Re: This will be at Iowa...
Looks great! How do you like the TMM over the MTM? Same 15W/8831? I have my baffles cut and drivers mounted :(Comment

Re: This will be at Iowa...
Brad,
I will have to get back to you on the preference. I have not listened a bunch yet. But, so far, I would say if I had to pick one and did not have a sub to use, it would be the 2.5 way. I kind of like the dispersion of the MTM and it may be slightly more balanced and may be my preference if I can have a sub. The 2.5 way consists of SS9700 tweeter/15w4531g00 upper woofer/and 15w8531k lower woofer. I ran out of 8831G's, but that is what all 4 MTM woofers are...With the Morel ET338 which is growing on me.

Re: This will be at Iowa...
Very interesting... Going to Iowa, eh? Well let's just say I'm very glad my entry is going to be in the "under the price of a bag of dirt" class.Don't listen to me - I have not sold any $150,000 speakers.Comment

Re: This will be at Iowa...
So- the 8531 is the 0.5 woofer? I would guess you are getting about 3dB of BSC with that then. Nice! How's the impedance?

Re: This will be at Iowa...
Hey Wolf,
You probably know, but although Madisound doesn't have the uncoated 8531K listed on the website, they do (or did...they may not be restocking them) have them and yes it is the .5 woofer. Also, as usual Rick Craig of Selah Audio did the crossover and he said it is a rather consistent 4 ohm load. However, the amp does seem to get hotter running these than the MTMs at similar volumes. So, it seems to be a little bit of a tougher load.Comment

Xavier,
That is Alpha-Core MI2 solid copper wire... I really like it. All the interconnects are AlphaCore as well.Comment

Re: This will be at Iowa...
Those stands were built exclusively for the MTMs. They are too high for the 2.5 ways. I do have oak stands for the 2.5 ways that are the right height, but some walnut/maple ones will be made.
Actually, there is a striped sub in the works...:DAttached FilesComment

Were you saying very nice to the speakers or to the fact that I finally broke through my technological ineptitude and figured out how to post pics ?Comment
