Delkat Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Kentos showed up today! Can’t wait to hear them compared to my (non-CT) Quatro Woods. I’ve actually been using my vintage model 2s for the past 2 months while waiting for the Kentos. I’m 95% sure I need to set the M5-HPAs to 200Hz for the Kentos. The manual references all the other speakers set at 100Hz but I think the Kentos are the outliers. Set up will be a good project for the Holidays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have to work today (to pay for them) and then off to LA in the morning for the Holiday. I'm going to try to get the amps set and the speakers hooked up later today.

Just wanted to make sure the 200Hz @3db down was how the HPA controls are spec'd. Thanks for the guidance and there may be some more questions coming regarding setup.

TomicTime Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Todd - actually..i had to check the manual myself… you can do the EQ later, get started breaking them in w EQ controls set to flat ( as shipped ). So happy for you - have a great and safe holiday 😉 jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GdnrBob Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I haven't looked at the video, but assumed it was Jay Leno's garage. @Delkat, Nice Pics, Congrats! I agree with Jim, let them get some hours on them before dialing them in. I never though 'break in' to be noticeable until I bought a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelf speakers. Suddenly, one day, they just sounded different/better. YMMV. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit of a race though, as there is drying the wood, council approval, and the milling of native Jarrah is slated to end in 2024. I can get “bush poles” which are telephone pole looking timbers about 8-10 meters long and ~20” in diameter. And I might try vacuum bagging as a drying technique, or see if the Kiln can be hired over the holidays. The planner is a bit of a beast and ~2500W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmz Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 True, but one cannot easily run a telephone pole through a planner unless you have a lot of bench space and rollers. (Hence the hand held model.) How does one feed that slab through the planner? … and catch it? (it is a nice looking piece of wood.)

GdnrBob Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Damn, that is one serious circular saw. But, it didn't seem to go through completely. Also interesting is the male chauvinistic attitude- 'Let the little lady handle the saw while daddy guides you'... ☺️ B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own and am selling an older model Powermatic planer with a new Byrd shellac head lol. It opens up wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
