Hello Xerxes,
I use the coax out of the RM765, named 16x01R with the original crossover and two Chassis named 300F05 for one baffle. The 300F05 are housed in an 200mm deep U Frame, goind down to 50Hz till they drop down with 6dB/Octave. The surprise for me is how dry the bass comes over, without room resonace. The next step is the fine tuning using a DSP.

Thanks Dieter,
I did not know these drivers so I had to look them up. They look like nice drivers without breaking the bank...

The 300F05 can be found on Ebay Germany. I payd 70€ for four Chassis. The Coax are from Ebay USA. They cost 65$ a pair. It has a nice paper cone with a foil High-tone-horn in the center...
The ongoing saga of my new open baffle woofer arrays plus diy planar magnetic towers has been moved to the planar and exotics forum. I thought I'd toss a photo in this thread as well since I drew so much inspiration from the projects that others have posted here.

Looks nice. If they were not so huge you would have had great WAF. Why did you opt for planar magnetic and not electrostatic?
Happy New Year 2017
Keep posting your inspiring work. I helped me, and I am sure there are many of you there looking for a right solution for your taste.
I wish you all a lot of happyness and beautifull and good sounds!!
This is my solution from my humble appartment in Split, Croatia. Any of you traveling, passing by, you are all wellcome for a listening sesion!

Rewind: I made ESLs for my previous project. I got tired of their humidity dependent performance (something I could have fixed in another design, no doubt). I also wanted something that I could make narrower, and that therefore required a bit more excursion. Of course in the end, I mostly wanted to see if I could make a decent planar magnetic speaker.
Fortunately I only have one wife and these speakers have sufficient acceptance factor for her!

First try on OB...
Hi all.....
As a fullrange user and partly builder of audio systems I have been interested in OB-builds for some time, and took the chance 1 month ago to get me some Betsy 8 inch drivers to try out.
And the result is amazing - clear and enveloping sound that is more musical than my BR Alpair12P. The Alpairs is more HiFi with a clever, distinct lightning sound. But the Betsy is more easy and good to my musical ears(mind). They both give a 3D organic sound.
My Audio SetUp is: Sony SaCd player - A homemade Metrum Transient DAC - A homemade Luminaria (SIT classA) preAmp - Mono LÀmp (Resistorversion with SIT transistor).
Now I maybe have to find some OB woofer? to get more punch in the lower reals. Maybe - but not realy needed. Time, work and health must decide....
Happy new year to all!!

Thnx
Thank you Poultrygeist. Even we oldtimers (60+) must keep on the alert and enjoy music on good equipment!😎
And like Neil young once said: Rust Never Sleeps

my hearing is good...
Yes silversprout.
Enjoying music is one of the few things in life that has no drawbacks - and still past 60 I can hear 15000 Hz. And that is a privilege after 2 cancer attacks with operations and hard treatment. Today I am healthy and relatively OK. And some building of audio/speakers and keeping a interest in the music-scene (Americana,Folk) is very much vital for me.😉

And yes I'm one of those old-timers but senior sounds better. Building speakers has become a passion but compared to so many on this forum I'm just a novice. There's no comparison between building something that sounds good vs buying something that sounds good.
But maybe my rust should take a nap. 🙂
Perfect builds....
Yea Poltrygeist.
I still have a long way to go - comparing to your nice builds😱 But then I can get some advice on which woofer, plateamp and dsp/crossover to use. When i am back in full job - and the money is better and easier to use on projects....

Custom internal monitors a fascinating job for me 😉
And it is a rare moment of life that make me forget everything else and it is also very useful when you needs it.
