Bill,
I didn't shop at the right place for horn supports. As Bill knows, I did not have any high-tech support for my Altec horns I used on top of my JBL 3677 cabinets which are only 11" deep for a horn that is 13" deep or more. But, I just wanted to say that I used a 4" thick piece of foam 18" by 12", which will give you about 4" leeway for movement forward and back.
Bill, I have to tell you that your crossover is still 1.6khz since R2 sets the basic load for the crossover and R1 is in series with the ALtec compression driver which being 16 ohm, will only amount to less than 1 ohm difference being presented to the crossover, the voltage division with 16 ohm is half as much as would be with the 8 ohm load. Did I guess this right here experts???? But I know what you mean, I had the same system here myself.
Currently still trying to break the 2-pi's in with a Sansui Receiver "Six". Even though this unit from the 70's is only 28 watts/chnl, It is moving the Alpha 10's quite nicely. It is strange to see "cone movement" after using JBL 2226's for the last year, they pump bass even when they are barely moving.
Bill, when is the new "tubed amp-Ella's" gonna be ready, can't wait to hear them???
Regards, Ron
