Hi

We have done all kinds of testing in the anechoic chamber and the factory listening room as well as many tweeks to the electronic crossover (boy DSP allows you a lot of fine tuning) and I should be able to take them home next week for in home assessment.

Looking forward to your update, once you get those babies home. I thought this article on levitating magnetic speakers was interesting - given the focus of this thread:

Hi James, have you had anytime to assess them at home? what are your impressions?

Hi James. I've always wanted to play with active speakers, so I've been following this thread with interest.

I may have missed it, but what crossover are you planning on using? The best info I saw was your quote that it was an "external balanced DSP electronic crossover".

(I assume this is more likely to be impedance balanced via transformers on the outputs, rather than fully differential?)

Thanks!

Looks good

What's the target retail price?

Hi

Still looking at the crossover design but it will be XLR balanced. DSP vs Analog as well need testing.

Do not know yet as a lot will depend on crossover design choosen.

Hi James,

Since they are active, will my 28's and 10b sub still be of any use? Hope I don't have to find them another place...

The way it is now any Bryston amp can be used but the crossover has to be dedicated to the speaker - so many parameters are needed in the crossover besides slope and frequency cut-off.

Looks great James.

From green leds in the 2d picture I think you got a pair 7B and 2x4Bs.Please, Let us know about the differences between DSP and 10B.That is what I would love to know.

James Tanner · « **Reply #211 on:** 18 Oct 2011, 10:12 pm »

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes using 7B on the 2 woofers and a 4B on the mids and tweeter

Looks good James!

Very nice James. When are you visiting us in Vancouver and bringing a pair to sample (at the new "Commercial" location) ?

Hey James - I get the 7Bs on the woofers - with the 4Bs - is one 4B driving the mids running in stereo and then the other 4B driving the tweeters alone? Just curious as to the hookup. This would make it a tri-amplified setup, right?

Correct - it is a tri-amp set up but you could use any combination of Bryston amps.

Sharp looking speakers James

From the looks of them can I conclude that they are to be used with magnetic grills or is this truly a grilless design. If with magnetic grills, I assume the preferred method to listen to them is with grills off?

Correct - magnetic grills - looking at styling now.
