 2405 have series capacitors feeding them.
      e, Eminence Kappa 12.

4. Both tweeter and S2 can be moved forward & backwards. I need to improve this upper frame really. this was just to get started.

5. I don't need to.
7. 4.8" x 4.8"
8. Useful advice, how do you measure the Macondo, from your listening position?
9. The main pictures were taken with the speakers at this hotel. I'll take your advice and try to bring them into the room some more.
10. I do have some JBL 2482's and was considering perhaps using those on the 140Hz Stereolab horns, although your 180 Hz Hyperbolic suggestion is another option. I do want to learn more about how to manipulate the elements I have first.
11. I'll try to do the time alignment more exactly when I put this system back together here this weekend. I've been too busy recently. I was interested to read JLH's views on this on Audio Asylum. http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hug/messages/14/148141.html Not sure what to make of that discussion.
12. They were segment lengths that allowed me to closely enough follow the Hypex profile.
14. Alot of time, (I'm bad at woodwork) but only $150 in materials + 2 drivers at $99 each
15 PVA Glue & dowel pins between sections although how much strength they add, I'm not sure.
