Re: Back from Christmas.


Well they do sound very good, but a friend of mine wants to buy them, and my amp from me so I've already got another design in the works using the Dayton RS150-4, and the Vifa DX25. A nice "high end" (for me) two way series design.
I've got the crossover designed, but you know how that goes - when it's made, it isn't always finished. I'll be ordering the new stuff here in a couple weeks after I get back from vacation, and after my birthday (the big one eight.)

My review of my current TB design is this:

_____

Smooth, and rich. I didn't but a BSC in there merely because I was trying out an line level (active?) BSC with cut too much voltage out, but it doesn't really matter because these speakers are right in front of a wall (two inches at most) so they aren't lacking the bass I thought they would. Solid down to 50-60Hz if you don't listen at ridiculous levels. I was playing CoD4 as loud as I could possibly stand, and they stood up to the task very well, but obviously they sound much better setup with a nice sub.

They sound much better than my Pioneer S-X4g vintage monitors I was using before. The voicing is very smooth, but not as laid back as my dad's vintage Celestion SL6-s's. Overall I'm very happy with them, if you listen in a small-medium room, or want to use them for surrounds, I'd certainly approve. But if you were going to have away from a wall, or hanging somewhere a BSC should probably be used.

I will definitely include pictures before I sell these, and build pictures of the new speakers as by them I hope to have a camera. =D I don't have a camera now, and my brother took his with him when he moved out. =(
