Jensen Imperial Driver

Andrewbee · 31st October 2003, 07:39 PM

Hello all,
My plan of the day is to build a pair of Jensen Imperials.
Can anyone here tell me what currently available (i.e. modern) driver will fit the bill ? I could use a bass driver and then a seperate horn or a coaxial. Anyone built / use one of these and had success?

Thanks

Andrew

Any low Q driver would probably do fine, under 0.3 maybe. I looked at building some before I got my Khorns. At that time I spoke with someone who'd built a few and that was his suggestion. You can build them with a coax if you can find a suitable one, or a seperate woof and horn.

Selenium, Radian, P.Audio and Fane make suitable coaxes (as do Tannoy - Gold/Red) and there are a myriad of seperate combinations.

Thanks for that Brett. I am mulling about khorns as well and put a "wanted" ad in todays paper for khorns, belles or la lascals but doubt i will get a response.
I have never heard a pair of Klipsch's but they seem to have quite a following.
So what do you think about the khorns?
The good and the bad
