Constant Beamwidth Transducer (CBT) Speakers

[Bjorn]

Here's the CBT standing.

Do you guys like the finish? It's matte white and American walnut matte. The drivers are black by the way. Tweeters are glossy black and midbass/woofer is matte black.

Yes, but for home theater would prefer darker. Perhaps baffle in black and the cabinet in walnut?

Had glossy black with maple veneer as a second option. But either all black painted or combined with walnut is also something to consider. Offering two standard ones is likely enough, but hopefully with the option of custom finishes with pre-ordering.

Cool stuff! Where in Norway are you located? I'm in the Oslo area and would love to hear a pair of these some day! Not that I'd ever be able to afford it though, but still

25 minutes drive from Bergen down town.
May bring the CBTs to the show in Asker in March. But obviously a small hotel room isn't the best for demoing.

Ah yeah Bergen is a bit too far away, but a hotelroom in Asker might work! The CBT should take the room a bit out of the equation thought shouldn't it?

It greatly minimizes vertical reflections. There are hardly any audible ones. Horizontally the dispersion is wide. While it's constant/uniform in the horizontal plane, it will obviously cause early arriving reflections. We will treat those though, but treating for many seats is tricky.

But we may only bring the Vera Audio Coherence 12 speaker. Not sure it's a good idea to bring both.

Yeah you only have to deal with half of the reflections which is nice. And as far as I've understood they also have a wider sweet spot as well?
Personally I'd vote for you to bring these, will probably attract a bigger crowd, they're really interesting speakers imo!

Yes, sound doesn't change much anywhere above the Schroeder frequency due to the constant directivity and less than 3 dB loss per meter. But a larger room would have been much better. Might bring both.
