DIY LS3/5A's
I cannot afford to buy a pair of real, or even "knockoff" LS3/5A's, so I've
decided to utilize the vast amounts of information and documentation on the internet regarding how to build your own pair (mainly from www.ls35a.com). I am an amateur guitarbuilder so construction should be no problem. My question, I have a pair of 8 ohm KEF B110's (sp1003) and a matching pair of KEF 8 ohm T27's (sp1032) pulled from a pair of 80's Fried Model B monitors. I cannot find any useful info about this specific model and I need to decide on what type of crossover to use. As I understand there was a different crossover used after 1987 when manufacturing switched to KEF. Should I use one of the newer crossovers, or the older pre-87 crossovers for these speakers or does it even matter? btw, I cannot afford the cicable external crossover (at £600)....all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thankyou! -- Jonny Durango http://www.soundclick.com/ratcitymusic.htm "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering, Hitler's Reich-Marshall, at the Nuremberg trials after WWII. |

DIY LS3/5A's
My question, I have a pair of 8 ohm KEF B110's (sp1003) and a matching
pair of KEF 8 ohm T27's (sp1032) pulled from a pair of 80's Fried Model B monitors. If I remember correctly, the Fried Model B used a B110 SP1057 and a Dynaudio D21. actually I think you're right....the seller said they were removed from a pair of 1980's Fried monitors but it couldn't be the model B's I cannot find any useful info about this specific model and I need to decide on what type of crossover to use. Contact Falcon in the UK, they used to build xovers for various BBC licensees, still have all circuit boards, components and schematics. Here's their current price list for relevant xovers: "100.

As I understand there was a different crossover used after 1987 when manufacturing switched to KEF. Manufacturing didn't switch to Kef. The Beeb redeigned the LS3/5A using update components and simplifying the xover. Should I use one of the newer crossovers, or the older pre-87 crossovers for these speakers or does it even matter? It does matter... Just check the exact drivers you've got and get the right xover for them. I did some more research and it appears they are from the KEF Constructor series (CS1)...I don't know why the seller said they were from a pair of Fried's....mybe they were modified Frieds? (modiFrieds, hehe)....they came with templates and brochures and manuals and different crossover reccomendations for different speakers. They recommend an sp1017 type crossover for a b110/t27 combo, so I can only assume that if these papers originally came with these speakers, then I should use a 1017 crossover.

DIY LS3/5A's

DIY LS3/5A's
They recommend an sp1017 type
crossover for a b110/t27 combo Nope, only if you've got a CS1A. The SP1017, originally used in the Kef Cresta, is designed for the B110A SP1003. First of all I'd like to say THANKYOU very much for all the help you've offered. I'm amazed at how much you know about these speakers and very frateful for the advice! Anyway, I've definately got a pair of B110A (sp1003) and T27 (sp1032)....here's the crossovers that falcon acoustics lists for this combo: 3. B110A/T27A (equiv.to DN13 SP1017 used in KEF Cresta II) (PCB2) £13.50 23. LS3/5A type crossover.

See also No.102 B110A/T27A Complete network, similar in all essential details to the LS3/5A but with ferrite inductors and tapped HF ferrite inductor and matching set of HF capacitors. Complete with recommended cabinet drawings. (PCB7) £29.50 I have no idea what an "aB tweeter section" is, but someone else mentioned I'd need a multitap inductor (also have no idea what that is), which seems to be included in the last one listed (23T). Well, obviously you know a million times more about this stuff that I do, so what do you reccomend? More info : http://www.allansonline.com/Anatomy/...rossovers.html Thanks a million man! I really do appreciate the help here. As you can see I'm pretty clueless about speakers so this really helps me a lot!

