    CJD RS 3-way tower, Modula MTM HT up & running

    Greetings to all. Been gone a while. Family illness...
    But Im now running my home theater with 2 completed projects-first were jons amazing Modula MTMs, which became my rears. Unfortunately, they didnt match well with my turbo Dahlquist DQ-10s (dynnaudio, morel and peerless drivers) and were unable to handle my large room. Chris, Brian and I had a running dialogue about a 3-way design, which both Brian and Chris built.
    My parts sat for over a year. Well, I have finally built the 3-ways, and am extremely excited as to the way they sound together. I will be posting pictures of the construction and evolution soon.

      Wow. Sorry to hear about the family stuff, hope it's all worked out.

      I was staring at mine the other day wondering if you'd ever gotten 'round to yours. Glad to hear they sound good.

      You can do the 3-way WTMW center crossover option I did, should match up well voicing-wise. If you want a center. :P

          Yeah, sorry about the family issues. Glad you got the speakers finally built. I know the time I put into mine was well worth it. I've got the cabinet built for the center, all the drivers and crossover parts. I just haven't gotten around to finishing it.

          BTW, Chris, do you remember how much baffle step is built into that design? Mine will be on top of my Pioneer Elite 53" HDTV.

              Center is next...after I rebuild the tv stand with my 2 avalanche 15s. If I could figure out how to post some pics I would...my son will be home in a couple of days who is waaayyy more computer savy than me.He'll help me out. Mabey I should by a Mac.....

              Anyway, I have had them running since yesterday. Ive probably got 8 hours of listening in so far...Chris Isaak is almost spooky with the depth and clarity that Im hearing. I really am blown away at how good these all sound together. Jackson Browne, David Lindley (EL Rayo X), Jack Johnson, Dire Straights (SACD 5 channel).....absolutely the best I have ever heard on any system. I work near Newport Coast (where Kobe and Dean Koontz live) and had a chance to visit the listening room of the local high-end audio store that is installing most of the systems in that neighborhood. The owner was nice enough to play some of the same material for me through their $50,000 front speakers (forgot what brand). I have to tell you, as good as they sounded, I believe that what I have in my A/V room sounds every bit as good.

                  Doesn't really make it any easier.

                  Brian, I don't remember what kind of baffle step those have, but it's probably 3-4dB - that's how I usually run on centers since they're usually less ideally placed.

                      Modula MT or Another Design?
                      by TNRRClassic
                      I'm going to throw together an MT for a medium size room. It will be mostly be for general TV, some HT, and some CD Stereo. I built Modula MT two ways many years ago (with the RS28A), and would do so again, except that the RS tweeters are no longer available. I can do the Seas version, but I'd like...

                      Biamping option on a 3way
                      by augerpro
                      Say I had built those Dayton 3way speakers and used one of those biamping jacks where you can biamp or run normally. Will running biamped screw up the functioning of the crossover? From what little I've learned so far the components in a 3way (particularily) "react" with each other quite a...

                      Hi,

                      For a while ive been gearing myself to building the modula xtreme so's since they fit my requirement perfectly. However maybe they are going to be a bit too extreme for me, if I'm looking at around $1600 at least for two speakers Im not sure i can justify it at the moment.
