[quote user="Markus"]These speakers were not open baffle. I would agree with Mani's description of their sound, except for the 'edge' bit. That depended on where you were sitting/standing.[/quote]Then they would be baffle extenders which are not with...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Weren't these speakers (at least in Germany) normally used built-in (infinite baffle situation)? And I don't like the word "open baffle" because it can mean anything. It reaches from quasi-IB like proposed by PHY-HP up to that mor...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] Yeah, but plywood is cheap and the result is audibly noticeable. Baffle extensions were recommended for all of the Altec VOT cabinets too. Make a big improvement for cheap if you have the space.
As the frequency dec...

When i Moved in my new house in july 2000, it took me 6 months to get my speakers and general system togeather and working. The narrow band that your vitavox 15 inchers will be working in, how does that relate to your infinite baffle? 60Hz to 350Hz i...

How about this idea: to have sort of infinite baffle in PP configuration but to distribute it to the middle of the room as it depicted below?...
|
[quote user="noviygera"]There seems to be a lack of useful feedback on the actual sound quality of these oddball, relatively rare TAD mids. So I think it would be helpful to share some basic observations I gather after listening to them for a couple ...

Window needs to be sealed with non resonant baffle. 416's sound spectacular in inf baffle ! May be possible to horn load to a corner using standardgood design precedents with good throat coupling like my previous pictureThis picture: Back of 416's in...

I'm of the opinion that listening room aesthetics play a big role in enjoying music at home. This is self-evident, but over the many years playing with audio, my listening room has become incrementally cluttered with "audio detritus". It's ugly and...

Carbon is used by Audiotekne in a variety of products, from vinyl claps to a speaker with a 35mm carbon front baffle.
Some guys in Italy compared the same housing configuration built in wood using the same driver and they swear it's so much better b...

I researched infinite baffle[s] and was going to do an install at our previous home. We moved just before starting the project. There is very good info on the net. If you want, I can do a deep paper-work search to see if I can locate the info. on ...

My contractors who built for me the 40Hz midbass horn in my former
listening room is doing currently my infinite baffle manifold. The deals was changed,
it is not what depicted above and there is no compression chamber in there anymore.
It make wi...

That is what I thought you were going for in the first place:You have the basement right under your listening room, and those wonderful Aura 18" woofers...You can place them sideways (very important) on some kind of vent that shoots into the room...
|
Don't know construction details, of course, but I'm sitting way out on the West Coast thinking, "I'd swap the baffle". Easy for me to say, I realize...Paul S...

Gentlemen:I assure you, Infinite Baffle bass simply has no peer. Yes, you do need specialized drivers. The Infinite baffle bass concept is so old, it's rarely even considered anymore, plus, you are indeed married to the installation....

[quote user="Markus"]These speakers were not open baffle. [/quote] Actually they are. They might not look like open baffle but they have all negative conceptual characteristics of the open baffle. I think to properly evaluate what those type of the s...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]our logic is correct but you refuse to see the whole picture - this is the biggest mistake the admirers of the open baffles do. Let trace the entire process. You grow the size of the baffle in order to keep the speakers to ...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...
|
Thank you for comments.I agree with front-baffle concerns.I'll redesign it.But I'm still thinking to keep Tapped Horn integrated somehow to the whole setup and may be use RoomCorrection, but only for Tapped Horn (20-50Hz).Another problem with Tapped ...

In "High End" today we can see nearly every possible Design and obviously it seems that we find for EVERYTHING a fanatical Fangroup.Be it Tonearms made of Wood, or Plastic (of course it has a different, more important sounding name), multi speaker ch...
|
Ok, the front baffle is ready. As I said the front baffle, the surface where the diverter will be attached, ingrated with the first section of the horn. You might judge the solidity if you wish – it is 5 layers of ¾ Baltic birch + 1 layer for front ...
|
[quote user="el`Ol"]Maybe one should't give up the attic-IB idea, the subs could fire downwards.http://www.aespeakers.com/drivers.php?driver_id=8[/quote] Great idea, thanks for reminding. That still might be an option. I need to educate myself about...

Thanks Romy,Yes, I received your advice in the past privately regarding proper size for 1808 enclosure, and I thank you for pointing me in right directions. Yes, sealed box is simple calculation using e.g., WinISD. I am experimenting with&n...

Ok, my carpenter brought today two large manifolds for 4 Aura
drivers and this week will be installing them. Can’t wait how it will end up sounding......

My mood swings around this Remedios project are remarkable. Literally a few days ago I meant to trash the whole things and start from scratch and now I again am super enthusiastic, unhealthy enthusiastic. Paul was right to fix 6-in baffle will be pa...

[quote user="el`Ol"]But when the frequency where the dipole acoustic short circuit "kicks in" is clearly below the Fs of the driver, everything "dipoly" that can happen are rear wall reflections with the wrong phase, and that danger is also reduced b...

If you look at the picture second from the the top, you will see 2 woofers mounted in front on the baffle, notice a 2 piece horn from the baffle. Klangfilm never had such a horn, they would start at the baffle and curve out. The horn in your picture'...
