neutralzz 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) From these : to : sticking in the bitumen damping.. first layer in progress. sides and back were all made double layered to be fully damped. the exact ls3/5 made in england binding posts.. $55/set cabinet from martin's carpenter. (BAH they didnt drill many of the holes and the binding post hole was the wrong size) completed after some hunting arnd for the correct screw size, crossover done up by digi01. internal wiring's teflon 20awg ohno occ copper wires in single runs. (from ahfart audio) crossover mounted to wooden board and 1 piece bitumen for damping, and stuck behind tweeter with 3M VHB tape. final product : running in the tweeters right now. they've been in the box since 4th Jan 1978, and its their first day singing. so far first impressions, sounds excellent, and far more detailed then i've expected it to be. very delicate sounding and totally out of the box. only draw back's cant drive it too hard because the midrange driver doesnt take power well and clips easily when over driven or when bass's too strong. well havent loaded it with my tube amp yet.. been going transistor. gonna try tomorrow and will be back Edited May 19, 2006 by neutralzz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
