GedLee Abbey's Feedback Wanted!

Letitroll98 · « **Reply #780 on:** 5 Feb 2011, 12:51 am »

I would note that this thread has less and less to do with "GedLee Abbey's Feedback Wanted!" as the pages go on. I've tried to be patient waiting for Jason to get his speakers and comment on their sound, which would be back on topic. If the self serving posts and backbitting continue I will be forced to lock the thread. Thanks for your cooperation.

GedLee Bandpass Subs

Nick77 · « **Reply #782 on:** 9 Feb 2011, 12:14 am »

Sorry but what is the purpose of a band pass sub, is that the only driver exposure is those small holes?

Yes, the driver's only exposure to the outside world is through the ports. A well designed bandpass sub can be a good thing because it only has acoustic output in a certain band. This is advantageous because it acoustically filters higher-order harmonics (non-linear distortion) that a conventional design using only an electronic crossover cannot do. Decreasing the non-linear distortion also decreases the localizability of the sub.

The heck with that, we want to know how they sound NOW! You can refine your review later and all, but initial impressions are everything in my book. Everyone understands set up and break in tidy up the SQ, but nothing like that first burst of sound to color subsequent opinion.

Maybe he hasn't "come up for air" yet, I know when I brought mine home and set them up and turned on the tunes, I sat and listened for about 10 hours straight. So yes Jason what are your initial impressions????

David C · « **Reply #792 on:** 9 Feb 2011, 05:42 pm »

+++1 on how they sound now. I am dying to get the feedback and views
come on Jason....spill the beans

A few thoughts:

My 300wpc Class A amps definitely have enough power.

C-L-A-R-I-T-Y

I don't ever plan on building a speaker again.

I'm looking forward to having all four subs dialed in this Saturday...

Until then, turn it up!

jtwrace, How about giving your impressions of the fit and finish of the speakers?

Randall Kepley · « **Reply #796 on:** 12 Feb 2011, 06:23 pm »

Jason, man I'm glad you finally got them in! They do look great on those stands if I do say so my self

if you ever have a few minutes I'd like to stop by and get a demo from you and the old adage usually holds true " That good things come to those who wait"! Congrats buddy. Randall Kepley

So, do you like them ? How did the sub setup work out ? Curious minds need to know.

He may have injured himself with 95dB speakers and 300W/channel amplification !
