Um, I think you mean high passed headphones with a transducer? As in passing the highs through to the headphones while keeping the lows in the tactile deally.

This is my desktop setup. goes down to 40Hz at 80db.
Sounds amazing!
That looks really cool. I like the way those resonance avoiding holes also add a designer look to the tubes. Which drivers are you using? - looks like Dayton drivers?😕

That is just the like of setup I was thinking of! Just replace the full ranges with my gennies.
What size woofers are them?
edit: and I already got some quality headphones, but I prefer speaker listening whatsoever, so why not try this? 😀

Hey thanx Jack! yup, Dayton reference series.
Here is the build thread if you want to check them out.

I have sixteen 21" dipole woofers just 1.5 meter from my listening position... its kinda kool. 🙂
No it's not, but better than much further away....
That being said, the dipoles measures a lot better than monopoles at that distance, indicating that there are less room effects.

I'd think it's not less room effect but less detrimental. Your 16 dipoles act like 32 monopoles.
I can vouch for that.. Olatunji sounded incredible! 🙂
Then I showed the pictures to my wife.. guess what she said??
What do you mean exactly? The response in listening position is actually the same with one or 16 drivers active.
You've said "dipoles measures a lot better than monopoles at that distance". That's because one dipole acts like two monopoles (very close together, polarity reversed). Hence different room interaction when comparing a dipole with a monopole.
I'd think it does unless your room is very well damped and/or transmissive at low frequencies.
Physics dictates that change of location of source and receiver will change transfer function.
