Ako nag tweak but not on caps and wires.  ::) I followed some models of proac by using bitumen or asphalt as damping compound on the inside walls of the baffles !!   ;D And guess what!?!  The sound improved more.  :o

Before the added damping, I noticed a bit of midbass resonance on some music materials with lots of bass like selections from joe jackson and some softening of very low bass. But after adding bitumen, the bass got tighter and lower with lesser box resonance.  :o I also perceived a cleaner more focused midrange. I honestly didn't expect much on the upgrade but I was really pleasantly surprised with the result.  ;)

 


sir was there damping material (wool/polyfill) initially? does it have damper/spacer between the drivers and baffle board? i want to make some tweaks but i guess it's better to know these so i can prepare the materials before opening the speakers.

FYI:

The original Proac Response 1sc has Bitumen pads on the bottom, sides & top only. The front & rear has no pads. After the Bitumen pads, only a 1/2"-3/4" thick gray foam was loosely wrapped around the interior.

Sayang, sa daming beses na binuksan namin ni Anthony yung proacs ko......not once did we take a picture :(

Hi Anthony,

I've been commissioned to build a tube hybrid integrated amp which would be used for the proac clones. If possible, kindly PM me the specs of the clones specifically the overall sensitivity, frequency response and crossover frequency.

Best Regards and More Power!

meron pa lang center! ???

sir macdon, medyo hintay muna ako for the amp. Yung uncle ko may Audip Research preamp na gawa ni ruel ( cuz ni reynold) 5 telefunken Tubes, 13 to 15k lang DAW. Triamp na din daw.

Pero tingin ko mas malamang na mag integrated amp ako ni sir jojo.

Prepare to be surprised brader! It will definitely get better.....and better......and better :D ;D
Why do you think audio is a very addicting hobby? ;) ;D

Audio Research is very nice - but I wouldnt say its better than a Aikido :D ;D
You may explore the AR - but then again you still have to hunt for a good 2ch poweramp......when I say "good", it should rival the quality of the AR. So thats an additional cost to you.

With the 15k bnew tube integrated amp from jojod - you're complete na. Save the money for a decent cdp nalang ;D

Teka, is that an original AR preamp or a AR clone preamp?

actually, ganun din nga ang initial thoughts ko. pero i feel siguradong may improvement pa once paired with any tube based amp.

Aba, aba.......cd-rom ba yan? ang bangis ah! :o
Ilabas nga natin yung pic nyan dito:



Dapat ba "creative" brand lang.....or any brand will do? Eh kung dvd-rom, pwede ba maging cdp & dvdp narin? :D ;D

Aba, baka magkalasan ng mga cd-rom ang mga tao dito at magtakbuhan kina master jojod ah :D ;D

Brader Joey - some listening impressions naman oh ;)
