Post Subject: The evolution of the colloidal loudspeakerPosted by rickmcinnis on: 10/28/2010

Glad to hear you have found a satisfying point so that you can listen to your system.

Certainly the low bass is not as critical to your being able to enjoy the system, although no question there is much to be gained from that being optimized.

Trying to get all of these elements to blend seemlessly is akin to the colloid and for those who require more sybstance than a single driver system can provide there is no choice but to find a way. Most multi-way systems are not close to being colloidal.

I am inspired by your determination to get it right. I find it easy to get close and try to listen past the flaws. This is easier with my system since its resolving power is nowhere close to what your system is capable of. I find your reports and your efforts inspiring and will try to be more critical with my adjustments. I suspect I am not alone in finding something of use in this thread.

Now to read about the evolution of the subwoofer project ...

(Back to the air cores, I did not consider the impedance of your drivers assuming approx. 8 ohms)
