You wont be surprised if I tell you...
« on: 7 Nov 2012, 11:54 am »

Hi Danny and all Audio Circle members.

Today I did some clean up and re-arranging in my listening room.

At the same time I did some side by side comparaison between my V1, my V2
and my Audio Nirvana extended range 8'' driver in a open baffle dipole arrangement.

Guest who won ?

Yes, the V1 and by a long margin.

Everything is better with the V1,
since I did not listen to the V1 for more than 6 months
(They were in storage),
I almost forgot how good they are from 20 to 20Khz.

Just wanted to let you know.

I am not sure anymore,
if the sub woofer H frame section need to be seperate
or in another part of the room.

At what frequency are the V1 coax's crossed to the subs?

Actually the way you built your V-1's pushed the acoustics centers farther away than they should be already. For them to really integrate properly the upper drivers needs to be moved down closer to the servo subs.

Hi Danny and all Audio Circle members.

I think your above statement is based on my Audio Circle avatar.

Since that time,
my V1 had been modified
and the dimensions are now the same as yours on your web site.

See below pictures of " before " and " after ".







Now, do you have additional comments to make?

What else wrong did I do ?

Waiting for your constructive criticism.

Ah, good deal.

Well, how did changing the mounting height effect the sound?

Hi Danny and all Audio Circle members.

I only heard a slight change/improvement in the sound,
but, there was an improvement.

I (Now) realize that putting all the drivers closer together
improve the sound, it's like having an extended driver with improve sound.

However, I still must say that the extended driver (Point source)
as something,
that the coax, 2 ways, three ways don't have.

That being said, I prefer my V1 to all the other speakers I have built.
The down side is that the V1 is BIG !

I would like to see a strip down (Simplified) version of the Rythmik A370PEQ,
right now, that amplifier controls look like an airplane cockpit... (LOL)

You are getting your wish. There is a new amp being built for the 8" servo subs that is a little less full of features and only 300 watts. It will also be a little lower cost.

Hi Danny and all Audio Circle members.

That's good news, but when will it be available ? ? ?

I hope it will be before I die, because I am not young anymore. (LOL)

They are past the testing stage and in production stage. It won't be long.
