Hi Mr Troels,

I finally finished my TL1. They came with the old version of level 2 semi active xover. It now correspond to the level one.
As you Can see on pictures i have made 3 events but one IS closed. I found it better look. I also ad a screen to control the FA501 modules. I can change bass level and present from my sitting point.
I also go for Lpad for thé horn.

I tried it for few hours. Even if speakers are not burn in i am pleased with the level of thé bass. I allready new the compression because i leave with it for my HC system for few month and I like it a lot.

For now i just got a critical issue i need to solve. The super tweeter i use (Visaton) give me headaches and stress the listening sessions. I see that few people don't hear them m. I can't Say it unfortunately. When i switch off them the listening IS less airy and detailed but more sweet and involving.
 
I order Beyma one today to try them. If it is not better maybe I'll ask for your help to see how to reduce the level of it or maybe simple take of super tweeters.
 
But if i only use the compression should i modify the xover to take off the low pass parts?
 
I'll take time when all will be stabilised to make a feedback one them and also on SBA-MTM i have just sold to my neighbor.
I will also need advices for my next project for my second listening room. I got 4 ScanSpeak 32w, two 15pr400 and 18" VOLT i could use and i am hesitating of what to do.
 
Lets keep in touch and thanks for everything.
Bye.

Hi Mr troels,
I write to you to give you knees an make an edit of my first feelings about the TL1. 
After 4 years of waiting this project i was full of hope and be disappointed by the first listening sessions wich gave me headaches.
After a little burn in of all drivers and lot of try of positioning  the speakers i MUST update my first feelings.
Firstly the super tweeter doesn't trouble me anymore. It is now totally integrated with de horn. great detail and openness.
Secondly i felt the horn was a bit harsh especially around 1kz but more and more the Bass and the med get burn in more all get equilibrate and are now almost perfect.
I can feel the bass can goes a bit more lower but for now they never disappoint.

So to summarize my update feeling :
 
As others builders said a great felling of dynamics and details at low or at very high volume. One can feel they doesn't have limits. Big and real image.
 
Their are really great speakers!!! For first time since a long long  time i really rediscover some of my preferred album.
 
Sorry for my first return and thanks for all your help. They will stay a long time in my leaving room for sure!
 
My system is Bricasti M5/M12/M25 and Hypex FA501 for the bass.
 
For my next project I let you know. I yould like something different than an usual 3way system for my second listening room.
 
Cheers,
