Okay James - so you now have a working model you're testing with the lighter cones (modified sub-woofer drivers)?  Do you think you've got what you were looking for or are there still some further tweaks you're planning next?  How close are you to your vision for this speaker?

The big question is - what is it going to take to put something like this in production? 

Are the pics on this thread and at the recent Son&Image show the latest version - with the 1/2 mass drivers?

Still some tweaks on the new woofers and should have them in my room in another week or so - if all is OK I guess I will have to decide if I offer them for sale :scratch: :scratch:.

"Offer them for sale"...

initiating a production run or selling the current "one of" pair?

Ron D - James had said the one model is for himself, for reference purposes in testing Bryston products but it's the production for consumers that still remains the question.  No decision on the latter has been made but the former is a definite.

Hi Ron,

Offering them for sale with some limited production might be something to consider - not sure I want to get into the speaker business :duh:

I'm sensing that the value was in the learning experience not in it being a profitable venture - a labour of love, as well?

Yes good point and knowing I have a speaker that does not lie given current technologies.  Also there may be a more universal Bryston DSP based - electronic crossover that could evolve out of this.

Hi James,

You are in better position to decide then any of us here!  :D

Whatever it is PLEASE do not rush...since its Bryston's first attempt I would rather wait for years on a well built, designed, crafted, and reference speaker...and even if its for a short run it will be one that would wow the world.  :thumb:

Would love to hear your speakers with just one EP800v3 sub.

Hey James, with the Model T (revised) now in the house - are the Maggies on the truck home?  Was your experimentation with the tri-centre successful and something that you will be working with Magnepan on adapting for the SP2's that came in on trade in?  By the way, how many SP2's do you have on the refurbished line?

Hi

I prefer 2 subs each with a 12 inch woofer vs 1 sub with two 12 inch woofers as it loads the room better.

James, It would be nice if you could compare them with LFR1100 to see which one would give you the best response in the room.I think the model T would be a better choice.
Are you using the 10B crossover for the subs?
