The EL70 does not match the width of the A6 in 3-D presentation and overall lushness (so far) but depth and low level detail seems superior.
A6 are the EnABLed ones you got from me, and the EL70 stock?dave
Dave are there any plans with dual EL70s for a monitor-size build aside from the basic front-firing BR on Mark's site?
Yes. needs some work yet (Twin Mar-Kel, i haven't rationaized dimensions for metric or imperial). Plus some in the works (a Classic GR version).dave
I have 2 more EL70s on the way. Trying to decide if I should do dual front-firing or put one on top firing upwards castle-style. These will be ~21L monitors with front baffle 2ft. out from rear wall. My big fear is if i do one set on top that I will lose the imaging that I like so much from the El70s, but at the same time I'm intrigued by the spaciousness they may provide. I guess there's only one way to know...
if you forgo the driver bracing or fancy rebating of drivers, you could probably blast together a quickie prototype pair in particle board in less than an afternoon it's no secret that I'm a fan of this particular design - e.g. it suits my "domestic situation" better than the FH3
- certainly less time that it takes to compile a forum consensus
With 2 EL70 in series a big cap across the one on top will revert the box to a single front facing driver at high frequencies. In my room with vaulted ceiling i could tune the castles by moving it closer or further from the wall (same as closer or further from ceiling)dave
Finally have some sunshine in LA, so here's a pic. The upper driver is about .25in offset. I did this because when testing dimensions using Edge baffle software this consistently gave a slightly smoother response, so I figured why not:
ported...
They look fantastic. Did you do a std flared port or a slot port or ... ?
