AsciLab speakers are about to launch

@AsciLab , i guess thats the Data from the MTM + Bass Module, right?
Awesome Cardioid System! Little bit narrow vertical beamwith but still great, just nitpicking.
And thats the best EIR (Estimated inroom Response) of all your speakers i think, nice Job!
Still in time as planned to sell in Europe? :D
Narrow vertical beamwidth is the goal of D'Appolito/MTM to reduce reflections from bottom and top.

Narrow is fine, just a matter of taste. Inconsistency is what's usually the issue.

Match the tweeter radiation to the usual combined woofer radiation at xover and you'll have a ~±15° sweet spot.

That can be useful, but is pretty limiting for sure.

Don't match the tweeter radiation and you'll get colored reflections contributing to poor total sound (direct+indirect).

I'm looking forward to seeing Asci's solution!

But if the tweeter is matched to the narrow vertical dispersion of spaced bass drivers it won’t match their horizontal dispersion? Unless the tweeter waveguide is asymmetrical? Which is doesn’t appear to be in the prototype. I need the experts at Asclilab to explain.
 
@AsciLab have you measured the A6B with bass modules?

The MTM/Bass module measurements are amazing!
Will need to have ears close to tweeter height, what is the current height with bass modules?

As StaticV3 mentioned, a narrow beamwith is only the Goal when the Designer want it to be the Goal here. Maybe it was the Goal from Mr. D'appolito Back in time, i dont know. An even Dispersion/beamwith is more often the goal and this ends often in narrow vertical beamwith. A narrow vertical is also found in many two way designs, so no MTM needed. Many companys have a coaxial behavior as goal from a mtm.
Anyway in this Case its a nearly Perfect design, and the vertical is not that much narrow, just little on the narrow Side but should have still enough room to stand up or ist down at 3m listenig distance with +-20 to almost 30°.

So many great designed speaker Here already, will Just buy one of them and already jet i cant decide which one :D

C6C with BX8C design is refined.

Unlike the prototype, the base dimensions have been adjusted for a more refined look, with a large R30 rounding for improved acoustics.
Optional extension feet with vibration isolation will also be available.

Damn beautiful!!! What was the targeted price of the MTM and the Cardioid Bass Module? :cool:
Usually i'm more the fan of bookshelfspeakers with Subwoofer, but this is a different Story Here, they Look superb!

Our expecting price is around $10k - $11k for pair with shipping cost.
Without isolation foot and custom color, etc.
It must be better than normal floorstanding speakers which are suffered from bass issue.

1.1 to 1.2 m is a bit high for a lot of people and rooms, I wonder if the top module would benefit from being tilted downwards a little.

OFC if you're seated far enough it matters less and the vertical dispersion is quite wide for an MTM.

Otherwise, C6C + regular sub(s) should be an excellent, flexible and more affordable configuration even if you don't get cardioid dispersion all the way down.

A bit of tilting would help.
If you listen at 3m distance from the speakers, 1 deg is about 8cm. Even if you listen at 90cm from floor, it’s only less than 5 deg from tweeter level.
 
That is one gorgeous looking floor standing speaker. And with the fine measurements too, cannot go wrong.
 
I totally agree Matias an extremely elegant design. Kii killer.

Omg. I just looked up kii3 bxt system . Frighteningly expensive and that's coming from a new owner of used Salon2.
 
Awesome description of the Kii Three. How are the Ascilab Cardoid speakers similar or different?

 
We will have to wait and see, I believe from the prototypes measurements every bit as good if not better and much cheaper.
