Nice looking speaker, Rick!

What sound characteristics have you achieved with the new Textron midwoofer? Can you tell us how this speaker's overall sound is different with this complement of drivers vs. using Ceramica woofer and midrange drivers (for example)?

Textreme has excellent detail and resolution. This design excels with image width and soundstage depth.

That’s one big honking midrange dome! What is the driver compliment? All passive?

I remember the days of the Dynaudio D 76 AF domes. They were very popular at one time.

Purifi 6.5" woofers, SB Acoustics Satori dome midrange, and Bliesma 1" beryllium tweeter.

I'm glad the bliesma and satori dome mid are good enough to be used in other designs. I really love how they sound in my selah voce d'oro.

Some nice Waterfall Bubinga...

Semi-throwback sealed design with Scan-Speak's classic drivers and a SB Acoustics Satori dome midrange.

Really excellent - SB Acoustics Satori 9.5" woofer, Satori Textreme 5" midbass, and Bliesma 25mm beryllium tweeter.

Rick,

I imagine this combination of drivers <with your XO skills added in> sounds amazing. Are the Futuros a sealed or a ported design? If ported, can the port be placed in the front baffle - or even ported downward?

What are the cabinet dimensions?

Two rear passive radiators which are tuned low so placement near the rear wall isn't a problem. The cabinet is 37" x 11" x 12" (HxWxD) not counting the outriggers (or a plinth / base).

mresseguie · « **Reply #57 on:** 26 Jul 2021, 06:08 pm »

Hmm. I like that there are PRs in back. Are they oval shaped or round?

In this cabinet, how low will the 9.5" woofer play?

Two 8" round radiators. The tuning is the same as the Dettaglio (see attached nearfield graph). It's -3dB @35hz and -10dB @20hz (no room gain included).

Sad news that Rick passed away from heart attack over the weekend. Can anyone else confirm?

I saw him in June at a little audio meet. We had a great time.
You will be missed! RIP
