What other speakers that you have had or do have are similar sounding to these ?
I had '89 LaScalas, but these sound a bit different than similar.
I have '82 Cornwalls, and while the Cornwall bass does extend a little lower, these have a horn like bass. It's kinda like both...Unique?
I favored the Cornwall, over the LaScala, and I like two-way over the Cornwall three-way to my ears. The cut-off is 500Hz.
Some slight boom, but no worse than Cornwall. I still need to experiment with padding the sides of the doghouse, to kept the back wave from reflecting through the cone.
These DIY Jensen speakers cabinets were made in the days of Jazz and Big Band prior to Jazz, so of course they can do that rather well.
Classical seemed fine, I didn't listen to much however. Jazz is real nice.
They play hip hop and pop rock with plenty of presence and strong bass.
Pine Top Perkins Ladies Man sounds really good. They passed the Die Antwood test.
Pop and Classic rock seems fine, dunno about heavy metal.
