Bowfinger: 8x TB W3 OB line array
I had the drivers already modeled in SolidWorks, and I always wondered what this combo would look like. And it looks like it wants to be called "Bowfinger."
The center height of the array is 36 inches from floor. Baffle width is about 7 inches. Mids: TangBand W3-881S The tweeter enclosure (shown with two opposing Vifa D26NC-55) is held to the main baffle magnetically, so it can be adjusted up and down along the array. Woofer is a 12 inch sealed with active eq I guess. Floor mat is 24 inch dia for scale. I'd really like to hear everyone's comments (plus comments on styling generally). |

Looks very nice.
I have yet to listen to a good dipole-sealed hybrid including xtat speakers. There is always soemthing that ruins the dipole sound although the bass quantity is there. (non-uniform response?)

A very nice idea.
Do you have enough room behind the woofer that way? It looks a bit narrow. Only negative I have is that little ball on the side. Looks a bit parasitic. Could you incorporate it into the array? |

There's some room to clear the back of the woofer.
I don't think it will work so well with such a narrow open baffle, as I'll lose too much mids from dipole cancellation. Might work better as sealed mids? I thought it would be useful to be able to slide the tweeter up and down and thought the sphere might look cool, so I didn't try to hide this feature. Maybe there's some camouflage technique to help hide it (like making it the same color as the baffle). |
