Beyond the Ariel

Nice. Please can we get a picture of the front? 😁
Sure:

Hi @marco_gea,
No, I don't know.
Well, thank you very much anyway, especially for checking the dimensions.

Hi @AllenB,
You could calculate it from the drawing. I'd be willing to guide you through it.
That would be great. But, how can that be done since both the vertical and horizontal curves are without any dimensions and as such are, I am afraid, only approximations?

Kindest regards,

M
 
Including G.T. Sound parts? 😉

There's only one person I'm aware of that uses the D-04R outside of Japan, and not exactly in the kind of setup that I aspire.

Imho it's a kind of a waste of the outstanding qualities of said driver to use it in anything but a well-thought-out 2 way, let alone a complicated multiple horn system.

Someday I might, but I'm not willing to spend that amount of money yet.

You're undoubtedly familiar with this plot:

The response of the GSU-D04R (primarily between 350 and 4k) looks similar, slightly flatter - albeit with 8-10 kHz extra treble-extension,
even without horn!

I visited GT Sound's headquarters in Chiba (Japan) ten years ago, and I'd never heard a better system before... nor have I since.

You're not alone.

Someone else (also with a certain frame of reference) recently flew to Chiba and was equally impressed.

Compared to almost every so-called high-end manufacturer, be it Aries-Cerat, German Physics, Göbel, Living-Voice or whatever, G.T. Sound focuses solely on the basics/essentials. So they only produce 2-way monitor-like speakers, but executed (and perfected) beyond what other manufacturers think possible.
