naah

for Lorenz simple , common , 70L box but with extremely cunning and ingenious (hey , I'm ZM! ) DIY Variovent

small ML TL will be so called bent construction , neto 240L , for tanns

 

[brianco]

Good!
But I think the others are lazy DoDonots!

Hope they (Lorenz drivers) show promise enough to have a pair of good boxes made.

 

[Zen Mod]

those are ER 12" drivers
in fact , for my hearing (ZM is older than Dodo) they're FR

anyway - I still didn't hear anything (comparably by both size and philosophy ) from any other factory even close to them

these ARU-ed 70L boxes are most probably just temporary housing for them

they deserve best , so I'll made that one day, even if as just sport activity

That's what I am going to try for 2226. GM calls it TQWT. I asked him about MLTL and he said above .5qts horn, .4-.5qts MLTL, and <.4qts TQWT. Of course high About amp helps increase Vb. Hmmm, where do I find an amp like that

at least comparing to All Technical Division counterparts

I told ya , if ya wanna speed .........

 

[buzzforb]

I know. Wife said I had to make decision. 2226 was easiest to get. The TD 15M has lower MMS and vanishing Le. It will be next try. Then I go 416. Dunno why. Probably just subconscious decision to keep playing

Custom variovent. Nice! GM gave me a little Tqwt to try with 2226h, then told me he prefers ALtec I cant win.

He's a good man that GM

wakooyank

you are going to use 600W speaker for home , with 25W amp ?

don't cry later that no-one told ya .......

those JBL's are killer in humpingjumping place , but for home you need something more agile

515B is faster than manymany mid drivers ....... and 416 isn't far from that

 

[Zen Mod]

He's a good man that GM

you're disqualified from correspondence .......

not because of mentioning Good Man GM , but because I hate ya

 

[Cal Weldon]

wakooserb,

As I've mentioned to the buzzdude...

416 = better bass
515 = better vocals

Call Bill H. and ask what he would do. I hear the new drivers from GPA are good.

 

[Cal Weldon]

The 3154 and 3156 seem to show promise depending on what you want to do.

[Cal Weldon]

Nice "variovent"

Ah crap Got that out of the way. just caus eit can do 600W, doesnt mean it has too....unless you are saying it wants to be pushed that hard. Could always put speaks int he window and listen outside 515 is enticing, but is $1000. 414 is chcepaer, but nobody really pushes them much and I really want to do the big thing. CAl, you suggested a guitar version of Altec speaker as possibly having best mids. Some bouys on jbl forum also have a tendency to lean towards guitar speaks. K140, K130, E145. Of these, K130 seems to be most nimble based on specs. E145 has very good rep as being fast,crisp, and articulate. Any experience. THis is both horrible and wonderful. I wonder if I could sell......
