Interestingly, along some esoteric brands, JBL hasn't dropped the use of horns for home hifi. Maybe not for the bass section, but at least in medium and high frequencies Here's the Array serie  |

Strange you should say that. When I started the Auracoustic Range, this was the first model. I decided to build the biggest thing first, which set the pace for all the smaller cabs that followed. After these were built using ATC and Morel, I changed to Volt. I have known David for a very long time, and after my brief flirtation with ATC, who I have also know since day one, I decided that I could work with volt a lot easier. Dave is a good man to have on board. Here's the cabs with volt. The first pair went to the South of France and this pair went to the South of England. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836/dscf0008na.jpg/" rel="nofollow">  Uploaded with http://imageshack.us" rel="nofollow - ImageShack.us ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |

The subs firing downward at the bottom, do they use the cab and the floor as some kind of horn? |

When I was configurating (not sure whether that's a word) the cab, I did want to connect the sub bass to the floor. I didn't think of it as a horn because of the open sides, but this configuration certainly helps to create a bit more gain on the Sub. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/tony.rossell.3 |

Nice job Tony! Am liking the back ones best - look badboy, would love to hear them :) Again just in cosmetic terms (as I've not heard either), I think the Volts look like nicer drivers. Here's my old hi-fi setup;   (btw...that's not me in the photo!) Sadly I had to part with my separates but I've still got the speakers (Dunlavy SC-V's). They were common in recording studios and Sony used them in theirs. They had a similar reputation at the ATC SCM300's for studio mastering use. I'm using smaller speakers at the moment though as I'm living up a few flights of stairs so would be too much hassle to move them, especially at 17 stone a piece! Sadly Dunlavy (the brand) is no more, they were one of the very few (only 3 or so) audio loudpspeaker manufacturers tha designed time and phase accurate speakers (or at least they claimed to be)... P.S. nice work Lee, my very first speakers were Kef 104aB monitors, they had a lovely rich sound and got me hooked into hi-fi when I was about 13 years old. I always used to dream of owning some 105/3's or 107/2's but that never happened....

Hi Tony. I don't understand the question.  Do you mean, if I am a professional? if so. Nop. I just enjoy music. And as life is very short and made of the most experiences you can grab, I like to try lotsa things. Had my first "stirio" at 6. Now nearing 50. In regard of the A7s, I heard a nice set at a friend's place. Powered by a 15 watts tube amp, and playing delta blues. Just wow. |

Hi Tony. I never buy to resale. I usually keep what I purchase. Sometimes, I need to make room, then I will sell. I still have two pairs of Kef speakers (yet I had to sell the pair of 105/2). I do have many sets of JBL compression drivers and horns. I produce 2397 repros with aluminum fins as a kit. But it was because I wanted a set for me, i made a dozen and sold them. That's it. I used to be a "resident" club DJ in the early to mid 1980s (punk, new wave, early electro and house, reggae/dub) and still purchase 10 to 20 (vinyl) records a week with the occasional CD when the vinyl can't be found. I love my vinyl. My main occupation is to design and produce parts for BMW racecars after spending 20 years as an art director in advertizing. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Massive-Brakes/178417442267056" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Massive-Brakes/178417442267056 |

| Those big PMC's really do sound nice but look much nicer in the natural wood finish version. They probably also work better with the bass only cabinet stacked under the main ones but it does make them a bit tall for domestic listening. I saw/heard them in one of the BBC Maida Vale studios, sitting behind the 92 channel SSL..... They look a bit more at home in that setting. |

Hi Mykey, Yeah just too complicated to get 4 throat halves exactly the same without computer help-for me at least. The rear throat lip in particular was critical, when matching up to the short phase plug 2452/2435's-even gentle buffing to improve the mdf finish put 2 out of circle...I eventually made 8 throat halves lol. Further tweaking has xover now LF 2nd order@570hz/HF@750hz LR, really pleased with them. Cooky |

Thanks guys. yeh the sub is on its way pics next week end. doing something a bit interesting with the sub. mini mad. cheers i will perhaps put them into production but the idea of haveing to make the molds for them to be made in fiberglass fills me with dred. but im sure i could find someone to make them for me. i need to give them a proper shake down first with the sub and make sure there not turkeys but so far just on there own with no eq they sound remarkably good. the specification by my girlfriend for them was to be small, look good and sound good. she seems happy but my outboard for running them with the sub is hilarious, 3 samson servo amps (hf) 170 midbass (260) sub 550. dbx crossover and 15band eq. lucky i built a 19" rack into the shelves in the living room. ------------- I do a sideline in ply wood wheels. |

Thank you guys. From memory i believe it gives 6x110w,or 2x240w in stereo mode. But certainly sounds much louder than those figures would suggest. These big Onkyo recievers from the early 90's are great value,would have been a fortune new then,and of course they were made in Japan,not china. You can pick a high-end one up for between £50 and £100 on ebay, whereas a top-of-the-range 70's amp,like a Pioneer or Marantz are now upwards of a thousand quid. So grab a bargain whilst you still can. Remember, heavier the better. ------------- Be seeing you. |
