In response to a few inquiries last year on a few scattered Heil threads...
Hello AK AMT Heil Friends. Last year a few AK members asked me to post my project in a new thread when I started getting closer to done. Well, I'm finally getting back to it over the winter in 2014. Not done yet, but I fired 'em for the first time this weekend after fussing with crossovers for too long. Called on a few favors from a few friends for some extra x-over help, and I'm back on track again towards finishing up this long awaited side project. There have been some really cool threads listed here on AK over the past decade using the Great Heils. I had to part with my first ESS speakers to go to college. Now 30 years later I got to hear hear them again in my own design, and I must say I waited for too long. Should have done this years ago. WOW. Now if I could only get myself to take them back apart to stain and finish them. Not gonna happen any time soon now that that I can actually listen to them once again. Crossovers done, Heils re-diaphramed, just a few more tweaks, some porting and staining is next. Heils are still alive, or at least with some of us diehards still out here.
REQUEST:
Would love to see others post replies here with their customs, hybrids, bolt-ons, or any wild experiments.
