Hi all,
it's been quite some time since I posted the last time....
Well, my new open baffles are finally finished, the carpenter really took his time...%&"!!
This is my interpretation of the theme "transparent baffle", sort of juggling with baffle area and esthetic "impact". They are now 120 cm high and around 60 cm wide, including the wings. The wings are made from 10mm plexi (isn't that lexan over in the US?) and attached with small dowels (?), the baffle itself is 19mm pearwood.
To have the possibility to try different drivers and to NOT have holes in the front I came up with a mounting device made from 5mm aluminium that also allows different clamping forces of the driver from zero to destruction
.
Drivers are the venerable Telefunken 8"ers from 1953 with the big magnet and Saba tweeters. The lower Qt of the Telefunken makes for a slight rollof to the lower regions, but with my closed subwoofer for the bottom bass quality is outstanding...very fast and no booming whatsoever!
Sound quality overall truly is the best I ever had....very easy and reveilling, you are sort of looking into the music!!
regards,
Oliver
