Klipsch Corner horns vs Altec lansing VOTT A7'S

[laatsch55]

Thankls Paul, I was gonna ask that myself, ubnless he's moving dirt in hjis spare tiome with em. Scott(Gibsonian) runs subs too, but just for movies in the home theater.

I do not have the wings attached. I have seen them, but do not have them. I have a pair of Line Arrays, a pair of Martin Logans and a pair of Altec A-7's all in my front speaker area..no room for wings..

The A-7 was not intended to be a full range speaker. There is another speaker cabinet to handle the low frequencies. I don't have a sub at this point, but will have sometime in the future...I know I need one really badly. Kevin has one that we built using the Lambda Acoustics 15" sub driver, and it makes all the difference in the world. His system rocks..mine not so much..I have everything above probably 50-60 hz covered, but I do need a sub to get down into the 20-30 hz area...I do know what I am missing...

Then Kevin will hear his system again for the first time when his WOPL gets there.

Lee, I talked to Ming the oriental fella and he still has the Imperials and they are all original. He wants 16 to 20,000 for the pair. If you want I can PM his phone # if you want to talk to him

 

[laatsch55]

Nope, not for that. the original woogfs were not up to the cabinet, and until recently one could not be found for the right mixture of cabinet volume and loading. The cabinet and idea itself had to wait for woofer technology to catch up.

Build'em Lee

K-Horn killa's.......maybe....hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Men You can put different drivers in the voice of the theaters and you will get thundering bass but will lose the detailed mid-bass. I put some CV 15 in them and the bass was outstanding with no need for a sub, but lacked the mid-bass. 6 of 1 half dozen of the other?

 

[laatsch55]

Yeah Mark, could b. this guy tested over a hundred different woofs, and had to change the mids on some.

 

[Skratch]

With the 700 driving the subs and the Paradign control you can smoothly blend the sub to the altec's without losing any of the mid-base. If I use the turntable or reel to reel there is not much that goes through the sub even with my pioneer RG-1. With the CD its night and day.

 

[laatsch55]

What's the cutoff to the subs??

 

[Skratch]

Its adjustable from 30 to 150, also the phase from 0 to 180 degree's and the volume from 0-25. I normally use 80 as the roll off depending on the music. Also Ming told me that the EV Pitcarins blow away the Jensens?

 

[laatsch55]

That's open for debate i suppose mark, but the imperials are quite something. I think you mean the Patricians? I've heard good things about them. Can ya believe it. we are talking about designs by the founders of audio speaker design and pondering the points of each, some 60 years later. Good stuff.

Time to update your avvie, can't see a WOPL 1000 in ther e!!

 

[Skratch]

Do you think we are much Younger. I used to listen to Frank at as loud as my old mans Zenith could go

 

[laatsch55]

I used top listen to Steppenwolf when Mom and Dad would go out on his Heathkit he put in a console!!

 

[kevin]

Wow.... First time Ive been in here in a while.... Ive missed alot of stuff... Skratch.... nice man... REAL NICE LOOKING STUFF.... And Sutton is so right... He has twice or three times the stuff I got but I ten to one rather listen to mine just cause of the sub.... With all the stuff and power he has he needs two subs... When I get that PL 1000 on mine hell I my want another sub myself....

 

[ksrigg]

You don't need another sub...the one you have is not even turned up half way is it??

 

[laatsch55]

Na, he just needs a set of K-Horns, then the rest of his stuff will be redundant.

 

[kevin]

Im gonna have the power soon....... The only way Im going to get better is a speaker up-grade of some kind ?????????

 

[laatsch55]

I don't know Kev. Them are some fine lookin speaks Bud.

 

[kevin]

Thanks... And Yea I like those better than anything Ive ever sat in front of.... I cant wait till Sutton gets some bottom end on his VOT'S..... That will tell me alot !!! In my mind its going to take something like your K- horns or something REAL big to move mine to the rear !!!!!!
