I didn't "get" them all at once. Lots of long delayed appreciation for Jack Bruce, Lonnie Turner and Garry Thain. Teenage years :- Harvey Brooks (Supersession) & Peter Overend Watts.

APOLOGIES TO TRBBoy and Phil Starr:- In my earlier text I transposed the colours for the two drivers. It is the Faital that is the MAUVE line, the LaVoce is ORANGE. Regards, Balcro.

The results are in! Based upon the OP's supplied internal dimensions, the Faital and the LaVoce are very close. WinISD calculates the net volume as 59.80 litres and with those two ports, the tuning is 60.06Hz. LaVoce is mauve line, the Faital is orange. Input power 180W. Both are very loud. See graphs for transfer function, power handling and cone excursion. Faital Pro 400 neo £179.

Hello TRBboy, It looks as if Bill Fitzmaurice has found a really useful speaker. The LAVOCE is £120 from bluearan.co.uk. Precise measurements of internal cabinet volume, internal port width and port length are needed from you. Then the speaker modellers on here can get to grips with showing you what you could get for your money.

Excellent refurb. Well done.

OP. Why not try here? Promising? https://hartke.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045666093-Hartke-Service-Centers I spoke too soon. "We no longer offer recone kits. You can order replacement speakers for your Hartke product by contacting Customer support at [email protected] . "

Tjohnlee, If all else fails, and even hartke.com can't help, except at extortionate price, then there is still a way to put the cab back to good health. However, do not forget the wise words from Phil Starr - "Any replacement speaker is not going to sound like the Hartke original, even if they are a good match for the cab the midrange which gives most of the character will be entirely different". There are some well matched speakers with a good tonal balance and with an upper frequency response that appears to extend beyond the Hartke original, which will produce a good result. I don't think you'll find them lacking in punch. Before we can give you further advice we need your co-operation to provide some measurements. 1. The internal height, width & depth measurements of the cabinet. 2. The width and height of the slot port. 3. The depth of the top panel to the slot port, measured from the outside. 4. Inches are fine. We can do the conversions.

When you say "sounding good", the question must be "what sounds good to you". Given that you have the Beyma SM212, I find that there have been subtle changes to it over time. My own files from 2014 show an Fs of 40.5Hz, but according to the listing under "Discontinued Speakers" it has a Fs of 43Hz. Such subtle alterations by manufacturers over a production run are normal, but it might be sensible for any plans to be based around the higher Fs. An extract from Phil Starr's inital briefing on the general design spec, https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/227904-1x12-cab-design-diary Capable of keeping up with an unamplified drum kit (120dB across most of the frequency range) Compact (60l or less) Neutral /clean sounding Easy to handle Good low frequency power handling Readily available components, and easy to build Value for money. I stand to be corrected, but I believe the SM212 was the driver that was finally chosen for the BC Mk.1. If you're basically happy with a little "warmth" and an overall even presentation of sound, then building to a 60L internal volume will give you that. Please see the "recommended internal volume" here. https://www.beyma.com/en/products/c/low-mid-frequency/112SM2128/altavoz-sm-212-8-oh/ The DATA Sheet is here:- https://www.beyma.com/speakers/Fichas_Tecnicas/beyma-speakers-data-sheet-low-mid-frequency-SM212.pdf There will have to be compromises in the design - building a 60L box with 12mm panels and some bracing may turn out to be heavier than 10Kg. The Basschat "massive" will undoubtedly advise you further on developing your loudspeaker. The best of luck.

104 HAGLEY ROAD EDGBASTON, BIRMINGHAM B16 8LT United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland P: 0121 456 1904 [email protected] These people appear to be the distributors in England, but judging by the lack of obvious stock they're not doing a good job. Anyway, worth a call to find out the situation. If they can't do the job, then strinsdirect.co.uk can usually be relied up to come up trumps, but it may take some time.

For general listening and comfort I have the Beyer Dynamic DT-880. The Pro versions of the 770, 880 and 990 all have a slightly elevated treble response so are best for recording / monitoring etc. Comments have been made by reviewers that the PRO series have stronger headbands for a tighter fit over the ears.

Good Post! Morrissey is so right

THanks for the picture. Combining that with the list of parameters in Stevie's post tells a big story. Those speaker drive units are poor. "xmax 3.3mm!"; "totally inadequate"; "the stock drivers are fairly flimsy". Those comments say it all. The speakers aren't up to the job. Give the the K212 a trial, but take your own amp and leads to test. Start off with the eq set to flat ( as per the handbook) and adjust from there. Good luck.

As Bill said, go and try for starters. The move to a 2 x 12 would give a small increase in drive-unit thermal headroom, but not necessarily more bass and or more volume. Your first paragraph suggests the output from the cab is sounding a bit stressed, so before jumping to buy a 2x12 I suggest you indicate on this thread, where you have set your volume & tone controls on the amp. Alternatively, try some different e.q settings, such as progressively cutting the bass and then progressively increasing the low-mids - test & re-test. Then repeat for the hi-mids. After that consider leaving the treble flat or even trimming it back.
