I've been thinking - again - about open baffle loudspeaker designs.
I've got tons (maybe even tonnes) of extended range drivers (even some coaxes) with open-baffle friendly T-S parameters. I don't at the moment, however, have any open baffles.
Despite that minor logistical complication ;-) I was thinking it might make for a fun afternoon to take a pair of OBs and swap in numerous different drivers for a comparative tasting.
The ideal OB candidates, as far as I am concerned, are the venerable "JE Labs" OB design: http://jelabsarch.blogspot.com/2012/06/open-baffle.html
If someone has a pair, so much the better! Otherwise, even a wood butcher such as I ought to be able to whup up a pair...
So, at any rate, I was thinking of an open-baffle fest sometime after the New Year's.
I can provide (off the top of my head):
R/S 40-1271
R/S 40-1272
R/S 40-1286
Goldwood 8" twincones
LRE SK98 (Pioneer OEM) 'biflex'
Altec (ummm...) 408 or is it 409 coax
EV SP8C
EV LS8
EV LS12
EV LT12 coax
EV SP12B
EV SP12 (only one really good one)
EV 12TRXB coax
EV TRX12B
EV TRX15B
Altec 15" Biflex (don't ask me which model...)
Plus, by all means, BYOD -- Bring your own driver(s)
Single-ended 2A3 amplification and ability to play most any source.
We're in the Connecticut River "Upper Valley" on the west side of New Hampshire. Winter weather is a bit of a crapshoot here ;-)
Anyone potentially interested?
Post here or send me a PM.
Thanks for looking!
