Interesting Speakers

They are not a distraction, they are the attractionšŸ˜‰

You haven’t heard the SH60 alikes yet, now I’ve got them really singing..

Shall we meet up and talk over what synergy MEH would fit / sound best dispersion wise for your place?

@dom you are welcome to come and have a listen anytime.
By the way, how’s the Jmod project coming along?

I have a large pile of bits, but still not got around to getting the wood cut or starting assembly. Life is getting in the way atm. Currently aiming for summer time :sweat_smile:

Would be good to listen again

My lounge - 16 years ago Hedlund horns, Neat Petites and Monk JX92 transmission line efforts.

Those Neat Petites look really smart with the solid wood roundovers. My pair had a much more basic veneered box.

Yes - These were a one off and very early pair - bought at a show by my mate .

I still have them in the loft. Unfortunately both bass units bizarrely went solid.
I’ve spoken to Bob at neat years ago about new ones,but he’s not sure how to get into them. I never got round to listening to them

Interesting those Hedlunds look familiar or maybe not

Did I sell them to you Rob? - From memory I picked them up in Gloucester but not 100% sure. When I bought them one driver was scraping - had to get it realigned.

Could be the rubber surrounds. I’ve seen spendor drivers that are completely seized due to the rubber hardening

I picked them up in Wolverhampton

It was the whole unit I pulled the surrounds of and they still wouldn’t move.
Lived in a very small house and put them in the garage. Was a really cold winter and wondered if that had done it. Wouldn’t have thought it would of though

Maybe adhesive failure due to the cold, magnet shifted and trapped the voice coil.

Like the simplicity of these looks wise

How are the Sonido FC drivers doing?

Still letting them settle initially they sounded a little overly smooth seemed like treble roll off - currently messing with different types of rear damping original stuff was quite thick just waiting on some egg crate stuff to arrive

In the Acousta cabs I’ve just lined the chamber directly behind each driver with 3mm felt.

But I’ll try & take some measurements this week & see what they are actually doing. They sound pretty balanced, certainly less peaky than any other whizzer coned drivers I’ve tried with the exception of the AER BD5.
