Your system shouldn’t favor certain strengths or make specific music sound "better."
… Given my struggles to make a choice between the coax and planar (I will still post my impressions of the differences later after spending more time swapping and refreshing my “acoustic” memory), Soundfield has come up with a very intriguing design that combines both! Would allow me to have my cake and eat it too. To be clear, would effectively be two speakers systems in one, allowing me to switch on the fly between a coax or planar based speaker. One would fairly ask why not just have two separate speaker systems? Outside of the increased cost which would I am sure easily exceed my budget, I just don’t have the space for two systems in my listening room. So this would be a great solution. Soundfield still mulling over the details of the design, now just some wet ink on back of napkin, and in the end, I may not go this direction, but wanted to throw it out there for y’all to ponder … stay tuned …
Not seeing the napkin sketch, that seems like an odd and expensive compromise. I imagine if you went that route you would eventually find your self listening exclusively to one or the other and switch between them only when curious guests came by.
There would be no compromise, but understand what you are saying. I had same thought … that ultimately I would in the end only listen to one or the other, effectively one of the solutions then just being a waste. And yes, more auditioning time is needed. Once I post my observations of the differences between drivers I think you will understand my quandary
Howdy folks … just a quick update on what is happening “behind the scenes”
What problem does this solve though? I get wanting to try out different designs, but if they are so close in capability I would think you might just want to stick with one. Having drivers that aren’t in use just sounds like more things to break down the line.
Valid question/comments (though not using drivers doesn’t make them anymore prone to “break down”). When I finally provide my observations, I think my quandary will make more sense.
Link below. Not my room, but same coax speaker I have now. In room meaningless below 500Hz anyway. But this at least gives you idea of the FR of the coax design. Ultimately the only thing that matters is the anechoic of the final design, which I won’t have for 2-3 months when the final design is complete.
Understand. What folks are missing or have forgotten is this will be dual purpose theater and music system. Planar better for music, coax better for theater. I get best of both in one system.
It really is great, not to mention Soundfield has sent me TWO prototype systems, and one with interchangeable driver complements of course. This takes a ton of time that cannot be overlooked. Who else would do that? Add to that the literally 100s (1000s?) of questions and changes of mind Soundfield has dealt with from me. Crazy. I likely would have told a customer like me to go pound sand long ago
