Hi

A lot would depend on the amps chosen - you need 10 channels.

Thanx JT.
That makes things a lot easier!

Quickly read through the thread , very interesting concept James.

Regarding the name for the new speakers, if I recall the original Model T name came from a combination of "T" for Tanner and the Henry Ford Auto reference that they come in any color as long as it is black (originally anyways)? Well, if these speakers can bring you to the next level in sound reproduction, why not name them after a state of the art vehicle ? I will throw a couple names out there ..."Mclaren" (back to the future reference?) Or with 10 channels of juice required, perhaps "Tesla" is more appropriate, as in the future in sound/automobiles is here. Should not be a copyright issue as they are to unique product groups.

Have fun with the project and choosing a name.

Scott

Hi Scott

Yes it will be a very unique product so I am trying to come up with a neat name - thanks for the suggestions.

PS - notice anything about the feet on the speaker?

Those are definitely T-Rex feet.

Bird feet! An ornithophile.
Never would have guessed it, JT.

They are about 6 feet tall.

We would probably have 2 different BAX1's - a single unit with 10 channels and the current unit.

Hi James

Thank you for the update. Not sure how I missed this thread.

Two things I have learned about the TREX setup having had both Model T and Middle T setups. The Middle TREX is better for a sitting position as apposed to the Model TREX where the tweeters are above your ears. Also most people that have visited think the Model TREX is just too darn big.

So your proposal of 6 foot tall sounds right on the money, or perhaps 6'-6" which is the Middle TREX height which I happen to like very much.

Are you taking pre orders? LOL

Possible for a external passive crossover for the TRex?

...the new 9B Cubed in 5 channel configuration is 15.677€ here in Europe. you would need two of them.
more than 31.000€ just for amplification in this case . prices went through the ceiling.

I would be interested in hearing a comparison between these and the HEDD Electrodynamics Extended Tower Mains with their -3 dB point of 20 Hz, 3100 watts per side and $28,000 USD per pair price tag, including amps.

Hi Russell,

It looks like the HEDD is a totally different concept from what I am trying.

They are Class D amplifiers with switching power supplies and not an OMNI design (bass drivers on rear only) unless I am reading the info on their website incorrectly?
