AVANT GARDE valeraine comp set USER !!

[shinchan]

waa sure boh ?!
if like that i confirm makan ping pong biskut for 2 months !!!

so i can pay u :P
:lol:

 

[shinchan]

duno the mid can withstand such a power anot munwai..

i think maximum the mid can go is 100rms ?
my opinion only though :P

still.. feeding the tweets at 50rms sounds good.. i think anything above 50 will blow it .. hahah

anyway consult gary and see what's his recommendation.. maybe he will ask u to save up not to buy the amp but upgrade the active cross to burbrown chip !! (which he says cost +- 4-500)
and he claims will increase performance overall...

hey why not we make a avant garde tt ah ? :P so we can share share and see who's setup sounds nicer?

 

[munwai]

i heard the BurrBrown Xover upgrade liao....hehehe....i temporarily exchanged my xover with the BB Xover....SWEET!

but honestly, it got difference, but its not really apparent, because the weakpoint is in my system...meaning, i need to upgrade my own amps, system FIRST before i can get the full advantage out of the BB upgrade...so the money to buy the BB upgrade, i should use to kautim my own stuff first...

anyway, can lar, Gary did say i can use my blaupunkt...onli that, just be careful with the gains first lor..hahahaha...

currently, with my tweets and mids on my Sony 4ch..i think the sound abit sharp on the tweets, so my HU i have to lower the treble abit...

argh, 5soul, i din check the forum for some time, i missed ur T3-2600!!!!! if available again, let me know ya!!!!

 

[5soul]

Hehe.. i tot is should be the other way round.. buy first then eat ping pong bisuit.. hehehe

Munwai, will update u if available again.. that one too fast. I posted price update just for a while and that guy terus confirm booking.. :P

 

[edgar_raphael]

i heard about the BB but what does it do and how is the performance be improved?

 

[munwai]

basically its an upgrade for the Xover unit, change the regular op-amps to BurrBrown ones... BurrBrown got a few grades of op-amps with different prices, so u have to check with Gary...i think they still testing...i'm sure when everything is finalised, Gary will make announcement...

but from what i heard, there are more details, sound is crisper...impressive :)

 

[shinchan]

my avant garde :P

 

[xtorm]

BB sure got difference...:) wah cost around rm300-400 ah? i think shoudbahh, cos they r the main thng in the board, i change my earthquake 1 to 2134.......wow.......sure got difference.

 

[munwai]

shinchan, how is ur peerless in the enclosure u made? sound nice?

 

[shinchan]

this is the enclosure ..

it's in 1cu ft with 1" wood..

errm.. so far so good... :)

 

[PocketRocket]

ok...just installed my valeraines...tuning on monday..
looks like gary's gotta remove my seat to tune.. :P

 

[Yong_5290]

shin chan...glad 2 hear tat u got urself a good comp set...

i got myself avantgarde comp set also...but mine 'speacial' 1 lah...heheheh

miss my phoenix gold lah...now driving wit a cheap cheap rock a billy amp...i think mayb onli 30wattRMS :rolleyes:

i think u mean the imagining izit...like drums from the left,singer in the center then piano at the right site...?

the staging should be ok since the tweeter go down 2 1.4khz....bringing up the staging....

my system now also lacking of imaging...

ever since i got my avantgarde...i've been eating eat ping pong biscuit all the while :D

 

[munwai]

hmm shinny, nice enclosure, i think will do the same when i go to mega...need to improve my sub abit

pocket, what other stuff u use with the valeraine, share with us ur setup :)

fuhh Yong....what so special arrr??? i oso wan special :)

 

[shinchan]

yalo wui yong.. wats so special ah ? :P
share share la.. hhehehe..
it's hard to get a good imaging since avant garde focuses more on tonality...

just wanna share some of my thoughts here... since i love the tweets so much... was thinking in the future, to upgrade the mid to 6" (d-s-t's mid, DLS, MOREL) then... use 4ch amp bridged to whack the mids.. get another amp for the avant garde's tweet... get a active cross..

duno how will it sound ~ what you guys think?

 

[munwai]

maybe u should wait until the 6.5" valeraine come out...actually i was thinking about the same idea with some mids which were selling in forums, but then got a slight problem. u will have the old val 5.25" mids which u cannot sell off...

and maybe the mids u get have a different characteristic, so it may not match...so have to do alot of research first...cos u know lar, this valeraine set is very unique and customised...if u change one part, duno how it will affect the sound..maybe is better, maybe is not... hehe, shinchan, u try and let us know? ;)
