Johnny,
This may get me banned since you are supreme ruler and overloard, but I would recommend you read some real loudspeaker engineering work, there are several books and all go into cabinet design.
You say you will not rely on magic, yet you …
P.S. A friend of mine went through the painstaking hours and expense of building Troles 'Elam'. They are 200lb paperweights as it is NOT the speaker his uses to listen... So there's that.

After reading some of the posts here, I think I look somewhat skeptically upon "new" (CNC, 3DP) technology.
When we build, hell when a company that actually cares about sound builds a loudspeaker cabinet for that matter, what i…
Position counts.
In a desktop/console really messes with the response.
One of the things that make Yahama (forgot the model) moitors so respected is the way they have amazing reaponse once on a console, but measure wonky free-space.
The hit-ma…

Oh yeah... Weight.... I threw the Fists on my bathroom scale when complete and they tip the scales at 162lbs. I can manage them myself with a great deal of effort. I can dead-lift the Diomede off the ground about an inch myself...Em…
Looks like a fun listen Johnny!
Yes, P-cores saturate earlier, but softer than a laminate or somid core, just like air cores of large values can pose problems due to excessive widing length. If harmonic distortion vs. Drive level is measured with a…

Hey Channing,
Its a mix of both. Roman is average height, I am 6'3", and John nailed it, he is a couple of feet back. It is a cool illusion.

They know how to make a woofer. Stamped steel or not! Even then, treat the frame and they are great for the money.
There is a distinct audible effect, related to not just the decrease in output, but the shift in tuning caused by t…

I am going to try and make it out to an event next spring/summer! It will be nce to meet everyone face to face after yeas of getti g to know......y'all

Sounds like a great Project. I do wish they made more woofers specifically for sealed enclosures. More so Acoustic Suspension. Looking forward to see how this one plays out!

Hey Craig,
Step response is one of those things in woofers written off as non-audible, yet many agree sealed sounds better than reflex.
The improved step reaponse is in relationship to the better group delay. Since you are tar…

Its the design that has been over 20 years in the making for me. Dual 10" 4-way.
Ill share measurements and info around the 1308 as it devlopes.
They are ultimately as much Roman's as mine. His CnC/hand made hybrid work on…

Thaks Craig,
It is possible to discuss the qualitative for the sake of observation and perception WITHOUT the audiophool crap.
That input is very meaningful. I have found a similar liking in the Vegateons. The U-baffle made …

I have not. I want to play with it sunce I love small dones, but have a ton on my plate. I am guessing it is, at worst, good. Peerless/tymphant/vifa/speak or whatever they are called today produced better more consistant products th…
Its ok to use somthing you want to use. The ND20 is the weak link, you have been around long enough to know this. However if it is something you want ro use to balance look with performance, I see nothing "wrong" with it. There are always …
What's the design goal?
Those are all great drivers. You could go U-bffle mind if you have never tried it and keep the form factor.
Just spit-balling thoughts. Even a sealed straight-up 3-way would be great

I have has very hit-or-miss luck with visaton. The little 2" full range measures better than the peerless/Tymphany 2" mid, but some other drivers have been WAY off spec, though FR is always very good.
They are built well…

Hey Kenny,
It is a forum. Not a class room. It is also limited to the type of technical.information that suits the box of what everyone there levys their technical for to fit, what has become the "definition" of a good…
Thanks guys! Very good thread.
I make all mg own rubs and marinades, and can grill very well.... but suck at searing or cooking a steak inside. Its more of a smoke show than anything for me :(
