Hello everybody

need some help please please........i am going to be building a set of pro9-TL speakers using the original KEF B139 but will be using a vifa mid and tweeter. i need help with a custom crossover for these speakers. i will find the vifa model numbers once i am home and post them up. also if anyone had a decent copy of the pro9-TL documents they could send me would be a great help.

get yourself x-over pro and you will be able to design your own crossovers. Better alternative to passive crossovers is to use active crossovers and more PAs. With three way systems a compromise solution is to use a passive first order crossover between mid and high and an active one (4th order bessel is the best) between mid and low.

cheers,

Any reason not to use the original units?, you can still get them in Ebay.
I have an original Pro9 with the B139, KO40 and Audex.
Rfurbished them fully including caps replacement to Mundorf.
They sound great!
Please let us know how they sound with Vifa.

Im doing this project as a semi declutter. i have vifa midrange and tweeters in the garage i have also a pair of philips tweeters. so i am trying to make these speakers to put good stuff to use. i will be running them of either a musical fidelity a120 or a Quad 44/405 with a marantz CD-94 MKii. i will let you know once the project is done and will post some pics
