Jeff, This request is a bit off the path considering the venue, but if you have a chance could you see how the Danley SM60 performs in a home theater setting, say center chanel. |

Can you put some prosumer-level 3-way cabinets in the mix... (ie: KW153, PRX635, HD1531)? |

Hi Jeff - I'll be interested to hear your observations. FWIW, Fulcrum doesn't really shine until you use Level 1 processing. It's what flattens the phase response. Grant |

flattens phase, amongst other things. I am with Grant on this one. No real point engaging with Dave G's brainchild when you are going to tie one hand behind the back. The processing is the box's magic, and there are plenty of options for level 1 processing. |

Why would there not be "Level 1" settings for the Lake processors db |

I started this response earlier, and it confirms some of what Philip is saying: I just briefly scanned the features on the LM26. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't appear to have FIR filters? Among other basic things required for Level 1 TQ processing is the following: FIR Filter with 384 taps (@ 48khz) asymmetric, with randomly assignable coefficients Minimum of 8 Biquads snip Thanks, Grant |

Finite impulse response (filter) An alternative design of crossover filter realisable in the digital domain, providing linear phase characteristics. FIR filtering is provided in the Lake Processing within the LM 26. |

A quote from the LM26 manual
It most certainly does have FIR filters. In fact it was one of the first units to have these FYI db |

Jeff - give us a call and we'll see if we can't get a level 1 capable processor into your hands for your test. |

I would like some sort of direct comparison to a KF650. These cabs seem to be all in the same market and the KF650 is a cabinet that many of us have direct experience with. It should help to quantify some of your impressions. |

I don't think that that comparison is applicable for these cabinets. The KF650 has a rated max SPL almost twice as loud as what these cabinets are rated for, is tri-ampable, and is significantly heavier than either of the boxes in question here. A much better comparison to the KF650 would be the Danley SH46 or D&B C series. Jeff |

I think you guys are overrating the KF650. It's still a single front-loaded 15, it's not magic or physics-defying. While the MF and HF will far outrun the LF, in a single-to-single comparison the KF650 probably won't beat out the dual-12 Fulcrum box, nor the dual-8 horn-loaded Danley box, or at least by much. Also remember, the KF650 is rated "calculated max SPL" and both the Danley and Fulcrum are rated "this is the real maximum output we measured." Fulcrum is letting me demo the DX boxes this weekend, and I've had a limited demo of the SM60. I've used the KF650s quite a bit. |

Hello Jeff, I was wondering how you would compare SM60's and SH50's? I know you have not had the chance to directly compare them. However, I do know you have had a lot of experience with SH50's. The Calculated output is similar. The weight on the other hand is very different. Would you say that the SM60's still have that clean high output sound like the SH50's? I run SH50's at there peak output levels often. I love how after hours of listening I don't feel much ear fatigue. If the SM60 is capable of similar high output yet easy listening. Then I am very interested in these cabinets.. Danley sound on a regular tripod speaker stand! Nice... |
