The Eagle has landed

[tinpan]

I finally got my A210's up and running. I spent pretty much Saturday mounting the bass drivers and moving the 803 horns back to the garage so I could fire them up. I spent about an hour listening to them and started falling asleep, wrestling those bug boys sure takes a lot out of a person. Sunday I spent listening and putzing around the garage. I need to do a lot of work to the 1003 horns so I started looking them over. They need various degrees of work to remedy the tar flaking off. Not sure if I'll use car underbody stuff or bondo yet.

I was worried I was going to have to send the 515's back to Bill and have him trim the frames, he even gratiously offered to do it at no charge, but with the sides already cut out, they fit...barely.

Next Saturday I'll break out the rta and start tweaking the A210's, then maybe I'll have a stand em up party so i can see what they sound like in the upright position.

I agree, that's quite the space you have to play in. It's bigger than my entire house!!!.

Nice dance floor! Those are real beauties--I'd love to hear how they sound....

I know it's a word that gets thrown around a lot, but those are truly...awesome.

They look great. Would love to hear how they sound when completely finished.

That's alot of speaker to be moving around. I'm sure that you got your exercise for the day when working with those speakers.

Great Job!

Would raising them off the floor with Heavy Duty shelf's or stand work ? Can't tell how much space you have till the ceiling but, if you could it would allow you to reclaim some floor space.You would just have to point the HF horns down into listening area..
