Got the new cabinets into the apartment today! Boy, wasn't easy carrying these beasts up the stairs...
Very excited to be giving everything an audition right now. Having never built my own cabinets before there was a part of me that was terrified I was going to hook everything up and have it sound awful, but it sounds great! Big improvement over the Boleros...
Crossover is pretty close I think, immediately after turning them on the horns still seemed to be overpowering the 414s so I might try swapping a bit more pad into the circuit, I bought more resistors figuring this might be the case... Going to let it all settle in for a few days though first and see if the sound changes. Might just be my ears but the 414s already seem livelier after just a few albums... they are brand new recones and all 🤷
Gotta hustle on getting the grilles made, I'm hoping having a different color on the front might break up their monolithic appearance and "slim them down". Fair to say my wife does not love their size...
Boy I love them though!
