Imo if comparing speakers, you should set them up in AB-AB position. With AB-BA , the wider speakers A will usually sound better. Or at least "bigger sound stage".

Larger woofers will generally give more bass and better bass coupling to the air. Are your 6inch speakers and soundbar on a desk? Perhaps try to elevate the speakers off the desk a little if not done already. You may also be used to speakers with extra treble or bass boost, or perhaps...

Sticky coating on drivers; dust tends to be something you have to live with afaik. It's better to have the coating than to remove it trying to rid dust. But if anyone has suggestions that would be interesting

There's room modes and then there's +30dB at 40Hz - it can't be that bad surely!

And quick decay/low overhang

I didn't say they were in common with one another though. It's still sandwich construction Anyhow, sometimes I find it's fun to do things out of interest than to do nothing because everything's already been solved and the perfect item has already been made :)

Internally they probably use 5W or 10W resistors. Yes, you can heat up the resistors a lot if you thrash the speakers, but by then you're also most likely blowing up the woofers or tweeters . This outboard resistor would be much better cooled too

Already been reviewed, we just need to wait for it to be off patreon early access :) Or you can view it now if you have that patreon sub If it measures well, could be tempted to buy a pair then get a nice wood cabinet made seeing as you can transpose or buy the extra parts and sell off the...

A look inside if you are interested, with impedance measurements. Unfortunately no frequency response measurements

Sounds interesting. I used to do similar things, modding cheap speakers. I wouldn't do it with more expensive stuff or if it sounded good already. My favourite was scanspeak revelator cone mods. Will be interesting to see how these new Leak speakers measure . Sandwich cones are relatively...

We could make a list of wood finish vs weight lol Density was something I was considering as well as appearance with these speakers

I like to weigh myself, then myself+object. It means you get results on the region of where the scales "should" be more accurate; the weight of humans.

Minx 22 is likely good either vertical or horizontal. I assume they roll off that midbass BMR to compensate more for baffle step. If they are anything like the Mission cubes of old, they will have a shaping filter network potentially as well. Dispersion will be "180⁰" in either orientation...

I thought 6.6kg seemed on the lighter side

Sometimes the carrier oil soaks into felt damping material or even the tweeter diaphragm, or gaskets

It probably varies based on cabinet material

So far we haven't seen anything except marketing :)

Water isn't a good test for air leak holes. Maybe a sealed box with smoke? Dyed alcohol? Light isn't a confirmation test. I've had carbon fibre cone drivers in the past with similar light holes

Hopefully they reply this week; at least to reassure people. Alan did recently attend a hifi show (with new pre/amp) so that would be a little bit of time. Though the cabinet builders wouldn't be held up by that
