RMAF Speakers

Rick Craig · « **on:** 22 Aug 2007, 05:13 pm »

What would you like to hear in Denver?

Something with Accuton drivers and not too much bass that it will overwhelm the room.

I thought the speakers you brought last year were excellent.

I loved the 3D's I heard at last years RMAF. Hopefully you will have them again

I'm kind of liking that new speaker you posted the other day.

Open baffle and a line array

RMAF was my first time to hear a good line array (one of yours, several years back) and it "stuck in my mind" until I ended up purchasing a set from you. You've got quite a few attendees that haven't experienced the line arrays you're so good at, so it's a good venue for that.

While the bass in the rooms is problematic, that could be tamed with a DEQX or Parc.

Maybe RC5 (or 4) too.

Line arrays would be nice, but they're expensive to ship and too tall to carry in the back of an SUV. So instead I suggest a pair of RC4s, because they're comparable to some mainstream speakers that will be there in the $12K to $20K price range. Additionally, the integral powered sub will make it easier to adjust the speakers to the hotel room acoustics. Just my two cents.

My choice would be your newest floorstander model, the Galena.

I agree with Bryan.

That would be my first choice AND Brian's suggestion too.

Galena gets my vote too!

I'd like to hear the new dipole and, as impractical as it may be to get it there, a line array too. It'll be my first trip to RMAF so it would also be my first opportunity to hear your speakers. Still, I'd go with what you think will work best in the room environment there.

Sorry - not this year. I like to bring something new each time and it's not practical to have several speakers on hand. Thanks for your kind comments on the 3D.

That was a custom design but the Galena is very similar except for the dipole operation of the Revelator.

Anything in particular? Size / driver format?

bpape · « **Reply #14 on:** 23 Aug 2007, 05:28 pm »

I've kind of been getting more into the OB thing lately. If you're not going to make that one of your standard designs, then I guess the Galena is the next closest thing.

Well, it would probably overwhelm the room, but the design you and I talked about would be sweet!!

Have you done anything else with the AirCirc tweeter?

Absolutely! I just finished a custom 3-way design for a Canadian customer. All Scan-Speak drivers - 10" aluminum cone woofer, 5" Revelator midbass, and the AirCirc. Really,really nice - neutral, detailed, good bass extension, dynamic...

I won't have time to build an array

but I do have a few array customers in the Denver area.

My vote is for a 35F and a 35CC. Not nearly as exciting as the other suggestions but something I would like to hear.
