Something new that sounds incredible

With over 20k views (no more than 19K are mine

), there is apparently a lot of interest in this speaker.

How about an update?

Thanks,
Ed

No worries. Things can wait, people in need can't.

Hope things get better for both you and Gary

I got the prototype cabinet together and finished measuring and testing this thing today.

Totally awesome!

Pics and measurements coming....

Oh, and I need to come up with name for this thing.

How would you describe the sound, both with and without a bass section? That might help stir the imagination for a name.

A couple of quick shots of the assembled speaker right after measuring and testing.

The baffle design worked perfectly and is very critical to the accuracy of the response. So this kit is going to have to come with the flat pack (pre-cut just as you see it).

You guys can set these on just about anything that gets them up to ear level.

The "Genie" with a paraphrase of the Robin Williams line "Phenomenal Cosmic Power, Ity Bity Living Space"

maybe something like "Phenomenal Cosmic Sound, Ity Bity Space" or "Awe-Inspiring Sound, Ity Bity Footprint"

Like the idea, just a bit of a mouthful... (IMHO of course

).
Maybe something simple and to the point.... LGK Magic,LGK Cosmic, LGK Phenom ....

Prototypes look great BTW. Can you give us a reminder of dimensions ?

How far from the rear and side walls would these need to placed?

I'd imagine the typical 3' for OB would be a good starting point. Normally with OB, more is even better

How about Soba - Small Open Baffle Array?

mlundy57 · « **Reply #292 on:** 2 Sep 2014, 01:44 am »

Since there is already an LGK 1.0 these could be LGK 2.0 or 4.0 since there are 4 LGK drivers. Although this one has a tweeter so maybe LGK 4.1; but then .1 usually refers to a subwoofer not a tweeter so LGK-41 ...

My thought was the name would just be "Genie" The rest would be part of the product description, provided of course that it didn't violate and copyrights or trademarks.

The idea I was trying to get at would be a name that either meant or suggested something large and majestic in a small package.

Gotcha, I missed that.

I like the idea of keeping the LGK in there somewhere too.
Pretty much the rest of Danny's curent series are like that (AV, N, X), kind of makes sense to have the LGK line named similarily. Nothing wrong with adding a little catchy "nickname" to each model

For a series of models: OB Wan, Two, Three.

Let's call them....my next speaker!

Do we have price and availability?

Oh boy.... I think this might be my next project for speakers in a few months. How low is it playing? Room size medium capable?
