| What is wrong with a sub? My experience is that it is not uncommon that the optimal spot in a room for bass reproduction is different than the optimal spot for mid-range and treble. Inclusion of one or two (depending on the room) subs, integrated properly with optimal pla... | |
| beryllium vs diamond @Audiotroy I have no POV on swapping wires and the impact it can have on sound. My experience is largely with lower end cables in direct swaps with mid-fi systems. The exception is Kimber who I have partnered with. I use their wire inside my s... | |
| beryllium vs diamond This has become a fascinating thread. I keep wanting to unfollow it but something has kept drawing me back and I think that the underlying argument is one of my biggest issues with the current state of audio.We have a speaker (Paradigm) that has ... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @ajnackman Thank you! This is really helpful insight. I am definitely going to produce a competitively priced, higher efficiency, stand-mount. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @keithtexas Was going through the implications and am not expecting you to buy them. More, do you think with significant deviations in terms of price and material these would still be interesting?i think I need to figure out how to make somethi... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @bigkidz I agree. When I set out to start something I wanted it to be differentiated. Why bother putting out another MDF cabinet speaker using the scanspeak, SEAS or SB drivers. Thus, my composite cabinets made from prefabricated sheets- I am ... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks you for your POV. I am leaning toward a higher efficiency stand-mount that would pair with the Art Audio Carissa (18w SET) which I import and have one in inventory to use for shows. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @keithtexas Those Trenner and Friedl ISIS are $40K. Holy crap. The only way a pair of speakers that size could be made by hand for less than $6K would be to make it out of MDF and I am not sure I could ever hit $3k with drivers and crossover p... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @jeffseight I can produce a Pulsar-like speaker using the exact drivers from Seas in a 1” thick Bamboo cabinet that would be stained or cleared for $4000. I could also do them in a veneered or painted MDF but I think bamboo is the better choice.... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @Alexwichai2 12cm is very doable. Shooting for 93dB, also very doable. With compression drivers I could go much higher though I am not sure I can give you a low frequency response of 18dB. With two 10” to 11” woofers I am certain we can get lo... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @alexwichai1 I am not 100% sure I could do a high efficiency speaker with Eton drivers. A “narrow” baffle, high efficiency speaker is a challenge at any price.How narrow of a baffle are you looking for and what kind of bass response are you look... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @gs5556 the single biggest differentiating factor in my current speakers is the cabinets. The Nightshades are made using a fiberglass cabinet over a DuPont Nomex Honeycomb core and the Blackthorns are Carbon Fiber over the same core. The compos... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design My production facility is in PA. I don’t have a showroom but will schedule appointments in my home. Or, I will come to you so you can listen in your home. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design Yes, I am in Greenwich, CT. | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design @mcreyn I am leaning am leaning toward a speaker using compression drivers given that I import and Art Audio and that lineup is largely low power tube amps. I have found a line of compression drivers I like and will do some experimentation. R... |
