Found "neo planar" speakers - NeoVMPS kit design?
« on: 9 Nov 2014, 04:53 pm »
Hi I found a place that is selling "Neo Panels"

[link removed, didn't work]

They list the lower cutoff as 400Hz though. Could we possibly design a kit VMPS clone using these?  Would it need a seperate midbass or could the drivers be used for 200-400Hz as well?

Who could design the crossovers. Who could select tweeter and bass?

Actually those panels are well known to those who build speakers or appreciate planar drivers.

The BG-8 would not allow an actual  VMPS type of speakers since the heart of the VMPS System was the Neopanel running from 220Hz or so, to 5.9Khz.

While I understand the BG-10 can do that, I am not sure of the sound using that wide an FR.

I do know that one of the companies I am working with has been talking to BG regarding some custom built drivers, but I am not at liberty to disclose any information now.

But to answer your question, there will not be a VMPS kit using those drivers, but there may be a VMPS "inspired" model(s) from other companies.

I used to own the VMPS RM40's for quite a long time, even went fully active with them toward the end.  Only speaker I've ever heard that I liked better was the Serenity Acoustics Super 7 at RMAF a couple of years ago.  They used the B&G Neo10 plus the Neo3 in a fully open baffle implementation, along with dual 12 inch servo subwoofers, also open baffle.  Jaw droppingly good.  And I'm pretty damn jaded when it comes to speakers.
