For sale: Very high-end DIY speaker system, I helped design and build about 20 years ago. It is a project- as it will require some re-building.
This system is four-way, tri-amped, with passive crossovers (included) between the midrange and tweeter. Drivers per channel are: tweeter: 1- SEAS 27TFFC, midrange: 1- Focal 7V313, mid-woofers: 4- Madisound 8252R 8", subwoofers: 2- Eclipse W1238R.
The cabinets for the mid/tweeter and midbasses are Woodstyle, from Madisound. The mid-high cabinets are sealed, and the midbass cabinets have one Dynaudio aperiodic Variovent in the rear of each cabinet. The mid-tweeter cabinets are in good shape, including grills, but the midbass cabinets will require some repair, as there is some damage to the plinths of the cabinets. The cabinets themselves are in good shape, save for one missing grill- but the plinths have gotten slightly wet in storage, and will need some remediation. The cabinets for the subwoofers were built-into the wall of the original installation- and were not save-able, when this system was removed. I do have the specs for the subwoofer cabinets.
This system, as mentioned, was tri-amped. We originally used a Madisound Sledgehammer 3-way active crossover and a couple of four-band parametric EQs on the bass and midbass- but, all of this function could be much more easily accomplished now, by something like a DBX Driverack. That's what I would recommend, wholeheartedly. I can give the buyer a good starting point for the crossover settings in the Driverack (active crossover points of roughly 50Hz and 400Hz). The original passive crossovers (2.6KHz) between midrange and tweeters are also provided.
I don't know of any practical way to ship this- it's available in the northern Atlanta GA USA area (I'm in Kennesaw GA, but can drive to meet within reason- I have a pickup truck with covered camper shell).
Asking $600 for the lot.
This, frankly, was one of the finest audio systems I have personally encountered anywhere- and that includes very high-end systems I have worked with, that have price tags of into the seven-digit-dollar amounts. I would really enjoy having someone put it back into use...
Thanks!
Regards,
Gordon.
