You are going to reconsider that when you see the new D&D speaker

You are going to reconsider that when you see the new D&D speaker

When is it going to be released ?

 

[kemmler3D]

Dang, is D&D going big? I know there was speculation about a 10" but I wonder if they're going to 12 or beyond... @Purité Audio hinted at something similar. In-ter-est-ing!

Rumor is early next year

My lips are sealed, else Martijn will disappear me

How could you MK when Martijn put such trust in your discretion!

Ugly! Martijn would never produce such a product … but a nice effort nonetheless

Oops, everybody now knows that D&D has merged with Cerwin-Vega.
Bass, yeah baby...

Unless he heard the bass first, then he would be addicted and dancing uncontrollably.

Only if it’s cardioid

Maybe they are 36”

 

[Pearljam5000]

They will probably look like a more modern Geithain

Thanks
But is it possible for DIY to reach the levels of a product made by JBL?
I doubt it
Why aren't there DIY Genelecs ?

I guess if you find 'same-level-drivers' or the exact JBL s you can actually make a better, less resonant cabinet. Dampened. De coupled. The frontal baffle, very important for definition and clarity

If you can get JBL drivers it is not a rocket science to copy its simple enclosure and crossover and such has been succesfully done already several times.

Two main reasons you don't often find DIY Genelecs clones, you can't get their drivers easily and also their rounded enclosures cannot be easily copied at hobby level DIY.

What's your definition of easy? It's always hilarious when people show up and say to almost any consumer products that don't buy it just DIY it easily but then a linked video or forum thread shows someone with all of these tools, skills and even for this person it took lots of hours to build just one.
Yes, it sounds easy that you need to just cut wood, glue it and screw in the drivers but only if you have the tools, no need to almost "shame" someone for buying the real thing (though the 12k USD sounds high, in Europe I can see prices around 8000k euros).

I happen to have a friend with a very big wood working lab, l direct, he does! We will copy somehow the concept, buy different hi quality drivers, less expensive than the impossible JBL! And build an even heavier, de coupled, non resonant enclosure. For 2500 euros we make the trick. X over is external electronic.
