AsciLab speakers are about to launch

[AudioJester]

Are you trying to drive all the other speaker makers in the world out of business? Cause it looks like you're succeeding.

Yeah, incredible value for money line up.

Hey, were you not the one begging for the A6B to be re-released? Did you order a set now its available?

Not yet. Waiting to see how the tariff situation shakes out. Probably get it when it makes financial sense for me to do so.

How do you guys think about this beast?

Looks good, crossing over at 200hz will chop of the area where the 6inch woofer starts to distort. Have to ask though, would it not sound better with 2 6inch (like on c6c) and crossed over lower say 100hz and 8inch subwoofers?

 

[AsciLab]

Is C6C still the next release?

Anything you can share with that speaker?

C6C is developing. We are customizing the drivers. Almost done.

 

[AsciLab]

No problems.

You did publish a 2025 product line up earlier in the year, but that didn't include the A6B nor the C8T. Perhaps that could be updated to list your latest plans?

Yes. That was the very first road map. So everything was different from expecting as usual. We of course will develop most of the list but the release date will be delayed.

 

[AsciLab]

Looks cool.

Sounds cool too

 

[AsciLab]

I love it. And the directivity control is amazing.
I’m just wondering, though, how much baffle step is hurting the mid-bass driver if you are crossing it down as low as ~200Hz? Can you get higher mean sensitivity if you cross higher? Or should I not care, buy plenty of Watts and rejoice in the directivity, low distortion (any early predictions for that?) and excellent overall linearity/bandwidth?

We crossed bass - mid driver around 200Hz.
The baffle is narrow but also vertically long.
So the baffle step doesn’t take bass not that much. The midbass driver lose about 4dB in bass range.

The bass driver sensitivity is 85-86dB. So though I cross bass to mid more higher I can’t get more sensitivity in bass range. Under 200Hz. I can use more bass range of the mid woofer, but it decreases the advantage of 3 way design.

 

[AsciLab]

A 2.5-way config does indeed counter baffle step loss, but I was wondering if the 3-way design here could achieve the same by crossing the mid-bass before the baffle loss takes full effect. This assumes that the SPL from the 2x 8” drivers is suitably high to match the SPL of the mid-bass.

The two 8” driver raw sensitivity perfectly match to the mid woofer sensitivity. Around 86dB.

Dual 8” beefy subwoofer can’t be mounted in the narrow width. And the sensitivity is a nightmare for passive speaker. People won’t want to get 80dB sensitivity floorstanding speaker .

AsciLab C8T is developing.
I’m satisfied with the first result.

The woofer position will be a bit differed to get more smooth response.

Cause the bass roll off is quite smooth and deep, in room response will be easily down to 20-30Hz.
40 to 80Hz -6dB/oct, 20 to 40Hz -10dB/oct.

This speaker has more deep controlled directivity down to 200Hz. It’s rare to see as a passive speaker. It’s almost cardioid speaker.

How do you guys think about this beast?

Wow that looks really good! How is it possible that the directivity of the mid driver is so well controlled down to 200hz? And are the woofers also from sb (nacs?)?
Amazing work you guys are doing!

Now that I have the C6B, I’m fantasizing about a floor-standing speaker. The above looks amazing in the measurements, however my only wish would be a tower with less depth. For smaller apartments like mine in Asia, it’s difficult to integrate two “walls” of speakers in the main room. Something with a bit more width, but less depth would integrate better in a room IMO. I think Monitor Audio nailed it with their Silver 6 iteration of floor-standing speakers, regarding the dimensions and appearance.

I guess if you don't have a lot of room your best solution would be F6BS (or C6BS maybe in the future) on walls and one or more subs, this way you can better optimize your space

How about these?

Seconding others' opinions for the C8T tower, I would prefer something a bit shorter and less deep, could be a bit wider to reach similar volume. And with those drivers quite high, could be better for stability.

It's not just about having the same volume. Changing the width of the baffle has a lot of knock-on effects.

I'm still waiting for Ascilab to make some infinite-baffle designs...

The depth may be necessary to accommodate the width of the side woofers. Especially if the front and rear baffles are quite thick.

 

[Pritaudio]

Is there going to be a c5b?

Is there going to be a c5b?

Yes, but no eta, see here.

Not c5c, but c5b.
Ie. Passive.
