lemme see........
-JBL 4343
-wakoo sense of humor, since teen years
-he started building things when I was 2yrs old (Varta Bunny jumping toddler)
- 30 yrs of PL
- PassWorks is a helluvaname for Company; how I didn't claim that first
?
- Papa likes to be loved; having Jill always and all around, that's no less than Status Quo
- J2 is still sort of benchmark, not just of popularity; however, there is replacement in pipeline
-biiiig honking MoBo for JBL active xover !!
- 4 to 5K amps per year...... Baaaad Papa! (and crew)
- similarity is similarity..... but then there is also a similarity
-we are the Cheapest.... but also Happiest Bunch (though, if I start thinking how many different amps I made in years, just to learn something ..... beat me - this is expensive almost as Fishing )
- oh yessss! I have 240GB of Papa's lounge muzak 🙂

how about a “Legends of Diyaudio” interview series? Imagining ZM, MR, MJ, 6L6, etc ... how they got started in audio, advice, etc.
Mr Pass just did two more interviews with Steve Guttenberg the Audiophiliac. He mentions a high power (100W) SIT unit he is doing.
I was thinking about that number - I saw it at the bottom of a spreadsheet
and later decided that if it was right I was missing some income...
Turns out it's about half that.....
Its a great loudspeaker and will appeal to anyone wanting to restore, tweaking upgrade with improved crossover parts
my friend in Belgrade is having a pair, driven with SissySIT
btw. he's Wizzard for making these from scratch; he made pair of bigger ones (two 15" per side, can't recall number) and these, strictly with all drivers freshly re-coned with genuine parts
they're made and looking exactly as factory made, in fact even better detailed

Very fun interview! The 4343's are kinda special. There's a reason the Japanese guys love them. You often see them paired with big amps but I've driven them very successfully with just a a handful of watts, and I've also tried high-power on the bottom, and flea-watts on the top with a First Watt B4. A nice dedicated Pass active XO would be the cat's pajamas. 🙂
active xovers are for Sissies
and for Youngsters
(just ordered a pair of 1.2mH/2mm Dia CuL, for bass section of new Tann boxes for living room
time to say bye to OB, due to reposition of speakers in room)

Did any post a link to the interview papa pass did with the next big thing?
It's mostly a reflection but still a good video. I'll post it if no one has.

Opps sorry got this thread mixed up with the other one (audiophiliac). Please ignore previous post.
I'm most interested in Nelson's impressions of the GPA 604 and the 15" Radian coax, if I got that right.
I heard a factory-built FW F5 on a friend's Altec 604 (not sure which iteration), and it sounded very enjoyable. He liked it better than a Sun 2A3 he had.

if not the latest one - E suffix**, as I recall - forgetabout damn 604 - simply no highs above 10K
and what's the point of damn big honking piece of everything, when it is not doing what's intended to
I wouldn't have anything against adding one nice tweet above, but with Tannoys DC you don't need it, even RCA LC1B, with it's venerable piston like tweet is not exactly demanding supertweet
so, be careful which 604 you're dealing with
**check on GPA site what's latest by nomenclature

There are many full range speakers with high efficiency that can be used just for the mids. For bass the pro series of Eminence are very efficient as well one can use. Then are are always horns. Personally I would not build any speaker that is not 90db or better. There are many excellent 85db speakers out there but just not for me.
