Really liked the Linaeum ribbon and have a few lx-5's sitting around with the surrounds rotted ... what can I do with them?
1) Recone the woofer and live with the bloated and not very well defined bass/mid bass.
2) Replace the woofer; what will physically fit in the hole without major modifications and how will it work in the mandated volume.
3) Another DIY project. (Have a couple weeks off around Christmas
) The project would need to be; a) affordable<~$250 not counting cabinet material. b) fairly simple build (not a master woodsman or electrician), c) most importantly needs to sound good, as a reference to good sound, some of the best speakers I've heard; Apogee Caliper Sigs driven with Acurus amps, and the Spectral/MIT 2c3d system with Avalon Acoustics Radian. (I do not expect expect this level of performance with a ~<$250 investment, but it gives you an idea of the sound I prefer.) d) and it must be able to place the performers in their proper places on the stage, ie; the speakers must disappear.
Thoughts on the project:
... adding a ribbon tweeter (or amt?) to supplement the high treble where the Lenaeum response falls off.
... this could be a multi box system allowing the possibility of adding a bass woofer later while keeping the initial costs down
... and did I mention it has to be affordable, disappear in the music, and sound good. :rolleyes:
