What does Danny have to say about the material ? Is it a good replacement for aluminum?

I wouldn't have gone with it without having him check it out. Sent him a sample baffle ages ago.

I think the composite material is going to work out really well. It appears to be very strong and it is much less expensive than sheets of Aluminum.

Do you anticipate any issues with shape retention considering how tall they are ? Do you recommend any type of external bracing!!

Will the material take a finish or is it more along the line of a corian type material?

Best,
Ed

No problem anticipated with shape/stability etc. When this stuff is bonded, it becomes one solid piece and the seam will never show once it's been sanded smooth.
Yes, it can be primed/painted etc.
You can even throw it in the tub and give it a bath if you like, it won't change shape

That's good to know. I can't tell you the times I've wished for such. Will it be dishwasher safe?

Kidding aside, this is really looking to be something special!

LOL, you bet Peter, just need a big dishwasher !!

They will be cool

Man if I had the space (and funds lol) for a pair of these and a pair of H-Frame towers. Alas, I'll just slum it with a pair of Super 7s.

Glad to see these coming back!

Here are a couple updated pics.

A few drivers in a small MDF test baffle we cut. Full baffles and wings to be cut next week.

Finished base

The 5 bolt holes in each base are counter bored from underside so bolts will be out of sight

Should be the only speaker around that convincingly outclasses the Super 7s. Me jealous!

Don't listen to a pair!!! I was perfectly happy with my LS9s until I heard those prototypes. And the LS9's, when installed well, are comparable to the Super7s (different, some ways better, some worse). But those Super LS speakers... I never heard anything at a RMAF that were close. High end Wilson or TADs? Not comparable.

To late for me!!!

Suppose I should start saving now. After I heard the Epiphany 20/21 in my room, I knew line source was in a different league than point source. Couldn’t balance the big LS 9’s in there though. Just too much bass for my room.

These should really be stunning. Time to sell the BG FS420’s.

Hi Captainhemo,

Those Line Force speakers look very interesting indeed! Could you please say a bit more about these?
* How far down in frequency are they working?
* Sensitivity?

Thanks! Best regards
Peter

Just letting people know that these are still in the works. been poking away at a contoured base and discussing composites.

These cross to the servo subs at 180Hz. And sensitivity is 98db.
