Alpair MAOP 10.2

[LeifB60]

It is strange my MAOP have totally different data, Qts is lower 0.28 and Fs is lower 34A, 35B Hz.

The most important thing is that they are fitted into each other.
Do not hang on to the fact that they differ in pairs.

I would like to mentioned compare to other member in forum my have low FS 34 compare to others around 41

When did you buy them?
My pair have fs 43Hz

Just as well they come in matched pairs 😀 have also noticed some pairs with 87.5 db sensitivity while mine are closer to 90db . perhaps the hand made nature of the drivers creates such differences or maybe it’s a normal variation for speakers in general but highlighted by having individual measured units .

Maybe you paid more then I.
Maybe yours is better.
But I love mine. Realy pinpoint between speakers and give me a deep soundstage.

What box do you use?

Something between ML-TL and bass reflex my own design.

I suppose it will go realy deep. Do you like the sound?

It is end game for me. (RPI4-SPDIF output-SPDIF XLO Reference cable-Musician Pegasus-Hegel H200-MAOP) Only would like to try in future single ended A class integrated amplifier.

There are a lot of different versions of MAOP drivers, even within one basic model. And not all have the same spec as somoetimes things change. MAOP10 had at least 3 different runs that i know about, all slightly different...

Surprisingly, I have my MAOP 10 on a FHXL being driven well by a SET EL84 tube amp at 3-4 watts per channel

Good choice. I think they go very deep in the base.

When building cabinet(s) for the MAOP 10.2, will it typically follow the design/dimensions/displacement for Alpair 10.3, 10.2, or another model?

 

[planet10]

No. Except for things like FHXL.

Dave hello, but the Pensil cabinet design for the Alpair 10.2 can be good for the MAOP 10.2?
The FHXL is, probably, a more difficult build for me.

The A10.2 MAOP should work in the A10.3 Pensil. http://frugal-phile.com/boxlib/pensils/Pensil103-plan-300114.pdf

Scott?

Original A10 MAOP would go in A10.2 Pensil.

Yes it does. You can adjust the stuffing below the driver in an FHXL cabinet to suit the bass you want

Dave is right. I originally had the A10.3 with FHXL and just swap the MAOP10 and I liked the change in driver while maintaining the FHXL cabinet

 

[LeifB60]

Perfect. Do you like the sound?
