Re: HORNS!

If you are considering using MS amps with horns, you won't need more than a MS275 for each channel. There are a lot of DYI horn designs on the market so I encourage you to try to find, and listen to some designs. Remember that if you want bass...you need BIG horns; that's why I use a good active sub...

Re: HORNS!

Well I have to admit I thought about that option for quite some time but wanted to keep my own cabs Tom. A mint set of La Scala's that was recently offered for sale here in The Netherlands; they didn't sell for the 2000 euros asking price. So if I wanted to sell mine they wouldn't have fetched what ...

Re: HORNS!

Actually it's a three-way system....there's a horntweeter as well which covers everything from 4500Hz and up. Since I replaced the mid-horns there's no room for them anymore so they simply sit on top of the cabinets. I also did not fit the crossovers inside the cabinets anymore for easier adjustment...

Re: HORNS!

Very nice, makes me think of the image dynamics horns from the 90s car systems, they needed mid/bass drivers to assist though if I remember. Whats the bottom part of the speaker with the triangular look for? It's the basshorn which covers everything below 400Hz. Hidden in the closet under the tv is...

Re: HORNS!

Update; after three weeks of listening to the Electrovoice HR60 horns sitting on top of the La Scala's I decided to keep them. This also ment that I would cut out the motorboard to accomodate them thus altering the original looks of the speakers.... something I always avoided while upgrading them. F...

Re: HELIX H400 esprit

I don't know the brand anymore, just that it was [conservatively] rated for 100 Amps continously. The person I bought it from demonstrated "that it was fully working" by short-cicuiting the outputs with a piece of finger-thick iron....the rod melted. It was WAY overkill for a home-install;...

Re: HORNS!

For quite some time I used MS amps for running my home setup. After selling the whole collection due to circumstances I changed to tube amps and stayed with them.

After opening up that amp I saw a brand new board; these have never seen daylight before. Just the way I like them.

As most of the old members know I stopped refurbishing MS amps some time ago, but when I came across these four I couldn't resist. These will be serviced and posted in the for sale thread when ready. Two of them are close in serial; could be hand-made the same day... All of them from the first owner...

Link does not work; it says enter a minimum amount of $10,00........ but even with higher amounts I get the same page telling me that I have to enter a valid amount over $10,00.

Too bad, I just happened to have a few grand too much and thought I'd donate it.

Hehe.... last week I found a sub that can keep up with the speed of the horns and completes the sound right down to 18Hz. It took several listening-hours tweeking the sound to get it right, but I'm very pleased now. Also added these underneath the input-tubes; http://www.acoustic-dimension.com/ They...
