anyone to give me an answer?
Thank you
Thank you
Another Electro Voice Interface D/Sentry VI thread.

Most anything you need for your questions has already been answered, @lucamilano65
There is only a single electrolytic cap to be replaced, and it is a shunt cap for that woofer, if I remember correctly.
I replaced mine, and kept the rest.
The two port holes are if you are not using an EV box. Since you are saying you will have one built, then all you have to do is cover the other one. If the port cover is missing (such as mine is) you can cover it with most anything, or do what I plan on doing eventually, which is stuffing it with a rolled up piece of egg crate material, or whatever you have on hand.
There are about 5 threads on Audiokarma discussing this mysterious speaker, and I've read them all. Hope this helps!
By the way, could you send me a 21 year old carbon copy of Monica Bellucci ? That woman is painfully attractive, even now.
This is her, young.

La maggior parte di tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno per le tue domande ha già ricevuto risposta, @lucamilano65
C'è solo un tappo elettrolitico da sostituire, ed è uno shunt per quel woofer, se ricordo bene.
Ho sostituito il mio e ho tenuto il resto.
I due fori sono se non si utilizza una scatola EV. Dal momento che stai dicendo che ne avrai costruito uno, tutto ciò che devi fare è coprire l'altro. Se manca la copertura della porta (come la mia) puoi coprirla con qualsiasi cosa, o fare quello che ho intenzione di fare alla fine, ovvero riempirla con un pezzo arrotolato di materiale per casse di uova, o qualunque cosa tu abbia a portata di mano.
Ci sono circa 5 thread su Audiokarma che parlano di questo misterioso oratore e li ho letti tutti. Spero questo sia di aiuto!
A proposito, potresti inviarmi una copia carbone di 21 anni di Monica Bellucci? Quella donna è dolorosamente attraente, anche adesso.
Questa è lei, giovane.

Grazie !!
Monica Bellucci TOP !!!
I'm sure they'll suck for you and you won't want them....I wouldn't even bother.
by the way.... exactly where are they up for sale right now? I'm asking for a friend....
I am trading a minty mcintosh 4100 for them.
I will be slightly surprised if they replace the Cornwalls. But I will have an open mind and will report back
ok. Got em. Hooked them up to a very basic amp and they sounded GOOD. Will set them up with my main rig tomorrow.
To ask a question that has probably old by now - what is the best way to set up the EQ? I actually have the brochure but it is a bit opaque.
If I have an amp/preamp config it seems to suggest it resides between these 2? Using the tape monitor? I know I have seen this discussed so will do more browsing tonight.
As of tomorrow I will have a Mcintosh c32 as my pre. It will have bunches of choices.

this from Mark T.
Don't assume anything, the diagram is the right way to hook up the speaker EQ!
Your only difference is you are not hooking up the RR tape deck, the wiring still goes to your amplifiers tape monitor loop (you will need to go to tape monitor on the amp. or receiver to use the EQ box).
Since all of your sources now are switched through the tape monitor loop (now with theEQ in line) the speakers are now equalized (IF this EQ matches the speakers).
Adding "back" a missing tape deck to the now "occupied" tape monitor on the amp., you now just plug in your tape deck to the tape "in and out" of the EQ unit.
The setup I tried today was NOT this. I will futz with it tomorrow!

Been a LONG time since I've hooked mine up.
The back of the EQ should have a "main in" "Main Out" or something similar to that. (line, signal, input??? verses "main")??
Preamp tape OUT goes to this input. The other side (output side) which if I recall these two are the "outside" jacks? and the tape loop are the "inside jacks"??
The output of this then goes back to your Tape input.
This will only be working properly if you have your tape monitor engaged (sending the sigal to the tape output) and then the tape monitor of this unit would be in bypass mode, unless you perhaps have a tape machine installed there.....I never did.
I had a Yamaha unit that had as I recall, an "Adapter" jack which was essentially another tape in/out jack and that's where I had my outboard items plumbed.
Ultimately, I had my eq in the system and if I hit my speaker A+B switch, the signal (eq'ed with this unit) would also be sent to my LaScalas. Never noticed much difference with them, perhaps it is all done below their output level.
Here are the pages from the owners manual that I scanned.

