I am currently using an av123 Ref 100 as a center channel with the Strata Mini and would like a center channel that blends better. How does the Neo 3pdr sound compared to the planar magnetic in the Mini?
The O-3 looks like an interesting option as I can easily use a center tower for my center channel, assuming that Danny would sell me a single.

I am having the enclosures built for the AV-1RS which I will use as surrounds.

Thoughts?

The O-3 is a great option as a center channel if you can use a fllor standing design like that and if you can get it at least three feet out from the wall.

Another good option is a single sealed Neo-2X.

And yes, I will be glad to sell you singles of any of our kits if you like.

I don't think I can get 3' from the wall.

I see you can also build that as a ported tower to increase the frequency response.

Hi Danny.  Not to beat a dead horse, but do you see the A/V-3S redesign with the Neo 3 pdr being available soon?

Yes, very soon. I have a guy building me a set of cabinets for it right now.

Is this still in the works?

Yes.

Hi Danny,

I bought a set of NEO 2X from you, do you have plans for a front ported box for them and if so could you please provide a link to it.

Thanks

Hank drew up some really nice plans for it but it is in a .dwg file. I'll have to figure out how to convert it to a pdf file or something. Maybe Hank can help with this? Hank?

How about a BG8 with an Atohm on either side and the tweet in a little pod on the top ala B&W?

If they offer Atohms in different impedences it might even be possible to use a single Ninja crossover to make it real simple.

Or could one of your woofers like the 130 or 160 be used and the x-over adjusted accordingly?

Of course it would have to be a custom fabricated enclosure but it would maintain the mini's driver lineup.

You could even build a stand that housed another powered 8" if you felt randy.

Danny,

Email the dwg file to me then I'll convert it into pdf or jpg for you.

I sent you an email earlier this morning.

Done with a big thanks to Dave for converting them.

Note that the tweeter cut out was drawn for a different tweeter so you will need to used the driver spacing and drawings from the regular Neo-2X plans.

Now that would be THE plan Bill, but I think Danny is too busy for anything like that and as for me, well, that's why Danny designs the crossovers.

Is the bottom section showing either a slotted port or a circular port? If not what is the bottom cutout for?

I believe that is the terminal cup.

. . . a good question (I think anyway) here is where exactly to get the Atohm drivers from?  All I could find of them on the web (other than reviews of AV123 products) is the company's home page - in French and very poorly translated by google.  Do they have any US distributorship?  I checked partsexpress and madisound with no luck. . .

Danny says it would be a total redesign of the crossover to put it in a MTM configuration and no simple task.

They are available in 4 and 8 off the shelf.

Sourcing should not be an issue but I will check.

Sorry I'm kind of late to the party back at this thread. . .

Sean, if you could source a set of mini drivers (and a stock crossover?) for the top part of the speaker, maybe the dream of a mini center could still be alive!

So, what's the internal volume of the mini top section and atohm driver enclosure anyway?  Could one of the PE cabinets be used for some quick-and-dirty prototyping?

[Danny Richie]

We are working on a new from scratch design.

We are working on a new from scratch design.

The fact that I'm reading "We are working on..." is enough to get me excited.
