is this the best combination?
Deep bass, and full extension highs?
i saw this in a japanese website
nice pictures of solid wood alpairs also

some super tweeter with solid wood enclosure

try to decipher using google translate, no luck , cant even understand half of it

I'd try to get the drivers closer together.

i agree, there's a tendency for diy to make the cabinets from solid wood
Do u think this is the best combination, dave?
even the curve ones, the stacked planks and cut to curve and routed curve inside , that's alots of material waste.

And i don't think it uses the material in its best direction.

Given the Alpair 5 operates well into the lower midrange, you probably won't need to get the drivers much closer than shown in the photo. My Jordan 2"/bass combination crossed at 500Hz and was about that distance apart. Sounded fine. The Alpairs will probably crossover lower. Besides, they need to be in their own separate enclosure (I assume, if like the Jordans) so you have to leave room for that.
I'd question the need for a supertweeter with them. The Jordan JXR6, which is similar, operates up to 30kHz.

You we'll know one of the things i will try....we may have one that is a surprise -- at least for the CHR 70.

great combo... I understood from some forum and magazines that at least a few German designers are also working on a design with the Alpair5 and Alpair10bass_henry_ said:is this the best combination?

would look a lot poorer, this appears to be golden ratio... and like Colin said, when crossed low enough probably not needed.planet10 said:I'd try to get the drivers closer together.
The sketch below is for our as-built Tysen with FF85 and sealed SDX7. The 1st concept had Jordan J6T/Alpair 5 ... i'm using the sketch to illustrate a possible approah to the double TL.
The aperiodic TL on the top is a straight-forward high ratio aperiodic TL -- if needed it could be rotated so that the botton was parallel to the ground and the top was sloped down towards the back.
What is a holey brace in the sealed box could easily be a TL partition. With Alpair 10, putting the driver on the front is probably a good idea. Further, to take advantage of optimum driver offset, i'd add an additional partition so that the back part of the line can be extended to have the terminus on the front/bottom. This should rotate the line sufficiently that the A10 will be near the bottom of the A5 TL.
