why dont all members enable their approximate location in their user CP,cant see any reason why it wouldn't be a good thing.
although i built my Adires to more suit the 300b s/e i am tempted to build an amp to more suit the KLS3,as they are so good with 15 WPC or more.
just as you think you've got it right you find you havn't.

Hi Brian-it is rather a long way for me to come,which is a pity.

Ella. I bought it from Brian Cherry at Diy HiFi Supply.

How much is too much?

Surely you should judge your speakers from the listening position?

Yes, it may well be me looking for something that doesn't exist. I simply detect some colouration in the vocals and excess bass on some tracks, this is what makes me get up and mess about with the speakers and other things. I'm trying to get rid of what I perceive as a negative effect.

If I remember rightly, you have a small room. I would have thought the likely problem you refer to is the result of the speakers being too large for it.

Peter,

How suitable is it for use in the compression chamber and line of a rear loaded horn?

The room is 22' x 11'10". My previous house had the smaller room.

I think my ears might be the problem, tbh.

Cheers, mate.
