Experience with the Jordan Eikona

[planet10]

I have the original Alpair 10s.

Sim attached.

Alternatively, what would the A10 be like in a transmission line?

Probably. Pensil, Brines, M10-A10 for the newer ones. Old A10 was close enuff to A10.2 that they work in the same reflex box.

Thanks for that, Dave

Mea culpa

You guys are talking about sealed boxes/acoustic suspension.

Dave,

Thank you for pointing that out. I feel guilty to perpetuate such sloppiness in a forum like this, particularly as my drawings use the correct terminology.

People interested in the Jordan Eikona may want to check out this very impressive transmission line build over at Canuck Audio Mart.

Andy,
Eikona is a step up from JX92 - much smoother. I have no experience of the Alpair 10, so can't help with a comparison

Mine are in infinite baffles of about 12 litres. The optimum is 6 or 7 litres.

I run a DSP to smooth out the excess mid-range. After trying all sorts to get bass out of the JX92s, I decided on infinite baffles plus 10inch drivers crossed over at 100Hz, in separate cabinets. Double bass, tuba, organ pedals are much more realistic.

I have the earlier Aurousal VSx with JX92s drivers in the same TL cabinets as the Focalstage Floorstanders in a direct comparison between the two speakers I found insufficient difference to make an upgrade. using my own amplifier when auditioning the speakers. The bass was ever so slightly slightly better but heard no difference in smoothness. I am very happy with the Aurousal VSx, the reviews IMO are not accurate.The VSx speakers IMO justifiy a 85% Sound rating as used by HFN & RR.

Having auditioned the latest Acoustic Insight Phantom Source Floorstanders incorporating Eikona 2 drivers, I find them considerably better than the Aurousal VSX , I am very happy with my purcahase of the PS speakers especially when driven by the excellent Arcam P49 Class G amplifier.
