I'm happy to announce that Joe D'Appolito (Usher,Snell) and Roy Allison (AR,Allison Acoustics) were among judges that recently awarded first place to a speaker that I did the crossover design for. I'm honored to be recognized by such industry giants for whom I have the greatest respect. Thanks to Parts Express for hosting the event and Paul Kittinger for inviting me to assist with his speaker, the CanTiLena.Paul and I have collaborated on some previous designs and he approached me about doing a new project. He was already familiar with the Morel dome midrange and asked for my input about the other drivers for a 3-way. I suggested the Fountek ribbon tweeter and Scan-Speak woofer. The result was a 1st place award in Iowa and now Ohio. __________________
Search for "cantilena" on www.htguide.com/forum, there are a couple of pics there.Paul,Are the plans available free anywhere or does one have to buy it from Rick or you?
There's pic on www.quarter-wave.com including *ahem* the crossover.
Rick, Could you provide a price for the kit on the canTiLenas? Are they sensitve to placement? How far should they be from the wall? Thanks.
Congratulations Rick and Paul K!Their endorsement just confirms that the CanTiLenas were a well executed design. IMO, I thought that they sounded the best overall at last year's IowaDIY2007 meet. I just loved them. Paul K,I hope to see you at this years' event if you can make it.
Thanks, Rob, I really appreciate your positive comments. Yes, I plan on attending the next Iowa event; I just recently completed a pair of speakers expressly for Iowa's Budget class, the cenTiLanas. They're a lower cost and smaller version of the canTiLenas and they placed 3rd in the Dayton-driver category at PE's event on the 12th. I plan on making some minor tweaks to the crossovers before Iowa.PaulQuote from: RobC on 22 Jul 2008, 01:36 amCongratulations Rick and Paul K!Their endorsement just confirms that the CanTiLenas were a well executed design.
