Same as post #10 PBN.

Nelson Pass Kleinhorns are pretty big.

Here is a big direct radiator:

But I think Misubishi takes this one:

What will he use for the subwoofer ?

The Fane 12-250TC is a good full range driver.
I have a pair in a cabinet and they sound great.

I don't have a speaker less than 10 inches.
I have bass reflex, folded horn and sealed cabinets.

Kleinhorns are pretty big.

If Nelson calls those Kleinhorns, I wonder what the Großhorns would look like?

I'd hope for larger than this:

Sorry, I wouldn't take a pair of those if you paid me.

 

[ewollowe]

Why?

... Just wondering if there's anyone else than me that has more than 200 liters internal volume worth of speakers, per channel, in the daily use setup.

128+128+80 = a little bit over 300 liters per side. Is there anyone else that have a similar size WAW setup? Not honkin' my horn or anything, feeling a bit alone, so many small setups around, am I completely off my rocker with this setup?

 

[nigelwright7557]

I did a huge box for a Pyle 24 inch 1000WRMS driver I bought.
I cant remember how many litres it was but it was a beast to man handle to add panels to it.

 

[phivates]

Oh no you are ON your rocker

 

[gvasale]

Yes. My IB are 15.4 cuft before subtracting the displacement of the drivers. That's inside dimensions.

 

[nigelwright7557]

But after years of exploring my options, I gotta admit, the big speakers just seem to do things better.

My favourite two speakers are Fane 12-250TC and Fane 15-300TC.
Boot hare full range drivers so no messing with crossovers.

I have a pair of the 12 inchers in a sealed cabinet.
I put the 15 incher in a W bin and it sounds great.

 

[Octavia]

no replacement for displacement

Ok, thanks guys. It's not me, it's most other people
*phew*

Big speakers (As if we needed another US centric thread...)

Well we always want what is out of reach.

For us in the UK and EU, (Or outside USA) space is a premium,
And we can't have palatial sized cardboard homes like you guys.

Ah...we can but dream of space (without having to emigrate somewhere we would rather not be) or dream of a lottery win so that we too can have square metres of cone area to enjoy!

 

[KaffiMann]

I do not understand what you say about "another US centric thread".
There's not much space in my house, which is far from the US, but I managed to fit a lot of cone area into a small corner. Likewise for Wesayso and others.

It does not have to be expensive either.

Dreaming is for everyone, but sometimes it can be more motivating to dream about things within reach.
