Hi John
I wasn't taking offense at anything, just wondering about the differences between British and American rooms really. I remember your pictures showed your speakers on a hard floor near a wall. If as you say you have concrete walls and hard floors then I can see why the speakers might have been a bit better balanced out in the room. 🙂
I wanted mine out in the room for the best imaging and depth of soundstage, so I tuned them that way intentionally.
Ah imaging
Now that's what they are really good at.
My room is too small to have them out in the breeze so I miss out a bit in the
imaging department.
Steve.

Yep, you hit on something really good with your tall, narrow, elegantly simple design. I wish I had a room big enough for a pair made with 15" coax's....Imagine those 12' tall spires and the bass they would make.😀 😀

If you are gonna go big you might as well go bipole... but they may not be as tall as you guesstimate... height is a function of Fs.

Did someone mention Metronomes with a pair of 15in co-ax units?
No problem at all. Here's one for the P Audio BM15CX38: http://www.speakercity.com/Merchant...C&Product_Code=BM15CX38&Category_Code=PA-COAX (not cheap, but possibly good).
Line 72in
So=65in^2 (I used 6.5in wide x 10in deep)
Sl=360in^2 (I used 20in x 18in)
Zdriver 34in
Vent = 8in diameter, 0.75in long. Line the cabinet, or stuff 0.25lbs ft^3 above the driver. Might need a suprabaffle for mounting the driver to.

My neighbors would kill me if I had something those. That's why OB is my only option. When my buddy finishes his 2nd hotel at the beach, I'll talk him into letting me build a set of those.

For a bipole, So = 130 in^2, Sl = 720 in^2
using golden ratio 9 * 14.5 at the top 21.25 x 34 at the bottom...

Well, never let it be said Dave & I don't do 'big' speakers... 😀
Steve -I apologise. You got to all that effort to come up with an elegent, WAF friendly speaker, and then we go & create a monster... 😉
Maybe you haven't created a monster Scott/Dave.
Can you just imagine a pair of these in piano gloss black, granite finish, or birds eye maple in a New York loft apartment paired with Charles Eames recliners Layze boy chairs etc.

Just add Gwen Stefani hitting the minibar and the picture would be complete.
Point taken Steve -in the right setting, that would look pretty spectacular. Industrial meets art-deco.

Wilson Audio (not that I'm knocking WA per se), eat your hearts out. Big enclosures. Nice render Dave.
Smaller than the BIBs GM & I have done for some of the big Eminence FR / WR units though. Everything's relative after all... 😉

That's not hardcore mate. You should see a couple of the evil plans I've got in mind at the moment. Not something I can build myself though sadly -no time, money or room.
😀 Thinking about your daylight job and your fondness for armoured criusers I get a scary feeling...
Yeah, I had all this free time planned to build some funky stuff, but then I got some work that will take me away from home for a few months.
Going to Australia to visit my folks in August, going to do a father son thing and build him (my father) something good!
Metronomes or BIB's look just the ticket! I want them to blow his old Bose thingy's into the weeds. Shouldn't be hard I know....
I wonder what these Metronomes would sound like in a surround system?

Dave's got the plots for two of the 'milder' LF designs. I'm currently looking at multiple 15in woofers, run bipole, in a hybrid TL, per channel.
