Ohoj!
Saw this test:
PureLow LO Subwoofer | Hi-Fi+
they seem impressed but price is *steep* to say the least... Maybe some here has a cheaper recipe and even tasted the dish?
Care to share?

And can someone with better unsderstanding describe how its done...
"...rather than having a flat ‘voice-coil’ placed in front of a magnetic array (a situation that means that the larger the excursion, the further the voice-coil – and diaphragm – moves from the magnetic field) the Orthophase design places the wires of the voice coil on stand-offs, behind the diaphragm and contained in deep, U-shaped magnetic channels, so that they remain firmly within the field’s grip."
Something like...

Would love a description from someone with a better understanding but in the mean time: https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/I...s/Radio-and-Hobbies-1962-03-OCR-Page-0023.pdf
Wow, 9 Hz resonance. Makes sense. Seems amenable to DIY construction (really should be posted in the Planars loudspeaker forum). 300 lbs.
Obviously has sound coming out the back but the manufacturer chooses to pretend it is only a bit of venting. Phony because they think customers avoid dipoles?

Good point about Q, but it shouldn't matter being outside the passband unlike all Rice-Kellogg sub drivers?
While anxiety about dipole interaction in a normal room (and spaced from the back wall) is exaggerated, I believe, it is sure to have some effect with this driver.
Maybe this is long-sought harmonious sub "match" for ESL speakers.

hmm interesting , i believe someone made something like this here ? forgot who it was. but it resembles more and more a normal dynamic driver except not using a round voice coil 🙂 i believe the person used this white plastic with hollow beams in it ? like poly carbonate stuff for transparent roofs in carport
i think many had a similar idea 😉 planar magnetic with electromagnets 🙂 only problem is they take quite some space (with the iron core and all the wire needed). and with the neos now i wonder if they are that much more powerfull (if at all for the given space). and if , at what kind of power. its like having a heater and a planar magnetic in one machine 🙂
