The builder of my speakers, Louis at Omega, also builds cabinets for Fostex drivers but is veering away from them preferring the B200 and some new hemp cone drivers being custom made for him. The A8 is in an aperiodic alignment.
Aperiodic Enclosure - an otherwise sealed enclosure design, but with a vent that is stuffed with damping material, which flattens out the impedance curve of the design. The area of this resistive vent should be about 10 sq. in. per cubic ft. of enclosure volume. This design might take some experimentation with the vent stuffing, testing the impedance curve several times with different amounts of damping material until the flattest impedance curve is found. The aperiodic resistive vent damps the driver in much the same way as fully stuffing a sealed enclosure with damping material (100% fill). In addition damping treatment is done to the spider and the enclose is a triple constrained layer construction, 3 different kinds of fill. 10 year warranty. 30 day audition period. If you're anywhere near CT you should take a listen. -- konut ------------------------------------------------------------------------ konut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1596 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19832 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
