Guess How Big My Speakers Are

If you read any of my threads on here or looked at my virtual system you probably already know the answer to this question, but for those who have not, try this as a thought exercise. Given this plot alone how big a speaker do you think this is?

Frequency response plot showint extension to 20 Hz

 

Hints:

  • 2’ from sides, 1.5’ from rear
  • Ported
  • Not horns
  • No EQ applied. This is the natural in room response using short sine sweeps.
  • For a living room this is a well treated room with GIK soffit traps, bass traps and diffusion panels strategically placed.

I’ll reveal my answer if we get 5 guesses or more. :)

Very interesting discussion, Erik thank you for stimulating that.

On the subject of sub woofers, I had my pair turned "off" while the amplifier in one of them was being repaired and I really missed the "visceral" experience they add to the musical experience.  When the repaired amp was reinstalled, I used the DSP engine tuning and REW/miniDSP microphone setup to "tune" the subs to the room and the full-range speakers.  You've peaked my interest in seeing what REW/miniDSP reports with the sub woofers turned "off".
