OP so we are clear the NX-Oticas are a long ways into Dannys speaker making career. Some of the early OB that GR had dealings with, it took a football field to get them to sound OK. The later stuff and Danny’s personal growth has certainly helped.. He’s not too thick headed, BUT thick headed enough to stick with OB and finally come up with some pretty good speaker kits. His OB servos are the bomb.

I think a little different than most, but GR makes a GREAT product.. and intergrated well with MY type of system..

GR likes OB dipole, I like Dipole speakers, just not OB monitors. I like about 20" between front and back poles... I don’t like to mirror drivers either. Just because there is 5 in the front baffle doesn’t mean there needs to be 5 on the rear baffle pole..

I had 123s mercy... what a nightmare. They set more than they were EVER played.. They were so song specific.. THEN HEAVEN.. Weird..

This is the thing I found out with an OB single baffle dipole, they are HARD to get even close. They sound wonderful, there is an immersion of sound, BUT the pole front to rear on the same baffle? THEN bounce off the front wall and it’s time aligned? HOW? It can’t be.

Dipoles on separate baffles the distance from the front wall to the back of the speaker, that is how deep and how far a speaker would have to be from the front wall. I notched the front pole to match the timing of the rear pole. You can’t do it with a common baffle. How the heck does GR do it? LOL.. You can’t! The best you can hope for it to mechanically slow the front pole and position the rear pole so close to the listening position the rear report won’t sound to far out of kelter.. NO WAY it’s gonna measure right.. BUT it sound DEEP and FULL..I could never get the sound stage right. there would be placement but no depth, then depth and no placement..

I tried until I was almost STUPID trying to figure that out with 123s.. They don’t work right.. LOL plane and simple.. Wound up on prozac because of those things..

Yes I have GRs OB servo system.. 3 doubles... Good stuff, BUT I been tinkering with direct coupling bass drivers, no passive crossover.. It actually works better for me and I'm using parts express drivers and a 300.00 Behringer 2496. I have better cone control and overshoot with class d 12k Behringer amps.. Took me a while to figure that one out... Stupid passive crossover in a bass system.. The dampening cannot work.. Short heavy copper. pretty simple.. direct coupled to heavy 12-15" drivers.. BACK it comes to center.. NOT in a forward position. Centered...
