    I'm suprised this thread is still alive... 11 years in the making haha!!!!

     

    i've yet had another change in speakers and what not, still DIY'ing.. mostly!

     

    Okay, just a few things, I currently getting components to make my new surround speaker setup for the new house.. this is what I have so far..

     

    These old school Foster Tweeters which will be used for the rears with some 4" midbass drivers..

    post-103969-0-46230400-1417169758_thumb.

     

    These Selenium horns and drivers will be the mids for the mains and centre speakers

    post-103969-0-71797000-1417169759_thumb.

     

    The big round horn is a Dayton 8" round horn tweeter, I have 3 of them which will be used for the mains and centre combined with some selenium drivers..

    Still looking into the woofers, but I'm looking into the Dayton 8" widerange drivers which have a high efficiency rating which will keep up with the horns.

     

    The bass duties is coming from this beast, which will eventually be replaced in the new house as the box is too big.

     

    JBL P1222 subwoofer in a T-line box... FS is 28hz so it digs quite deep!!

    Also been working on a second system just for 2 channel music. Collecting Technics gear and will be using these Ev Sentry 100a's for the music :D

     

    That JBL t-line sub will be eventually in use with the music system for the added low frequencies to relieve too much bass on the vintage speakers..

    Oh Boy!!! just reading the stuff I had in the previous posts is crazy!! i guess i go thru alot of audio gear!!

    Well... for ANOTHER update!!!!

    I now have

    *Pioneer VSX-816 Receiver

    * (Mains) JBL S99 Athena's (Lancer 99) modded with JBL LE5-2 midrange and JBL 2404H Horn tweeter.

    *(Centre) Custom box to be built with 2 x JBL LE10 woofers, LE5-2 midrange and 2404H horn tweeter.

    *(Rears) JBL LX66

    *(Back Rears) Technics speakers of some sort..

    No sub as yet as im on a quest to find something to my previous one.. something like http://www.istonline...ch5_uxl_18.html if there are any importers that can bring them in, that would be great!

    I will also be building a couple of 160 litre boxes for the S99's to sit on for height and the 160 litre boxes will have a jbl 2226H woofer in each box to company the s99's as they are vintage and i only want them to take car of the midbass range and let the 2226H do most of the musical bass work.

    Here are some pics of what i have now!

    Wow new layout! anywho, on topic now....

    I have a very nice Technics THX receiver dolby pro-logic, nothin fancy like todays but very nice vintage equipment that ill keep forever, but i have had this problem since i bought it off ebay, got it for 500 so im happy, but anywho, it randomly overloads when i turn it on or when in operation, i have posted a video of what it does. i just want to know if there is any place on the mornington peninsula that i can get this beauty of an amp to get serviced and have a look at?? other than that it works fine and sounds beautifully and i wouldnt depart from it. even the slightest tap on the receiver sets it off too. i think there maybe a short in the front panel somewhere, i pulled it apart to take a look and i coudnt find anything but just sexy insides lol!

    I have bought a set of dream speakers off ebay, and well, i gave them to my parents a few years back, didnt like the sound after a while, im now stocking up on my ne6w ht system with accusound 8.8's as mains and surrounds and 8.5 centre, just trying to find a sub now, but they sound marvellous for their price, so they are a go ahead for those who are on a budget, Justin from Audio Australia is fantastic with fast responses and 3 day delivery, i i recommend for anyone who wants a cheap/decent sounding package as an Entree for HT setup!
