Re: Tweaking Castle Conway 3 speakers
Hi Bob, all,
Yes indeed, great to meet up, Bob made me very welcome and I couldn't believe we'd been chatting 3 hours by the time I left with 2 very heavy bases! We joked there were no tolerances on the drawing and Bob said it was ok, he'd made them exact dimension, he had too Good job my measurements were good Bob, you were right about those mount holes btw, checked the old bases and the holes were 9mm in them! They fitted exactly, drop on swap and perfect alignment! Very much heavier and completely stable when the spikes are adjusted to the floor, no wobble or flex in the new base plates. The sound is definitely changed and I'm still getting a handle on it. Tighter bass with better definition for sure but the treble is also clearer. I tried with 1 spacer between cabs and plinths as before, then 2, then back to 1. Very interesting and will post more as it will take a while to get to grips with! Here are the pics, 25mm steel, 12Kg each, machined and powder coated in sky blue pink - err, satin black - and I can assure anyone Bob does a super job, |
