Actually it's my experience that an OB can be too big. I spent
quite a bit of time with my 6' high x 4' wide baffles and concluded that
they were too big. Cutting them down to 5' X 4' was a real improvement.

I think at least part of that is due to the ability to access more of the
rear wave's "illumination" of the back wall and reduced standing waves
between the baffle and the wall.

Hey Nelson,
I had the pleasure of hearing your room at RMAF in '07 and I was really happy when I left your room. a real pleasure to listen to music in there, musical and chill . Again in '08, I was just loving your OB's but even better was meeting Colin and his generous expertise and sharing of info. Please thank him.
Do you plan to bring the Feastrex OB this year to RMAF? or maybe burning amp? Love to hear them...

Thanks. We'll be there again. As we display with Lowther America,
you will not be surprised if Feastrex is not featured in our display.

Burning Amp we might be able to manage.

Indeed. I hope to visit you at both events... wife, son,job,money permitting! Thanks.

Nelson, ask Jon to also bring his Lowther drivers treated with the EnABLe treatment. It is well worth the listen.

Hi

Compared with Lowther PM6A what is the major difference in sound?
And how much better are they? It is 5 times the price.

OK guys, Mr. Pass has well earned his success and I marvel at his products, but I have yet to hear a speaker with a whizzer cone, at any price, that sounds as good as a high quality dome properly matched to a good 6 or 8 inch driver. No that I have given up on full range, at age 73, I am still experimenting, seeking that grail of single driver sound. Mr. Pass let us know your results with the new drivers.
