Ultimate Open Baffle Gallery

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.

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.
