Post Subject: Think about it as active room treatmentPosted by Romy the Cat on: 6/25/2023
Wow, where did you see a 1kW
amplifier that is able to produce bass that does not make you vomit? Also, why
would you need power like this. If you go with 15” high sensitivity driver,
then you would need 20-30W max. Do not forget that your objective would be not override
the 18db cancellation but very surgically to complement the room in one of
other direction. The key would be not the excursion of your driver but the crossover
pot in right location that will be by own face rotation will get rid of the
room mode. Again, do not fight with the room, use what it has. Also, why it
should be an expensive Vitavox driver? If you detect that the driver should out
a lot of sound then you might go for Vitavox or good vintage Altec, or good
vintage JBL. If you however detect that you need the drive not to “sound” but
to do “phase injection” then you can go with anything smaller and let exotic.
Think about your anti-cancellation chennal as an active room treatment. The sound of the driver is OK but the
selection of proper volume and proper crossover is 75% of success.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
