Fertin vs Supravox

[felixx]

I receive the Supravox drivers (215RTF Bicone).....oh....god.....
What dinamics.......what DETAIL......and absolutly no needed to add any tweeters.The higs was sublime......The detail of instruments is fantastic.Is clean and very fast driver.
I test that drivers ...simply out of boxes....in free air.
My issue is creating an right enclosure for them.
Scott helps me a lot...tanks for that....and right now I'm not decided yet.
An OB will be atractive......but not with 15" drivers..... something like THOR subwoofers (linkwitzlab.com) attachet the Supravox on the upper area on the small baffle plan.Do you think that 12"XLS Peerless
should be fast enough for Supravoxes?
Another plan was to do something like that:
http://www.supravox.fr/kits/panneauplan.pdf
But maybe I find a better bass driver for that......and all without any active filters or multiple amps.......only a coil.I don't know yet about bass response in that plan but maybe if I find the right driver....
Any thoughts?

Thors, good move. The Supravox baffle, also good, but it needs a larger bass driver like a 15in job IMO.

O.K. Scott....give me some links to find that driver....
This one?

On the grafics.....is pretty well,but qts.....?

Something like this should do the trick. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-560

Or this, though the Q is a little lower. Not in itself an insurmountable problem, it just might make life a little more complicated.

The other solution of course is to use 2 12in woofers per channel a la the Linkwiz Orion (otherwise known as one of the the greatest speakers ever made IMHO, despite my love of FR drivers). Those Peerless jobs should do nicely.

I think that 2xPeerless a la Linkwitz Orion is more suitable for large rooms but this is only my opinion.It will do the right job only with Thor......I think.
I love that project:

But replace that two subs with only THOR.
So....two THORS with two Supravox on the small OB.
Hmmmm??

Two Thors with the Supravox will work very well, I tried similar combinations before. The Thor is a good sub to start with and will blend quite well with fullrangers.
