Vanguard Scout Speaker

Glad you like them Drjoe!

You won’t find another speaker with quality rosewood veneer cabinet, nicely voiced, and high quality crossover like this for $300.

What's even more insane is I got them on the Memorial Day Sale for $250!
Am I correct in assuming that larger inductor is in the woofer circuit and don't bother trying to "upgrade" to air-core?

 

[xrk971]

Yes, it’s the woofer and has very low DCR. You will need a very heavy gauge air core to get same low DCR. This gives the nice bass response. Iron core works well for woofers if properly implemented.

I have placed my Vanguard Scouts in a 'Compromised Location'. Mainly because of other factors of life. My main listening room is occupied by a Very Large Horn System, and the Scouts are doing duty in my Upstairs Great Room for TV, Movies and Background Music. The Bass can get a bit boomy because of this location. They are on a book shelf, with 10 inches behind the speaker. They are basically inside a small 'cavern'. (Picture Attached). I am thinking that a Port Plug of some type would help with this situation. What would you recommend for this?

Some grey packaging foam (polyurethane open or closed cell) stuffed in the port should work. Even a small microfiber towel.

I used a couple of Micro Fiber towels as you suggested, and that seems to have taken care of the boomies. So, thanks much !
