Thanks @Plott
Can you name the class D I am also using my OB with Nelson pass F5 turbo or a Kinki Studio ex m1+ would like to try a class D

Thanks Scott!
...and now the well known demo song, no change in the speaker or xo configuration, just another power amp. I think the difference is huge. It's still lively, but far from shouty/harsh:

Wow, beautiful sounding 💪

I am in the process of building something similar - at first i will be using a Lii Fast 8 FR and the Bianco 15OB350 bass (as i have both lying ready), with the intend to change the F8 into an W8-2145 or the W8-1808, down the line.

I am going to use a Biamp6-24 for active crossover - are you willing to share your crossover design?
I am thinking about implementing the same tweeter as you use with passive crossover from the FR (instead of having to use two Biamp6-24s)
Have you heard the 1808? there is quite a price difference, so i am thinking, if it is worth the extra money in this use-case.

 

[Plott]

Many thanks Brian!
No, I don't know the 1808, but according to the test it's really good.

I use my diy XW-1 https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...ign-class-d-amp-with-pffb.372379/post-7325423 which is my interpretation of X's Warp 1 🙂 it's gorgeous. On my speaker it outperforms my class A amps.

A further demo, just because I like the sound very much 😀

Wow wow wow. Amazing!

Did you record this with an iPhone?

 

[Plott]

Many thanks X!
No, it's a Samsung S23 Ultra.

Hi Plott, which app did you use for recording? Amazing, btw. Thanks, Ernst

 

[Plott]

Hi Ernst, many thanks.
It's a simple video recording, no special app used.

Try “trouble with the sweet stuff” by Billy Idol. 😉

@Plott I think it now deserves details of the baffle, drivers and your custom crossover as its playing superbly. Love the concert like music coming out of your speakers.

Thanks

It's the first time ever that I can listen to every kind of music, no matter which genre... I never get the feeling "that doesn't suit my system". Now I can here (almost) every of my CDs and I listen every day for some hours. It's great.
Now, a completely different music (genre):

It sounds excellent! 🙂

 

[Plott]

Many thanks, glad you like it! 🙂

Do you have a sub woofer?

 

[Plott]

No 🙂 and I'm totally satisfied with the bass.

 

[jmascreen]

Then its really good low ends you are getting. How far is it from back and side walls?

 

[Plott]

Thanks, I like it really very much.
The speakers are about 1.1 m in front of the wall, left 1.1 m, right 2.2 m.

Do you have any horizontal and vertical off axis measurements?
The tweeter looks like an interesting add on, but I'm curious of the FR as you move the mic up, or to the side.

 

[Plott]

Sorry, but no.
The whole thing is trimmed to the listening place with this placement of the speakers and the drivers.
