Hi Wunderlast,
Yes, I will be bringing them to VSAC on Oct 3-5, The people who own Electroprint are showing speakers at CES. I will try to make it to CES this year as well.
Hi JLM,
I haven't figured out the prices yet, but no worries they will be very affordable. At first I will make these one way, but I will include the R compound in them. I still use the Black Hole 5, but in a different location.
They Sound most like a Super 3 as the design is based in it. Each driver has the same internal cabinet volume as the Super 3. About how the speaker looks, Since I build them in house I can configure them in any way. Also read below because Bill at Response Audio gave me a great idea and I have been thinking about it all night.
Your very welcome and it's my pleasure.
Hi Bill,
The cabinet is open with no divider and originally I wanted to divide the cabinet. Because the cabinet is open the drivers have to be in phase.
I made the speakers with 1 set of posts and thought, I would make 2 versions 4 and 16 ohms. When I thought of having the seperate posts to switch between 4 and 16 ohms I thought this idea is great so its very easy to switch from one to the other and add much more versatility. Like having 2 speakers. Now because of the 2 sets of posts and you reminding me about the divider, we can have Bipoles, dipoles and if for any reason someone wants to listen to just the front driver a Super 3. Plus the 4 and 16 ohm. So how many variations do we have.
1: Bipole 4 ohm
2: Bipole 16 ohm
3: Dipole 4 ohm
4: Dipole 16 ohm
5: Super 3/8 ohm
All in one speaker. I will have to make some changes to the cabinet. I need to add some volume for the divider, add another port to the rear and change the size to 2" from the 3", and make a terminal block for the posts. Not hard to do at all and I will get started today.
Hi JLM,
One of the important things about the design is it has to start off with a wide baffle so most cancellations will be avoided.
The bipole is when the front driver is in phase with the rear driver. They have a very wide soundstage and tend do dissapear in the room. In Bipole the sweet spot in front of the speakers is wider.
The Dipole is when the drivers are out of phase. Both versions will give a greater soundstage and much wider and deeper than monopoles. The dipoles will have a bit more focus and clarity due to the side cancellations or nulls, but the sweet spot is a bit narrower than the Bipole.
When they are finished I will give a more detailed report.
Thanks again,
Louis
