MCM Clearancing has begun...

  • The last page of the manual gives a good indication of the connectors.

    Oh, and there is a line out which will output the primary zone. This will scale with the master volume. So if you have a two way active sealed, and set the woofers on zone1 and tweeter on zone2. And set the zone1 as primary and add a couple of powered subs to the line out, you have a nice 2.2 system.

  • OK so I ordered one of these amps today (and I also cleared out most of their stock of clearanced wall treatments because I am coming to realize my speakers are good enough - my rooms are what needs the improvements). I hope the top and bottom end are accurate enough to serve as a measurement amp - Class D has issues, generally, with varying response based on reactance. 

    That being said - fuck me, did I sweat the credit cards this last month or so. I mean, seriously - I am indebted to Visa for more than I care to admit due to these "low prices". I am reminded of that famous scene from "Office Space": "What am I going to do with 40 subscriptions to Vibe?" - only in this case it is like "What am I going to do with 50 drivers?"

    OK, the good news is: I will not be buying drivers again for probably the rest of my DIY life. I have enough drivers to build a lot of pairs of nice 2-ways to gift to friends and family, and thanks to the clearance pricing from MCM and the affordability of Duratex - none of them are going to cost much. I just have to convince Mrs JR that this was all worth it. 

    FYI: I probably bought the last of several items on Saturday night. Fucking Johnnie Walker Blue on the rocks will do that to a guy.

  • We'll see if one shows up here. Just because one was in my cart when I checked out doesn't mean it will be there during order fulfillment stage. If it shows, then I am going forward with my next-gen measurement setup.

  • Could be on backorder and a 9999 day window.  :o
    ............. could you hum a few bars.
  • So is it safe to say pretty much all of the good stuff has been horded by JR and Chucky?  Nothing left for me to worry about buying ;)

  • Sadly, of all of the items I shoved in my cart on the last order - only one of the three iPhone 6S glass screen protectors was in-stock when my order was fulfilled lol. 

    Oh well.

    On a bright note - my Tymphany DX25BG60-04 tweeters showed up today. I doubt the world should be crying in their oatmeal over the demise of the RS28. What a tank. Beautiful tweeter. 


    Now I need juuuuust the right midwoofer to pair it with. I think maybe the SB 5" alum I was originally going to use one of my Viawave with would be the one. We'll see.

    FYI - this is a cast alum faceplate tweeter that uses a traditional 104mm cutout. Eat it, RS28.

    I'm with you. There are a slew of tweets available at or below the rs28 cost that will work just fine as replacements. 
  • I like the sb26stac better and its 26 variants. Im Interested to hear the sb29s i bought from JR too. 
  • Picked up some of the AP6.5" 55-5615 and Gradient AXP 54-845.  One the first order they were $14.25 and $13.  Think it was a day later and the price dropped to $10.69/$9.75, ordered more.  I was hoping they would drop again before closing shop.  No dice.  Really wanted some of the 6" select too.         
  • Sigh... MCM redirected me to Newark website today. Here is there driver selection:
