Jorge,

You're quite welcome to visit any time you are in the SF Bay Area.

There's a photo attached to this post of my Blokhorn system ( modified Edgarhorn System 80 ). 

The drivers are as follows.

(2) Hi Vi Planar RP2 PRO magnetic tweeters from 5000 Hz on up  

(2) JBL 375s on the tractrix Blockhorns, 500 Hz - 5,000 Hz 

(2) JBL 150s 4Cs on the Edgarhorn 80 Hz bass horns, 80 Hz - 500 Hz 

(2) JBL E145 18" woofers on the Edgarhorn Super Seismic folded horn subwoofers, 20 Hz - 80 Hz

I lucked out at a thrift store one day years ago and bought a mint condition Metregon with the 375s and 1504Cs. Cheap. When I pulled the drivers from that box, they looked new, perfect. I will never sell those JBL drivers, they all original, work great and 'match' each other exactly, even though they sport old ALNICO magnets.

The tweeters are in 'temporary' enclosures, I am working on something better looking but they sound fine as they are.

The Bloklhorns were CNC'd from a laminated-MDF block. There's another photo attached of the back side showing the JBL 375.

The 80 Hz bass horns are mass loaded - all voids filled with clean dry sand. Granite tops cover the fill ports I bored.

You can see part of one Seismic Sub to the left of the horns, there are two - they also serve as supports for a video screen ( which does not hurt the sonics as far as I can tell ).

You can also see a little bit of the shiny red solid-core speaker wire I use, Paul Speltz's Anti-Cable. The interconnects are all Blue Jeans Cable XLR type.

The little aluminum box on the upper shelf with the blue LED is a NuFrorce mono amp, one of two. To the right is a Benchmark ADC1 which bypasses the HDP3 analog-to-digital converter for phonograph and R-t-R analog sources.

The DEQX HDP3, one of two, is the black box with yellow and blue LEDs is on the shelf below.

A PS Audio PWT and PS Audio PP5 are atop the next shelf.

Below that is my Nuforce 7-channel HT amp - 6 channels power the low bass horns, upper bass horns and the tweeters - the multi-channel amp is fitted with exactly the same Ref v3Vse circuit boards as the 'Class D' NuForce mono blocks - the only difference is less capacitance in the PS.

As you can see I have a HT setup in the same room. Those Gallos work very well, sound good.

Cheers,

Kerry
