THEY"RE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SONIPHASE S6

[laatsch55]

The Soniphase SL6's are gone. Sold them to a Bud here yesterday. Finished em out with the Elliptrac wood 2" horn with the BMS4592 drivers and Crites CT-125 tweets. Tri-amped with a Pioneer SF-850 electronic crossover, the Carver TP 2400 on the bass bins, a PL 400 Rev "C" quasi comp board, and an HH Scott integratged on the tweets. I am no longer his wife's favorite friend. There was some things about the set-up I didn't like and will rotate out some equipment. The TP-2400 I thought was weak in the low bass depnartment. I don't think it goes as low as a WOPL, or has as much control there as a WOPL. The 400 on the horns needs to go fuly comp, much smoother in that department. and still wondering what amp would do the tweets better.

All in all a damn good sounding system. Source was an Onix CD-1, Pre was a PL 2000 Ser II


PS.....I will be trying some BMS-4592's in the K's tractix horns...

Just got ahold of this thread topic. Nice. Still.......only about half the size of MY cabinets Lee? I still fancy a round someday. But I need to hear your set up!! Jerry, how heavy would you say my woofs were? 25lbs, is heavy Lee! I think mine are around there at minimum. But multiplied by sixteen. That's how I make up the difference for a deficient speaker output. LOL!

Nav.........love the avatar. That's my favorite one so far. Hello!

I haven't been as bold as you though Lee. The cops haven't seen the inside of my foyer yet.

They've seen mine a lot. First name basis...

Are those toroids I see in one of those pics Lee?

 

[laatsch55]

Yep just to the right of the rack...

They Sure Look Mean.

Those big speakers you have there, how do they work? I mean you can't see the woofer. Are they "Bass bins"?

I have only experienced one pair of K Horns in original condition. They were sold at Innovative Audio this past year and I sat with the couple as they auditioned them. I can only imagine how well Lee's sound. Right now, IA is selling a pair of Altec A-7 VOTT for their Facebook Special of $800 cash.

And the Klipschorns:

I just did a quick read up on them before work. Makes sense now, must sound great, damn they can go low in the frequency department!

 

[laatsch55]

Scary low. Especially if your amp can go to ten hz. I believe the K can go to 17 hz.

Bet that's why you see 'em in churches.... Those buggers... they play those organs so close to the "brown sound" that if you ever go to church hungover you're asking for it... hehe

Finally got the tweets to finish out the Soniphase yesterday. Drove to Timdalf the Grey's house and went about getting the tweets in and fine tuning the whole works. Without a mic and spectrum analyzer we stumbled around in the dark for quite awhile until we put on some Shpongle. Now I KNOW what Shpongle should sound like and that caused a lot of progress to be made. Timdalf the Grey lives out in the country with neighbors far enough we fired the SL6's UP!! Still not sure if we have the crossover points and slopes right, but we were close enough it sounded pretty damn good. That particular driver combination of the EVX-155 woof, BMS-4592 2" driver with the Elliptrac horns and Crites CT-125 tweets is an awesome combo. The SPL meter will never be the same and my ears are on a 3 day sabbatical....
