Dear all,

I have just finished a new open baffle speaker using the wide range Dayton PS220-8 and the Monacor SPA-15PA for bass.
please note there are some differences betweeen the schema and the real thing, as I re-used some older components...

It is now tested for some monthes and I can tell you the sound is really beautifull, with an excellent balance. The Dayton offer excellent imaging as well as a lot of transient and a lot of space...no need of a tweeter with it.

The size of bamboo is 110cm per 40cm and the wings are 60cm per 30cm.

Schema is attached, so if anybody want to make a copy, please feel free.

With all best regards,

Vigoon

Hi,

Nice speakers, also the landscape painting.

Certainly interesting Vigoon.

How did you arrive at the values of your Notch filter for the Dayton ?
You never had A&D R1524 ?

How do they sound?   

[Vigoon]

Well, I have to say they sound wonderfull...However, I prefer the A&D R1524 to the Monacor SPA-15PA, which is excellent, but I think the A&D has richer, deeper bass response...Will switch back to them.
As a friend wanted to try them, I sold them to him.
It is fun to experiment loudspeakers...Next to the Dayton, I would like to try those ones:

The Gradient Axis AX-08 seems to be very interesting (a cheaper alternative to the Dayton SP220-8).

As I have very low knowledges about electricity, a friend helped me for the filter and suggested me this combination...I'm deeply indepted to him...

I wouldn't be very concerned by the woofers, even if I think the RD1524 will be the better in OB configurations.

But regarding the Dayton, even if it sounds good, and I do not doubt that, there is so much intercourse all over the place.
So if you have any means, do measure the response.

Vigoon - following your link led me to an interesting speaker building site with such amazing projects as these:

Great looking speakers.  I am planning on using these drivers as the front stage of my HT as LF-C-RF speakers with a subwoofer.  I was wondering what is the width of the baffle that you are using ? Thanks.

[Vigoon]

Dear Old Audiophile

The baffles are 110cm high x 40cm wide x 30cm deep...

With best regards
