any thought of dsp room correction

there is no such thing as "dsp room correction" (perhaps only very slightly) a room is a physical thing you must change the physical environment in order to change the characteristics of the room.

Now this is interesting.

I didn't know this concept was already done and using a Bryston crossover no less.

indeed very nice speakers

[audioligist]

i think that if james were to utilize dsp it would be in the new form of "bdsp", the "b" standing for bryston.

james, you working on such a thing?

Hi James,

A new challenger to the JT1 maybe 

[James Tanner]

Yes I know a fellow in Toronto that just got a pair of these.

They look pretty cool. But they're probably an arm and a leg here in the US.

then they would be 2 arms and three legs in Canada eh!    What's that aboot?

[vegasdave]

Haha.

Not a Class D fan 

I think Bryston Class AB would be far superior in implementation...perhaps pure class A only on tweeter??

Already done, indeed, and done well. Now they are being re-introduced as though a new idea by one of the larger players in pro audio:

Not sure that is fair Some credit should go to John Otvos.

I'm still p*ssed at John Otvos.  After doing research for >6 month, I was ready to order Mach 17s and John suddenly stopped production.  Not all was lost; researching the 17s led me to a new to me electronics brand, Bryston.

Hi Steve

I know John did not quit because he wanted too. It just proves that building a better mouse trap does not always work out as you think it will. A great speaker and a great guy

I assumed that was the situation.  He had just purchased an expensive CNC machine to decrease the build time of enclosures and then shortly there after, closed up shop.  Glad to see his "egg design" re-validated in 2011.

well said.

Absolutely; that was my point. A search on John Otvos brings up some very interesting reading.

He is still very active in green housebuilding and cabinet work, no doubt.

James, have you made any further progress on your speaker project? 
 
Where are you along the path?  I'm sure there is a development plan.  I've heard that where technology and computer modeling currently sits today - it's possible to get a speaker design substantially finalized before even building a physical prototype (to paraphrase Paul Barton). 
 
I'm assuming then if you are in the physical prototype stages, you may be just a few months away from a finalized product - if all things are lining up.  What is left to do?

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 foward to hearing your impressions of them against some of your reference speakers....exciting times!

I was thinking the same thing about the cute twins just up the street.
