I liked the french sound and I recognize the neutral characteristic of the MAOP series.

 

[Stanislav]

Sounds sort of nice, but me being very familiar with that Rickie Lee Jones track from Pop Pop, I found it sounding quite artificial and mid-fi. A lot of hard edges, lacking clarity and air, which is in the recording.
Overall rather disappointing.
Cannot say anything about the other pieces of music.
This is one problem with youtube music samples, one needs to be familiar with the music to be able to judge it.

Any cabinet design guidance ... the MAOP 11 being a new driver very few tested cabinet designs around....

I listened to it in a distributor's listening room about six years ago and found that with a bass reflex of this size, the low frequency range was limited to 60 Hz.
The enclosure material was hard, so the sound was crisp and clear, but the overall treble sounded strong.

I have four on Markaudio's MAOP11 page under the box-plans section. Lhotse is my favourite, as a [relatively] unforced MLTL. I should probably do some more.

This is an audition speaker for sale, not for collection.

Mr.Nakajima of the Japanese distributor does not like the sound of resonance (BH, ML-TL, and TQWT, etc).
So the Japanese distributor sells only bass reflex.
I may be the only one who has built frugel-horn in Japan.

 

[Scottmoose]

Norio does have his own preferences -although it's a little ironic since a bass reflex (technically vented box unless it's following Thuras / Altec / pre-Novak assumptions) is a resonant load!

 

[sridip]

You certainly need to.... Maybe

You received my two emails from week-last Friday & earlier this week?

 

[sridip]

Hi Scott,
Received your response... Am still looking for the optimum cabinet design..
Regards.

 

[Scottmoose]

The definition of optimum being? You didn't give me any feedback on the overall dimensions I forwarded, what you liked, what you would have prefered etc., so without that I can't do more.

 

[sridip]

I replied maybe you did not receive the message ...am forwarding again....

 

[Scottmoose]

You have mail: I've forwarded my email of the 17th & 21st again, as it seems to have gone astray. You'll see it includes the basic external dimensions of two enclosure options, one of which is on your specified height limit, the second being a little shorter and slightly wider to compensate.

 

[sridip]

Hello Scott,

Finally received them .... Thanks indeed ... Have also replied could you check ...

Hello,

What would be the best way to place the speaker wire inside the cabinet in case of a MLTL design ......

 

[Scottmoose]

Same as any other enclosure really: quite literally 'as you like', just ensuring it doesn't rattle against the walls, driver, duct or braces, or if it punches through an internal baffle, that the gap is properly sealed (last three as / where relevant). It's more an aesthetic choice than a functional one about where you prefer to connect the external speaker leads.

I have an early version of the MAOP 11 trapezoid miniOnken. Asked earlier, a Compact Floorstander isn’t going to happen, uness someone is interested in a Twin.

Like the M10.2, M11.2 fits a different box than the P11 it is derived from.
