the blue horns arrived today....and they're all hooked up and sounding..............FANTASTIC.......!!!!!!
In 10 years of DIY audio, there's a few moments of sheer joy....tonight was one.
Will muck around with placement of horns....and I have to build a frame...and possibly redirect the mid bass units to fire directly into the room. Integration of mid-bass is already very good.
But first impressions are wonderful....the sound is BIG...detailed, nuanced...no colouration. I'm totally stoked. My friend's $45,000 AG Trio's sound no better....and I haven;t even hooked up the bass horns.
I'm also very lucky that the Bob Crites 500/5,000 xover has worked out to perfection. The balance is very good indeed.
Now, I'll start my tapped horns.
I also love the colour and finish of the horns...sort of industrial looking...with a textured, satin finish.
The Selenium drivers rock...wonderful detail and attack. Not sure if they need run-in though.
More to follow.