In case you find this helpful.... here are the two brochures I had on them. I acquired these in 1979 (brochures in addition to speakers) and scanned these a number of years ago prior to giving the goods to my wife's nephew.
Here's the color brochure I had.

Attachments
yup, I have a version of the users manual for the eq and it has that diagram.
Attached is a pic of the back and a pic of them in place. IGNORE THE DISPLACED FURNITURE!
I have it connected without the eq right now in a temporary config. Have been playing with the various knobs on the speakers themselves (and the tone controls on my pre) and I have to say they sound pretty darn good without the eq but I will set it up. Just nice to have someone who has done it before give me some pointers.

so I set up the eq today (it was easy, I was just initially confused). It made far more difference than I anticipated. Afterall I have tone controls on my eq and the speakers themselves have controls...I sort of thought I tweak those....Nope.
Before the eq they sounded kind of tinny. Soundstage seemed small. Didn't like what I was hearing. Afterwards I would say they are very close to the cornwalls.
Tomorrow I will play with placement and see how much that impacts things.
Not prepared to say they are going to replace the cornwalls but they at least have a punchers chance now

1. Hook them up
2. Put EQ in system
3. Given their location, I'd presume you put the eq on either -3 or -6 (?) (I always had mine on zero irrespective of placement....also, they add together as I recall. So if you have -3 on eq and -3 on speaker, they are -6 db)
I never saw them side by side, I would have presumed they were essentially identical in size, which on viewing, I guess isn't too far off but the Cornwall is taller. Does it have risers?
One thing I've wondered over the years.... memory tells me you used to walk into a stereo store and went into the speaker room. I don't really ever recall hearing any standing wave issues. Later, it either dawned on me or I had a thought (still don't know what's true). With all the OTHER speakers in there while you are auditioning "the pair", could their woofers act in reverse. Turning each of those other speakers into helmholz resonators or something like that, absorbing some of the energy being put out by the pair you are listening to.
If there is any merit in that, I wonder if having your D's so close to your Cornwalls would impact what you are hearing/feeling in the bottom end department? It's an honest question because I've got no clue and have wondered for years about the effect of other speakers in the same room (with them turned off).
I had 100 watts available to mine. I ALSO had plumbed into the signal chain, an Audio Control C-101 equalizer dbx 3bx, and a dbx sub harmonic synthesizer.
I had the synthesizer plumbed into the 3bx so it would be in the expander circuit.... and those things made those speakers absolutely come alive. I could literally shake the walls. I recall once sitting on the sofa, head leaning back on wall as I was zoning out, a deep passage came across (think organ as I recall) and my vision literally got blurry.

Yup. I remember going into a store called Audio Consultants in Evanston Illinois (which has closed as I understand, RIP) and it was just littered with speakers and you'd say "i'd like to listen to THAT pair". Always sounded good!
The cornwalls are taller by a good 3"-4" I would say. And wider. Not as deep and I don't think as heavy, but pretty close
Well, they are in place, in the corners where the Cornwalls were. I toed them in a little but have no idea. Will mess with them
You are correct, the controls are ADDITIVE. -6 + -6 = -12, supposedly
CURRENTLY I have a sansui ba-202 which runs at 10 WPC or thereabouts. In reading the documentation for the EVs they state that should be plenty. In testing it seems easily sufficient. They get LOUD. The Pre is a Perreaux SM1 which I REALLY like. One reason I like it is it has bass/treble controls. Call me a heretic, I like me SOME tone controls
So, now that they are in place, got the EQ in, got the speaker controls on FLAT and 1/4 (which is wall/corner) Will give them a try. Then I will put the Cornwalls back in place and repeat!
WILL REPORT BACK

Maybe try this to increase your audio nervosa...
Put Cornwall in one corner, a D in the other corner. Hit MONO on your unit.... flip left/right/left/right
Take one leg of signal, run through EV eq, back into signal chain. Take other leg, and don't do that, taking its path to the Cornwall.
I have no clue how it would work, I'm just trying to pile up the work for you......maybe I'm sniffing out a pair of D's or Cornwalls when you're done.
