New crossover from Iconic

[Steve Burger]

Jim Dickinson and I were finally able to test the latest crossover design of the 704. It is the latest in design of the Iconic Jennings Designed line of crossovers (formerly available only for the 604e and 604g). During the R and D phase we supplied Jennings with every other known design of crossovers (as we did with the e and g series) The testing on the old Altec design (which is what we had been using except some minor tweaks,with the best available parts) indicated a 5db peak before the xover point. The new crossover maintains the sensitivity and dynamics but is +/-1db throughout the range.

We listened to it last night on the same driver and it was like listening to a different driver. As good as we thought the old one was it actually was painful to switch back to it after listening to the new one. The old one sounded EXTREMELY harsh and hollow next to the new one. This is no exaggeration or figment of a snake oil induced imagination.

It is now available. You can contact me at [email protected] for any of the Jennings design series of crossovers.

BTW the cost of this unit in regular version is $280 each. The supercrossover version is $425 each as of last week but every week it seems as though there is a huge increase in the price of copper parts and that price will likely be adjusted by Monday. The regular version does not use nearly the amount of copper as the supercrossover so the price tends to remain more stable.
