215 driver
Thorsten,
Wouldn't be better to use 215 Signature instead of 215 Signature Bicone adding some horn tweeter above 10K avoiding some of the mechanical whizzer/main cone cross-over problems?
Just as an option to use of supertweeter.
As you said some supertweeter is needed.
Also ,how do they compare sonicly to Tannoy's?

Konnichiwa,
I wont even bother. I leave them over at the Audioasalem to burn their witches and warlocks as they please...
Yes, compared to plywood test baffles the Acrylic is somewhat more "literal", dryer than Plywood. The "ear to panel" test shows only fairly low frequencies being notable....
Sure. It is as always a question of what you want to achieve with a given design. As "upgrade" there will be likely a version with ribbon tweeter and the Fieldcoil Supravox.
Not with the bicone. You don't "need" a supertweeter any more than for example with Tannoy.
Usual thing. More directness and immediacy with slightly better transparence, but Tannoy plays louder without strain (and it's not the Amp's that start straining) and goes much lower in the LF (can be fixed with subwoofer of course....

The speaker looks stunning indeed. I wouldnt mind doing some copying myself. Hope theres a reasonable price on acryllic here in Sweden 🙂 Think my mangers would do pretty well in such application.
A wise man once said ( dunno who ) that if all guns and such things needed for war where send via the postalservice, no wars will ever occour since the packages would either arrive to late or everything in it would be broken...... He did have a point there 😉

KYW, just a thought regarding EQ and the lack thereof, you are not using the Ultracurve in this setup, are you? That would be cheating 😉
A single rear tripod leg might be easier, cheaper, and better looking then the bent metal. It would be easy to transport and the angle could be adjusted also- a nice feature with full rangers.
Just an idea...

Konnichiwa,
No, the UC is still in the rack but switched off. Neither of the Dipoles I have at hand in this thread made me feel the need for EQ!!!

Yeah dipoles are great... though I use EQ (narrow baffles and Qts=0.5 woofers) it sounded good even without it. And you get clean, punchy bass, not the boomy kind.
Konnichiwa,
Nope, my measurement mike is loaned out. However, subjective LF extension (based on bass notes) is well into the 50Hz range and proportional. In general tonality is unoffensive and evenhanded with good detail too. All these bode well, extreme deviations are always easy to spot by ear.

Kuei Yang Wang: Found this on another board and it may ( or may not ) be of significance for you. Better to be safe than sorry =)

Konnichiwa,
Thanks for that. I don't get direct sunlight (northfacing windows) where I am, so UV should be low, but it's worth keeping in mind....

Konnichiwa,
While I am showing projects off, here what I did with the Thomessen Module and the two 12" Woofers from the Bastanis "Prometheus" kit. The woofers appear based on the Eminence Delta 12LF but are customised. However, I suspect the Delta 12LF will work okay in a similar arrangement.
Rear view of Thomessen Module (probably one of the best and most flexible plate amps) attached....

Konnichiwa,
This sub has the "speed" and SPL ability to belnd in with either my open baffle semi full range speakers and also integrates well with the Beauhorns. Not bad. Drivers are in the two opposing sides, keeping them from too direct view and canceling the forces. Material is 5/8" MDF. Left hand side of Sub attached.

Nice speakers!
So KYW, you are happy with the Thommessen module? I'm considering their separate crossover for a sub project.
