Tung Tung and more Tung

After I built it, I sat my fat butt on it for a test and figured it was good to go. I'm not 100% sure about that one amp I showed you though (the one with all the iron top and bottom).

It should be fine.:lmao:

I still can't get over that snazzy crossover...

I've never seen anyone else build a crossover like that. It really goes with the amps!!! Very creative and perfectly executed!

After 9 coats I'm calling these good for now.:yes: The system and room are sort of a work in progress, but I have to get at least the system going by March 15th for my AK get-together.:thmbsp: You can see in the pics where the front door used to be (a window now with my wifes truck peering in). I'm really hoping I have finally got them far enough apart to get a soundstage and some imaging. I'll most likely run them with either 2A3s, 300Bs, or triode strapped 6CA7s. RexEverything is coming a day early to the bash, so I may make him decide on the amplification. My pre won't be done in time:thumbsdn: but I have a bottlehead one that will do for awhile. I can't wait till the shin-dig. I don't have the right drivers for the Emilars yet, but Urizen is sending me a big ol' pair of Heil ribbons to try out. The 511s do pretty good up high, but they just seem to leave a little on the disc. We'll see. I also added a poplar shelf along the wall just behind the speakers. It should be able to hold a table, pre, cdp, crossover, and a couple different amps. (The doggie beds will have to go)

I was at your bash on the 15th and your speakers are the bomb! Way more bass than my A7s. As to adding the high end super tweeter, I dont know. There are several threads on the Lansing heritage site about this and no one seems to get them to integrate properly. Best results at this use small super tweets and try to put them in the mouth of the 511 and still not quite right.
The general consensus seems to be either live with it, or replace the 902 with some of the BMS 4550 or 4552. These drivers are flatter than the Altecs and easily go to 20 khz. Ask zilch for the info, or search it on the Lansing heritage site. I thought yours were fine!
