New Markaudio Drivers

[orangeart]

My pleasure. I'll look forward to your thoughts.

Thanx Stefan. I picked up A11ms today. Chris is installing in a Woden ML-TL for the Eikona, A11ms, A10.3eN comparo. TOm is bringing his latest amp and we’ll use that for that system.

We’ll also have the A7.3eN/A12pWeN MTM.

This reads like a Cold War encrypted message to a layman .

Sounds like a great collection of speakers to compare

 

[eventhorizon]

There will also be a full set of miniOnkens (Mar-Kens).

dave

Will There be a floorstanding MarKen? Any ideas of bass output and extension (hoping I won't need a sub )

 

[eventhorizon]

Could you clarify what you mean by Butterworth? Some kind of passive network compensation or cabinet damping? Any ideas how to remove or mitigate that 500 Hz impedance hump?

 

[eventhorizon]

I don't see them on the Madisound site, do I need to contact them directly?

It looks like for the A7ms (a CFS), for the A11ms only if you extend the standmount to the floor.

Q=0.707

Not without redesigning the driver. That is the transition from pistonic to chaotic reproduction.

You’ll have to poke them. They haven’t been made yet AFAIK.

Very much looking forward to reading your first impressions

I don't believe they are available from them yet. You'll either have to get them from the Japan dealer, Norio or my good self.

And here I thought I had put single drivers behind me and THIS shows up. *sigh* Why can't I quit you!?

They are your mistress StevenZ

 

[Octavia]

mingle the single with a subterranean subwoofer and you'll fall in love all over again

Just getting some pre-show listening / driver break-in to stock A11MS in ScottL’s MLTL, powered by Modulus686 . I’m finding them not at all hurtful- but the real golden ears will be able to pontificate and elucidate better than I come tomorrow’s event.

Anxiously waiting for someone's ruling on these in proper cabinets.




How robust are the frames? Mark seems to be going on and on about them being so environmentally friendly etc., and wondering if the frames are ridgid enough..

 

[planet10]

The new frames are still “plastic” but harder & stiffer than the 1st generation. Also more compact and such that a rebate becomes unnecessary. More expensive than the previous frames (and way more expensive than aluminum) but well worth it IMO.

dave

 

[Octavia]

Really no rebate required? That alone will make a big difference for those of us who are carpentry impaired.

 

[planet10]

Yes it will.
