let me introduce myself. I'm Patrick, from the netherlands, and I am a BFM addict.
I came across this site about 3 years ago, and since then everything i thought i know about music and stuff got turned upsidedown... god what a ride... i wanna thank all off you forum posters for your knowledge. I never needed to post something here, because every question got answered in another post. ( learned how to search here
)after 2 years of reading i jumped off the fence ( that's what you guys call it? i'm dutch, so some things are hard to translate for me ) and start building 2 T39 (27 inch wide) and 2 dr200....
that was a very frustrating build. I did everything wrong. I used MDF, wanted to build everything in a week. The first 3 times I tested the T39 it was full of airleaks and sounded weak. And the dr200....man... i almost trew them away. ( glad i didn't.....lol ). I wanted to build them to fast....wanted to get them done for a weddingparty.
i decided to give myself more time, so i can build them right. I did the weddingparty with my old set-up, and i began to repare my faults on the build. after two weeks of reparing i started up the T39.....MAN! I really dont know how to descibe it in english.... I thought i turned on two, but it was just one T39....I thought i was in heaven....
Then the dr200... i build them with the asd1001 i got laying around, and got them bi-amped. I never, NEVER heard a speaker that sounded so bright, open and powerfull...to make a long story short ( well...short...i think i am setting a record for the longest first post. ) I fell in love all over again...
for two years I've done my gigs with this set-up...two T39, deltalf loaded and 2 dr200...never had a complain that I was to loud, always compliments about the sound.
Last year a friend came up to me and asked if I was intrested in a gig. He organised easter celebrations on christian highschools. ( i hope that is the right translation ). Not your typical easter, but a cool dance/hiphop thing, with a message. I said yes, and thought to myself "hmmmm....i need more bass...let's build 2 more T39, but now with the premium driver....
)I build them....first time right this time....baltic birch, enough time. only got 3 airleaks....
last thursday I fired them up all four for the first time....i was in heaven all over again. The old T39 on channel one, 35v. The new T39 on channel two, 50v. It filled the school's auditorium, and the first floor classrooms with bass...
next build: two more dr200 ( maybe with ribbons? )...
let me introduce myself....I am Patrick, and I am an addict.
