Al K's Extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme Slope Crossovers!!!

[laatsch55]

Lee,
What is the consensus on the new x-overs? Sound, power handling, etc?

Well Nick, I can now say....worth every damn penny, they have handled everything I've thrown at em..and the cleanest the horns have been..

It was the 2 resistors next to the cap that did the Kimber in.

I wasn't clear ... never knew there were 'Kimber' caps.

 

[BlazeES]

Tony....the hash I was hearing during DMT is no longer there!!

It always pays to have a reference slice of sound to use as a test case, especially when doing repairs & upgrades.

 

[Northwinds]

Could be why that channel sounded like shit...

Damn bro. Anything more robust that can handle the heat but still stay in spec you need?

Yep. DMT is my longest heard test tune. Then Crystal Method and Moby..

Yep...and they are really good..Al uses the best he can get his hands on. In the extremes hes using Clarity and Solens..

 

[Geegz]

Great test songs Lee especially Moby!

I have always liked The Police for separation “wrapped around your finger” and for testing LF NIN “Down in it”, and of course “Ramble On” especially the intro.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I prefer "Time" by Pink Floyd. The clocks all chiming, the alarms go off, and then the magic starts. I test all equipment on that song (among others).

Yeah, Moby "Play" track 4 has the longest lowest bass note I've heard...

The same reason I like DMT by Shpongle...a lot going on in that song..

 

[laatsch55]

All 3 of those test tunes are also very well engineered...Moby being the worst of the bunch.
Around 10 PM last night I put on Dire Straits " On Every Steet" and couldn't turn it off till it was over. By the second song Jani was downstairs telling me to turn it up and dancing around the mancave. Props to the neighbors on letting us cut loose. The must like Dire Straits...

 

[BlazeES]

I wish I had neighbors like that ...

 

[laatsch55]

11 pm on a Sunday was above and beyond...bless their hearts.

Between the Harley's and WOPL's, my neighbors leave us alone.

 

[laatsch55]

Intimidation factor of 8.5....

 

[Bradrock]

I have NO neighbors within hearing distance. Good thing too, as I don't get wound up til after midnight.

 

[laatsch55]

What a great bit of circumstance there Brad!!

Midnight??? Dang, I can't remember if I've stayed up that late these days... I needs my beauty rest man.....

 

[laatsch55]

"Iron Hand" is goose bumple stuff....

The horns have never sounded better...fuckin spooky...
