nice amp. i sure like my 5802. but i like these more:

 

thought you were an audiophile by your screen name.
cool amps, what do they drive?

 

they used to run drive-in movie theater speakers, 800 of them. i use them to run my line-arrays. 200 watts clean, 340 peak (ea.). i'm still fine tuning them, they are heavily modified Ballantyne Royal Sound Master MX-24's. I'm adding some more capacitance on the input, driver and high voltage output stages. they're remarkably wide-bandwidth for 2 interstage transformer coupled 1958 technology. i use the 5802 to run subs.

 

i was driving some klipsch's but i .....my wife destroyed them.

selling this to fund more parts for my project.
dont listen as often as i use to.
have a kenwood amp that is sufficient.

 

rebuild those klipsch's, they're worth it! i bought the 5802 after hearing my bud's 5800 on some klipsch with the active 12" and a passive 15" on the rear baffle... he blew them up too, lol!

 

i would but they arent my 1st choice for rock and dance music.

 

all the drivers

 

i guess she didn't see the clip lights...

 

i think she thinks they are cool when they flash!

she tends to crank it up while cleaning house.
it drives me out .

 

she could not blow these up; they soaked up 532 watts, no sweat (124dB)

 

Geez LineArray, what do the xover's look like for those speakers?

 

I never have used a passive x-over w/ them, always electronic and separate mono-blocks.

 

I suspect you guys are way ahead of me. I'm still getting by on my old Luxman amp and tuner and a pair of JBL 110s. I love those JBL 110s. If there is a better pair of speakers for listening to SRV, Lowell George, Clapton, Buddy Guy, Albert King etc. maybe I don't want to know about it 'cause I paid $170 for a pair of JBL 110s back in the day and I still love 'em.

 

I built them in 3 days, total cost (wood, screws, glue, drivers, wire and terminals) = $400

 

here's the xover components for the full rangers I'm building

 

Those look like some beefy caps, cool. I've used Aeon's in the few speakers I've built.

 

Hey guys,

can we get this back on track here?

The amp is still available.

 

wiil trade for spare engine also.
