Dave - May I ask what are the speakers immediately to the inside of the Em-Kens in this picture? The short floor standers. They look nice and compact with what appears to be an 8" driver. Thanks in advance!
Em-Ken?
We have been working on these for sometime, ostensibly for use in PA work (slowly). Our goal is for a speaker that will fill this role and still be usable as a PA speaker. This summer we did get to the point where we were happy with the sound in a hifi role. Took quite a bit of work on the driver (Eminence 12LTA). Some here are quite happy with the driver in stock form (less dust caps).
They are about the same efficiency as Vulcan, but handle more power, and being a 12" move more air. They do need a tweeter -- the one you see is a cap coupled Foster, the one used in the radio shack pods.
We have also done a test fit of a Fostex FT17 mounted in some plumbing fittings that can be fitted as a Phase plug… given the high XO that arrangement would be good, we will proceed with that next.
All the drivers are quite inexpensive.
