In Reply to: Re: Triamping my high-sensitivity linearray speakers. posted by LineArrayNut on January 17, 2007 at 05:28:08:
Hi All, when I tri-amped by Altec A7 (with a tweeter added) I drove the 515B woofers with a Crown D150, I drove the 1505 horns with 288C drivers with my 300B and the tweeters with a Sonic Impact. I have never heard tweeters sound so clean and crystalian. I fed all that through a Rane active crossover. Cheers.
Follow Ups:
I've got some A-7's on the way... what tweeter did you use to augment them?
I *like* the loudness button!
I used the Beyma CP25. It is a commercial tweeter that is not well known. I might just have really Fu@&ed ears, but I have not heard a better tweet from any of the super high end manufactures. You can see the tweet sitting on top of the A7 just below the 1505. Cheers.
What model Rane crossover are you using?Thanks.
Sorry for the delay. It was the 23. Cheers.
...and hearing and seeing the dbx Driverack 260 in action*, I've sort of settled on it or its little brother the Driverack PA, but I'm open to other opinions. Sure wish I could find one that had RCA (single-ended) ins/outs that didn't cost $2500.Also occurred to me that I can start using a digital speaker-management system now, without adding a tweeter amp, and probably I'll do that.
* it's used by Clayton Shaw of Emerald Physics to X-over/eq./time-align his new dipole system, the LS-1; see link.