They recommend an sp1017 type
crossover for a b110/t27 combo Nope, only if you've got a CS1A. The SP1017, originally used in the Kef Cresta, is designed for the B110A SP1003. First of all I'd like to say THANKYOU very much for all the help you've offered. I'm amazed at how much you know about these speakers and very frateful for the advice! Anyway, I've definately got a pair of B110A (sp1003) and T27 (sp1032)....here's the crossovers that falcon acoustics lists for this combo: 3. B110A/T27A (equiv.to DN13 SP1017 used in KEF Cresta II) (PCB2) £13.50 23. LS3/5A type crossover. B110A/T27A Complete network, similar in all essential details to the LS3/5A but with ferrite inductors and resistive HF attenuation. Complete with recommended cabinet drawings. (PCB7) £26.00 23aB. LS3/5A type crossover. Speaker Builder 4/81. As 23 but with KEF aB tweeter section. (PCB7) £29.00 23T. LS3/5A type crossover. See also No.102 B110A/T27A Complete network, similar in all essential details to the LS3/5A but with ferrite inductors and tapped HF ferrite inductor and matching set of HF capacitors. Complete with recommended cabinet drawings. (PCB7) £29.50 I have no idea what an "aB tweeter section" is, but someone else mentioned I'd need a multitap inductor (also have no idea what that is), which seems to be included in the last one listed (23T). Well, obviously you know a million times more about this stuff that I do, so what do you reccomend? More info : http://www.allansonline.com/Anatomy/...rossovers.html Thanks a million man! I really do appreciate the help here. As you can see I'm pretty clueless about speakers so this really helps me a lot! Cheers! -- Jonny Durango http://www.soundclick.com/ratcitymusic.htm "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

(modiFrieds, hehe)....they came with templates and brochures and manuals and different crossover reccomendations for different speakers. They recommend an sp1017 type crossover for a b110/t27 combo, so I can only assume that if these papers originally came with these speakers, then I should use a 1017 crossover. This may have solved the problem, although if you have any more suggestions I'm all ears! Thanks!! I can't help but wonder how you came by a CS1 set without the crossovers. I would see if you can get the original crossovers from where you got the drivers, before spending large amounts on new crossovers for old drivers. TonyP. |

LS3/5A type crossover. See also No.102 B110A/T27A Complete network, similar in all essential details to the LS3/5A but with ferrite inductors and tapped HF ferrite inductor and matching set of HF capacitors. Complete with recommended cabinet drawings. (PCB7) £29.50 The real McCoy, Falcon style. The only option if you want to build a clone as close as possible to the real thing - you will also have to use the right cabinet materials, damping elements and so on. Awesome, this is the one I'll use then. Building the cabinet and damping materials should be no problem. I'm an amateur guitar builder, so this should be a very simple project relatively. Also, ls35a.com provides tons of DIY drawings, datasheets, pictures and discussions about how to build LS3/5A's specifically. One more question, this is the last one, I promise! =) The description says "tapped HF ferrite inductor and matching set of HF capacitors."

As 23 but with KEF aB tweeter section. (PCB7) £29.00 The HF section uses a derivative of the high pass filter designed by Kef for their 104AB (AB stands for Acoustic Butterworth). Quite good, with very smooth highs and mids, but getting further away from the original design. 23T. LS3/5A type crossover. See also No.102 B110A/T27A Complete network, similar in all essential details to the LS3/5A but with ferrite inductors and tapped HF ferrite inductor and matching set of HF capacitors. Complete with recommended cabinet drawings. (PCB7) £29.50 The real McCoy, Falcon style. The only option if you want to build a clone as close as possible to the real thing - you will also have to use the right cabinet materials, damping elements and so on. |

You'll need to pick the right tap for your drivers combination.
Thanks a billion for all your help! It's greatly appreciated!! -- Jonny Durango http://www.soundclick.com/ratcitymusic.htm "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering, Hitler's Reich-Marshall, at the Nuremberg trials after WWII.

Does this mean the inductor is already tuned to the HF capacitors, or do I need to tune it to the drivers themselves somehow? You'll need to pick the right tap for your drivers combination. |

I thught maybe the original Fried monitors they were pulled from were, well, fried (ie. blown crossover). I really don't know. I thought we established the Fried Monitor connection was incorrect? Regardless it's pretty unlikely that anyone could blow up two cross overs without damage to the drivers. And I can't imagine they would be of use for anything else. TonyP. |

Are the drivers still available for these? I tried poking around
the WWW and it didn't seem too promising. |
