monsoon planar computer spkrs

capt mike · 27th July 2008, 03:33 PM

has anyomne tried to use these planer panels as mid or HF drivers in a custom system? i have 4 of them the model MM1000. they play pretty loud off the 25 WPC the plate amp in the sub box feeds them, wondered how they'd perform if used in a home stereo set up in stead of computer? try them like you might use a ribbon driver in a 2 way system?

maybe feed them a signal from a passive xover?

ideas?

bought what as left of these and rebuilt them all. He uses them as mid units and they sound very good. You might have a go at picking his brain about them.

A friend of mine built speakers with about 8 or so of the monsoon panels per speaker. They are crossed at 200hz and then up high to aurum cantus ribbons/pioneer ribbons.

When run as dipole I think they sound excellent. As monopole, not as "interesting".

I know he reads here, he may post when he gets back from vacation.
