Konnichiwa,
Playing now and sounding astonishing (after re-locating the driver to the Baffles front and messing up my nice routed out and rounded off rear mounting hole to cure a certain nasilty likely caused by my excessively thick baffles). Have a look..... Sayonara |

Konnichiwa,
For those interested in details, the Speakers use a pair of 12" 'Wideband' Drivers custom made by Eminence for Bastanis Audio and further modified by Bastanis Audio, combined with a Beyma CP-21 Slot radiator. These are on an Open Baffle for which I used Ikea Pronomen Solid Wood (butcher block type) Kitchen worktops, 124cm X 38cm 36mm thick. Crossover is a single capacitor and series resistor on the tweeter, nothing on the woofer. To go with that you get a pair of 12" subwoofer drivers and a Thomessen (Germany) Subwoofer "Plate Amp" rated at 175W/4Ohm with a very large number of adjustments (variable phase 0-270degrees, adjustable LF EQ are the more unusual ones). I put these into a slightly undersized enclosure (compared to the recommendations by Bastanis) which is in fact the silver Box under the Shanling SACD Player (the player is not in the system, just parked). I've added a small RC EQ circuit in the subwoofer inputs to EQ out the increased System Q. More on the Kit at: http://www.memphis-highend.de/memphis.html Last time I looked cost was 1,250, well worth it. Sonically this system reminds me a lot of my 15" Tannoy Monitor Reds in corner enclosures, but with in some areas SUPERIOR performance, though also some small problems whic I hope will reduce with burn in....

Looks good, really nice woodworking, I love the look of solid woods. What wood did you use?
Oh, and I completely agree that open baffles can sound outstanding... |

Congrats,
the Bastani Prometheus have always been a consideration in my OB plans. I donīt know whether you got them with an assembly instructions in english. Bastani strongly advises to let the speakers run in for approx 200 hrs before doing individual adjustments. And he asks for the FR speaker to be mounted behind the baffle. May be you should be more patient? ![]() What about the pair of Supravox 215 Signatue Bicone you recently had taken delivery of. Did you build them into their Acrylic Open Baffles? Can you compare them to the Prometheus? Any measurements already?
