I think you meant 10 of these…Just 20 of these for a total of $15k to match 2 18" woofers![]()
If we are talking about a non-compromise approach anything else than a 2-way monitor plus a multi-sub setup is a to much of a compromise in my books.DIYers, how about the design a'la Revel Salon Ultima 2, but with Purifi transducers?
Huge Open Baffle?Unless the woofers are purely doing the lower frequencies and are basically just a subwoofer in the same cabinet.
Yes, I'm sure, it will be really goodunless your room acoustics are really really good.
Nah, I'm taking into account that you have 2 times the Xmax on an 18".I think you meant 10 of these…
Not for me. Mmm, it gets really interestingAlthough visually that would be a compromise for many people.
That's also possible, matter of taste at that point.Huge Open Baffle?
In that case, I would still invest in one or two active subwoofers in the back of the room.Not for me. Mmm, it gets really interesting![]()
I hope that I will be able to invite one person to listen to his large open baffles. I'll have a point of reference. You probably can't get better with OB than his speakers.That's also possible, matter of taste at that point.
The word "better" all depends on context, so that sentence doesn't make much sense to me.I hope that I will be able to invite one person to listen to his large open baffles. I'll have a point of reference. You probably can't get better with OB than his speakers.
Yes, my wrong.The word "better" all depends on context, so that sentence doesn't make much sense to me.
He say, that his OB have minimal excursion, even difficult to see when OB play.Higher excursion also creates more inter-modulation distortion.
You will be surprised to find out that for many famous 188” drivers it’s the opposite. It is not easy to move a large piston without breaking up.Nah, I'm taking into account that you have 2 times the Xmax on an 18".
Surely we can do twice as good: http://www.loudspeakerdatabase.com/BC/18IPALYou will be surprised to find out that for many famous 188” drivers it’s the opposite. It is not easy to move a large piston without breaking up.
I think his chart was measured on an open baffle. The drivers Qt is 0.34, as it can be seen that response is -12dB at 30Hz. You need to boost the power 8x to reach -3dB. Do you expect the distortion to stay as low as it’s shown?Huge Open Baffle?

I don't have idea, because I don't have experience. His OB have 8x 18 inch AE Dipol and 8x 12 inch AE Dipol. If I good remember these OB have 14Hz with -3 or -6dB.I think his chart was measured on an open baffle. The drivers Qt is 0.34, as it can be seen that response is -12dB at 30Hz.

Linkwitz has a simple calculator on his website to calculate the difference between a normal closed box vs dipole.I think his chart was measured on an open baffle.

You spend all your cash on your Kef wall.. so priorities I guess… It’s cheaper than the equivalent number of Purifies though, isn’t it. On the other hand, so many subs distributed in a room will probably give you very smooth low end response.And I’m Santa Claus.
Having a dipole that low doesn't make any technical sense at all.I don't have idea, because I don't have experience. His OB have 8x 18 inch AE Dipol and 8x 12 inch AE Dipol. If I good remember these OB have 14Hz with -3 or -6dB.
