pure audio projects have new woofs ; based on the Eminence alpha but thicker steel frame etc. Specs look good & the price to!! Sphynx are reel budget aprox. 39 euro's. each.
But I had them laying around. Not bad.

you're still at your 0 level for 30Hz, don't think you can go much lower than that with OB's.
and what happens after 10Khz?

Hello Head 1962,
Measurements are on listening position. Off axis DX3 !!
BTW ; I'm 63 years old I do not hear it anyway!
Never listen to the DX3 on axis ; several peaks .
But there is a lot of energy in the highs , good imaging etc. This is , for me , the first time I really enjoy the DX3.

I think they're really nice.
I build big ones with 4 ElectroVoice SP15B's and a fostex tweeter. love them.
now I listen to Saba greencones in open baffles, very precise

If I have a chance I'll listen to the saba's one time ; heard good things about them.
Last day I had the possibility to try different drivers : the AER mk1.
Took some minor adjustments in my ZEN x-over.
drop-in-replacement.
For those interested : The DX3 needs a contour in the schematic ; The AER not.
Efficienty of both is about the same (AER claims to be louder).
The AER is smoother perhaps a bit more allround.
DX3 bit more attack ; like a dynamic electrostatic.

Leonidas, with that positioning you will not get dipole operation and the spaciousness that it has to offer. Can you move them at least 60cm closer to you when listening?
@ Juhazi ; I'll have to re-arrange the room!! To much work ; little less reflections but stil sounding great.
I have tried another room but there was little difference.

Looks like a fun project Leon. Your amps look heavy (a few pics back) and it's funny to see them on the top shelf.
Hi Jeff , nice 2 meet l it's been a while!
I have been posting on several other forums.
But it was nice 2 share this concept.
In the pic; what U see is actually 2 complete sets.
The large towers are active driven.
2x eton 11 inch , 2 x 17cm kevlar midrange & dual magnet Ti tweet.
AR ls1 pre ; dbx driverack pa , Vincent sav p200.
the last being 6x200 watts.
It's about 42 kilo's but I biased in about 5 watt class A ; so has 2 be on top!!
The other amp is a Jungsson 32 kilo's also class A so......
At least U will not run it over!!
The BIG Green OB's are a wednesday afternoon project.
just came 2 my mind.
Wanted 2 go passieve again.
They sound awesome !!
I do a lotta projects with high school kids in the Netherlands.
They can design & build their own speakers at my place.
I learned more about x-overs the last 4 years then in 40 years before.
So the DX3 with 2 woofs is passieve with , what I call , a ZEN x-over ; less is more!!
Do hope U 're doing OK??
Leon.

Those look great Mike, I remember sometime ago you talked about going horns, you kept your old speakers didn't you?

This speaker by Gerrit Boers certainly deserves a notion in this thread!

My latest build being measured in Princeton 3D3A anaechoic chamber.
Really miss listening to them..! I had to redeploy my econowave to get a taste of that laser-like imaging.
