Ok, so I have been using these speakers for a while now. Greg the Geek at GZ helped me out designing the boxes initially, and he came up with a 38L sealed box, which I then constructed from wonky offcuts of 19mm MDF. Ugly, ugly boxes.
Now, I am currently running a Boozehound Labs-style 6CZ5 SET amp, for about 1.5W per channel, and the speakers are plenty loud for my small room, and worked very well for the large party in a large, open warehouse. My complaint is that they are very directional above about 3.5Khz. I would like to add another driver to the box to help out. (basically, I'd like to make this a two-way sealed box.) Now, this is not to say that I don't have mids and highs in the current configuration, I do, and they sound very good. It is simply the directionality issues, as the mids and bass fill the room nicely, but unless you are in about a 10 degree cone, the highs just are not there. Speaker specs: Features: # Reinforced paper cone # Treated foam surround # Center whizzer cone for extended high frequency response # Stamped steel frame # 1.5" voice coil # 20 oz. magnet Specifications: # Power capacity: 60W/100W RMS/peak # Sensitivity: 90dB (1W/1M) # Impedance: 8ohm # Re: 6.6ohm # Le: 0.60mH # Frequency response: 36Hz~17KHz # Fs: 40Hz # Qts: 0.45 # Qes: 0.56 # Qms: 2.40 # VAS (liters): 56 # Xmax: 3.0mm Dimensions: # Overall frame diameter: 8" # Required cutout: 7.13" # Mounting depth: 4.0" I am looking at the following tweeters: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/produc...53-526-/53-526 http://www.mcmelectronics.com/produc...2801XL-/53-540 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...331328#reviews I'm really leaning toward that Alesis 1" from Parts Express. It fits the budget best, and it has good reviews from others. Given that I am currently building a PP triode amplifier with some serous sleeper tubes, I figure it is about time to work on the speakers again. I'll be using a pair of Hammond 1615 output transformers, and should be sporting about 15W of output per channel. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I included it just in case. |
