Just don't know where I would use them John. I now have like 4 pairs of "contest" speakers and I only use 1 pr of those! Of course, they all beat Ben, so......
Haha nice Chuck. I often wondered why participate if it's not something you have a purpose for unless it's to gift it or sell it. some of the ideas are kind of out there so it may not be your primary speakers. I guess you can always add a pair to the bathroom.
Hehe. He wont admit it of course. Jeez, i even congratulated him on a win (thinking i really had no chance) BEFORE the contest. Then won with my ribbon 2way. And his won MWAF that year.
Another time was with my Armonicos (the only contest theme i use daily). Jeff won (but emailed to congratulate me).
The widebody i did more because Mike really wanted them. They reside at his place now. We might do some more on them later.
For now, unless i find a purpose, im not going to enter. Pushing the limits of the rules can be fun and challenging but not ideal for me right now. I have many other things that are changing my life and way of thinking. Plus some other interesting prospects that require my attention.
Nothing against the contest at all. I think its great, but certain aspects need to change if it is to be relevant and kept on a non-bias level.
Well, did some quickie measurements. First a FR at 14in, then a near field woofer measurement, finally a near field port measure. Same wattage/juice fore each.
Was retesting and one AMT mini was out to lunch.......DAMN! So, I beat up the XO, then tested the AMT alone and no go. I decided to take it apart to find out the problem, since I have to order another. Then I saw a small particle of something on the membrane. Trying to remove it I realized it was attracted to the magnet. After I removed it, lo and behold, the tweet was restored!
Well, after about 6 diff xo's, the micro-bitty will come to DDIY. I found them to be one MF'er to put together. The actual usable volume is less than 2L-10lb of shit in a 5lb bag. I'm finished designing with the Designer series. Hey Bartender! make it a triple and leave the bottle!
