Well that is good to hear! Those things need to get out of that shop and be heard! :yes:
And I forgot to say, tell your friend thank you for doing the other speaker.

Hmm.. those say they are for the EV T35. I do not know of they would work with a T350?

Only with my Phase Linear could I do that!!! But now I have only 1/3 the power. Laith has even less power than that (no offense dude)
You are welcome to stop by if you want though.
Also, they will be done (hopefully) by the time of the mercer island DIY convention.

****! Just thought... the reason why the tweeters are back mounted is that the magnet is too large to fit through from the front to do front mount (unless you took off the metal horn, and assembled it in place, I have done that before...)
Better leave them as is for now...

Wow, those are going to clean up nicely! Thanks for the pictures, keep them coming.
WRT power, those Sevens are plenty efficient and they will get plenty loud without a monster amp. Feed them with a well designed mid-sized amp *cough - Sansui AU-717 - cough* and they will sing very nicely, and sound stunning even in a church basement.
Nice work! Nice to see those old classics coming together, brings tears of joy. :tears:

You can see them at the DIY fest, or whenever I suppose.
Laith I think you can pay me back for the work by letting me listen to them one last week when they are done.

The amp that will be feeding these speakers will be a newly restored Kenwood KA-9100 by EW when I get it out to him.
But for the mean time a KR-770 will be feeding them.
The KA-9100 is only 10wpc less than your hafler. Your hafler puts out 110wpc into 8ohms right?

The Hafler is 115 according to the manual. I do not know the rating at 4 ohms, I bet its better with the MC boards and transformer.
Its best to run them with the Hafler for now, since it is the only amp between both of use that is really up for the task (no offense) except for the 2230b which I think would do a stellar job, but you seem to have an aversion to doing that.

I'll have to look into it, to see if I really care enough.

I am thinking these were the kit option where they would provide a baffle and the parts only, no cabinet. But what throws off that idea is the rear-mounted tweeter, and the shifted but perfect cutout for the midrange horn (due to the depth of the cabinet it had to be moved much closer to the 10" woofer)
