Been listening to Ray Benson and gang for many years. I was heartbroken to discover he was originally from Filthadelphia, but he made up for it by living in Paw Paw, WVA, and then finally moving to Austin :) Sam

Hi Sam,

Yeah I love this suff. (amoung others) It has a big full sound to it.

Well, the tent sale JBL 2245 eighteens are now in 8 cu ft cabs, courtesy of Dale Gernert (Robert G on the JBL forum) and he'll be delivering them next week. I'm psyched. I'll be going the bmar route, with 3115's set in horizontal mode on top of the sub cabs. That will represent my "compact" system; har!
My problem is the ROOM. I still don't have the right place for the big stuff. I've seriously been looking for someplace to rent just to put the system in; some good, big room not far from the house. Right now, there is an office in the warehouse down the road, where I will set things up for awhile to dial things in. Probably leave it there for a few months, free up space at home, and allow me to run down on lunch hours for some jams.
Dale is an interesting dude; I need to find out more of his background, but when it comes to JBL stuff, he's got the knowledge. He is on speaking terms with Greg Timbers, JBL designer who concocted JBL's flagship statement speakers over the years. (who knows, maybe he'll come to MAF.............) He confered with Greg on issues during the building of the subs. He is a bit of a perfectionist.
I went with the plain flat black utility cabs, since the rest of the stuff already looks that way. I'll add corners, grills, and casters, for my usual hybrid approach of home audio and pro audio. That when when next years backyard party needs extra low end oomph, out they come!!
Cigars? Hmmmmm, always try them, like some of them, don't like the 24 hr aftertaste.

Congratulations! [message #38967 is a reply to message #38961] Fri, 08 November 2002 13:01 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Your 2245 subs are gonna be killer! When they're in 8-10 cubic feet tuned to 30Hz, they're my favorite subteranean source!!!

By the way, thanks for keeping me posted on the room situation in Lima. It would be great if you would arrange it so that the "π guys" were all grouped together. Except for Duemm. He'll be taunting us with those cigars! :-)))

Guys,

My Studio 2 Pi's and 1 Pi's are on hold while I work with Dave Cope on his Quasi Pi 3 ways with passive /active/ ? crossovers and Tads and JBL's and Eminence or now it's Tad C.drivers in Martinelli horns. Also, I'm rewiring an old Heathkit amp and playing with different coupling caps in the Paramours and wondering if I like the Alpha Core coils in the Theater 4's and buying the parts to scratch-build a Soul Sister preamp (killer)! Trouble is I haven't had a chance to really listen to music in a really relaxing way in weeks! Having fun, though. BTW, my wife just asked what I want for my birthday in a week! What do I say? any ideas? Hee Haw!

MikeBake; how do I make sure I get a room? [message #38971 is a reply to message #38968] Fri, 08 November 2002 15:50 Go to previous messageGo to next message
