My condolences for your loss. Trust me man, I know I've been there and I think most of us can relate. You take something you've spent countless hours on (and probably a fair amount of money) and totally destroy it by trying to "get it just right". It's part of the game, but it's the part that sucks.
To cheer myself up after the loss of the first satalite, I finished the second one off. What you see here is the final product, no more finishing required.
After seeing the finished results of this one its given me impetus to forge on with the others after a bit a low with the destroyed sat.

ShinOBIWAN, that finish looks awesome! A fine job indeed!
How long has it taken to achieve that level of finish? 😕

Not actually that long.
I started on this three days before I set the other one on fire.
So around a week from priming to finished product. Quite a few hours work though, all depends on how picky you are really, I probably need some psychiatric help in that department.
Beautiful work Shinobiwan. Truly one of the best I've ever seen!
And never mind, we all have our stuff-up stories.

David your too kind, I wouldn't go so far as to say they are the best ever seen though 🙂 Although I am pleased with the results.
Ok getting close to finishing one of them!
The bass cabinet is all sprayed up but needs sanding and then buffing up like the sat. I'll also wax them both when finished to give even more reflectivity.
Apart from that, the sat needs its isolation spikes adding and the plinth for the bass cabinet is missing but I'm struggling to come up with a colour that will contrast well against the pearl finish. Any idea's???
Here's the work in progress shots of 'nearly' finished speaker:

If I still have the photo's I'll try uploading them again to the webspace.
They were working, at least for me, when I originally posted that 😕

beautiful . how is ir possible to screew ATC dome not going thru holes from speaker front ?my ATC drivers are waiting for cabinet too.

With the amount of money you paid for waves, I would have sure otten much better hardware(talking about xo, amplifiers here) 😉
Otherwise plain amazing look you've got...

And what makes you think I paid a thing for Waves??? 😉
I've taken a look at everything out there that I could find regarding digital XO's. Trust me when I say the PC is by far the most superior, EVERY element is upgradable leading to better performance than any of commercial stuff. DEQX/TACT look good but your still limited to the onboard DAC's, software algo's and processing power.
Amplifiers are being moved over to KrellClone KSA50's so I should have some class-a amplification.
This thread has been very interesting. I have a feasability question. Would I be able to use something like an M-Audio Delta 410 and run my fronts and center as active 3 ways with a parametric eq on my sub(s) while running my surrounds passively? So I could use a computer to do the same thing as a DCX2496 and DSP1124P? Would I have any sync issues if I ran just the fronts/center active while having my surrounds passive? Just doing some brainstorming. Thanks for any input.

You'd need 12 outputs to do what your wanting. Not if this is possible on the M-Audio 410.
The Parametric EQ can be done via CurveEQ or LinearEQ and both offer FIR phase perfect filters - superior to the DSP1124.
Sync issues aren't a problem for me but I would have to agree that it is easy to be a victim of it. A combination of Voxengo Delay and Theatertek lip sync delay sorted out my very minor sync issue. Moving over to a dedicated PC XO box will also provide much better performance.
You wouldn't have any delay on the passive rears if you passed the signal through just a digital delay in the PC XO. Voxengo Delay would be perfect for this.
Sorry, I was a bit vague. I wasn't planning on having 3 subs. That does bring up another question though. If I have stereo subs, do I need to connect them individually or can they be connected to one output with a y-cable when doing parametric eq?
flexibility, that is the word...ShinOBIWAN said:
nothing compares to being able to rip all you cd's, compress them lossless to flac or ape or anything else and listen to anything you want without touching no cd at all.
then you got all thos wonderful professional plugins(they are really pro) and pair it with a decent ASIO card and bingo...
BTW, what do you use for ASIO routing? Is that an application that came with the prodigy card or it's a 3'th party app? I used to use winamp paired with a directx plugin adapter for being able to use some plugins, but that's far from what I want. That ASIO router of yours looks really cool 🙂
OT:
Does anyone know if the Behringer DCX2496 unit has a turn on thumb? My real question is I suppose, if I power cycle the Behringer unit while my power amps are on, will this probably destroy the tweeter in my speakers? I'm not using any passive filtering on any of the drivers. I know this is slightly off-topic, but there are DCX2496 users participating in this thread and I was hoping someone could confirm or deny that this is a problem to look out for.
