I must say I'm very pleased with the end result, the new foams look almost identical to the originals:

For those of you who don't know, Graham Hartle has recently started making foam grilles again for the JR149, JR150 and JR SuperWoofer, after a hiatus of several years, which is great news if your JRs...

Time to resurrect this thread once more!

After experimenting with in excess of twenty HF2000 tweeters, I have now settled upon a matched pair for my original 2015 refurbished 66s. I suspect this...

I'm not sure I'm any the wiser. Are both woofers wired in anti-phase, or just one? If just one then you'd expect almost complete cancelation to occur in the space between the two woofers?

EDIT -...

Excuse the pun, but I'm baffled as to how anything remotely resembling a typical house curve frequency response (-10dB slope between 20Hz and 20kHz) can be achieved, without EQ to apply an inverse...

I imagine the combination of 1) baffle step roll-off; 2) early LF roll-off from using too large an enclosure for the drive unit; 3) LF peak at port tuning; and d) room gain; can wreak quite a bit of...

Ah, ok Frank, that makes sense, thanks.

Which implies my calculation is still wrong as I'm getting 174Hz for the Arden, based on a width of 660mm.

Should f3 calculations include the width of the cab sidewalls if they stand proud of the baffle? E.g. if I were calculating baffle step frequency for the Edinburgh cab do I include the width of the...

Interesting findings, JohnJo. Pity you don't have measuring gear as it would have been interesting to see the difference in frequency response between front-mounting vs rear-mounting. Perhaps...

You may wish to staple a piece of cloth over the rear of the port to contain the rockwool particles that may become airborne as air flows out of the port.

I should have made it clear that my Tannoys are "frankenTannoys". The Prestige Edinburgh was an 80s design that used front-mounted 12" 3149 drivers and time-compensated crossovers. I removed these...

Making some adjustments to the plywood plinths my fully-refurbished Celestion Ditton 66 stand upon provided the perfect opportunity to not only spend a couple of days re-acquainting myself with my...

As of yesterday my ESL 63s have a new owner not too far from me :). I had a last minute wobble and questioned whether selling them was the right thing to do, but then came to my senses and accepted...

I understand the NS-1000M is designed to be used against a wall but I didn't realise they meant an exterior wall! ;)

I love the finish on the cabinets BTW. It reminds me of the "tobacco burst"...

I'm curious about the lack of interest in these speakers?! Is it my location or is my asking price too high? Surely there must be someone in the northern half of the UK itching for a pair of ESLs?!

I've always suffered from this issue, - my ears get accustomed to the tonal balance of the speaker I'm listening to, then when I switch to one of my (many!) other speakers it's quiet jarring until my...

Thanks Ken, I'd have really struggled with them if it wasn't for your patient answering my endless questions! :)

I can't help you with Windows I'm afraid, Dennis, having been a lifelong Mac user. The last time I used a PC, Windows XP was still the most widely used OS!


Quite the opposite actually. All I...

That's a good point, Martin, but I was thinking more about the balance I have between the upper bass frequencies, mids, and high frequencies, which seems to have very little downward slope.

In...

I should confess that I have no EE training and was very much learning as I completed these projects. I found RoomEQWizard an indispensable aid to help corroborate and explain what my ears were...

Cheers, Dennis! It's a relief when the hard work pays off. There's nothing worse than putting blood, sweat and tears into something that doesn't live up to expectation, so I'm relieved I finally...

Thought I should update this thread with how my Ditton 66s have been tweaked since my last post. In short, nothing much has changed. I still have the polarity of the woofers inverted to provide a...

The effect on inverting the polarity of the woofer with respect to the mid driver is even more significant when measured at farfield distance from my listening seat. Instead of elevated output...

Pair of B&W DM4 loudspeaker grilles in Black.

Good condition with some minor age-related wear (a few bobbles and some dust marks), but no significant damage.
