Finally got to putting them together.
Capt Jay did a marvelous job with the assembly and finish on the cabinets.
Danny sent the kits
Cheeseboy did most of the work in putting them together.
We got both the cabinets mounted with woofers.
Got one of wired.
Fired it up.
Had some issues. Will need to adjust some more - but exhausted today
Jay was available all day for phone support - very patient and not willing to give up on us - thanks once again.

Congrats Sunil!

Going to be insane at your place when it all comes together.

Have to do a GTG when the madness is over!

Soon very soon - this COVID has taken a toll on all activities. Steve came over and hard worked hard all day and that dams Teflon covering on the wire!!

On the side note - the Klaus magic is in full glory.

Glad you had help from the Cheese Boy on these. Looking forward to hearing your impressions when you get everything together.
Every now & then I think about pulling the Super V’s out and put them just to the side of the Super 7’s and just run the Woofs for kicks to see what happens. It would be a very tight fit.

What all did you end up having done on the Odyssey’s? Any opinions formed yet? I still go back and forth on sending mine in. Should give Kraus a late night call and see if he has and thoughts on my situation. I feel like I’m in a rut. Need to figure out a couple issues with the Oppo. Finally bought an old Mac Mini and want to turn it into a Roon Server.....

Decisions, decisions, decisions....

Life is all about decisions.

We ran out of driver wire and hence could complete only one “tower” - plus Cheese had to go home “early” to scrub his deck and polish the hutch - so the project is on hold for the moment.

Where can I get the driver wire?

Hey Sunil
First off, was fun helping you guys,wish I could have been there in person, would have been fun ! I know this has been a long journey but happy it's getting close for you.

Funny, when I was talking to you guys yesterday, I never even clued in the Steve is Cheeseboy !! Now I know.
Remember, when that 2nd one gets done, you need to switch from the Sub out to a left/right pre out, will give you better results.

Talk soon man

Oh, and just call Danny to order some more wire !!

I called and left him a voice mail.

Thanks for your help yesterday.

Building the second tower today - hopefully everything runs smoothly.

soundofrockets · « **Reply #15 on:** 8 Sep 2020, 03:57 am »

All done. Basic settings on the amp as per recommendations from Capt Jay.

So far so good.

Thanks to Cheeseboy for gething the project up and running.
Thanks to Bruce for providing special cables.
Thanks to Capt Jay for his technical support and above all patience and excellent customer service - we ran into a hiccup- but he stayed with me till the end result was to my satisfaction.

I will next attempt the NoRez.

For Danny - what would be a good cross over point between the LS9 and the Twin Triple OB? I think I have them crossed at 50 🤔

I'd start with it turned all the way down to 25Hz and work with the phase setting to get that dialled in.

Was a pleasure Sunil , and all that pre-cut no-rez we sent not be too difficult for you, just take your time and make sure you have it where you want it before you rub it down or it'll never let go of that high gloss finish.

Congrats! Got them both assembled and working! Woo Hoo!

I imagine you should be able to dial them in pretty easy. Your LS9’s already dig very deep in your setup. Bottom octave or 2 is all you really need these for. Placement might be a bit of a challenge - where are you placing them?

soundofrockets · « **Reply #19 on:** 9 Sep 2020, 01:17 am »

Hi John - I plan to place them in the back of the room - Left and Right back subs!!!

Dialing them in would be the next challenge after the No Rez lining.
