My new toys

Hi,

Dynacord still has a range of PA speakers, I remember the brandname from studios, festivals and guitaramp speakers.



DYNACORD GERMANY.

Main thing is they seem well made and Fostex aren't the kind of speakers I'd spit at.

Fostex could be considered the hi-end hifi dividion of Foster who make everything including the monster 1" drivers in your laptop.

Fostex hasn't been around all that long relatively and the vintage stuff (hifi or othewise) is Foster.

Yeah, I checked out the website, but they don't seem to have an archive of old kit Shame.

The boxes each contained a 15" EV bass and an EV compression slot tweeter, along with the 4 Fostex drivers I claimed. The other drivers needed reconing, but were otherwise industry standard, and so my mate kept them for stock. I didn't get much chance to look at the crossover, but I may well be able to salvage some other bits from that as well next week.

The next thing on my list of possible things to blag are a couple of dead Toa 1200w per side power amps. The electronics are completely shot, and to be honest, they don't sound that good when they do work, but I might be able to use the hardware and PSU caps for something

Well, I finally got round to testing these drivers, and I'm a little put back. The computer monitor speakers idea will be delayed, as these are very definately mid range drivers...

Fs 167Hz
Qms 7.16
Qes 0.83
Qts 0.75
Vas 4.96L

Oh well, I'll stick them in the cupboard till I have time for another 3 way

why not trying a little push push TL?

with such Vas and Qts, you could build this in the same size as a classical computer speaker
