One day Thomas phoned and asked for advice for his future Home Theatre.
He wanted a 7.2 surround system with the capability of playing high-end stereo.
Then I thought about his project for a couple af days.
The conclusion was at that time: Loudspeakers in or on the walls, a kind of line-array/D’Appolito/one point-source, good impulse response,
big membrane area of bass section, air-motion transformer driver from Mundorf, quality 6,5” midrange ScanSpeak
and of course active amplification. The subwoofer setup might be 21” EighteenSound driver in dual ported box –
of course two of these, which would be tested later on. – Or a lot of 12” driver in closed arrangement or ported.
Sometimes you have a good idea - you think - but it turns out it wasn't. This gallery is a profe of this...
Below you will see a proto type of the front speaker. We bought a lot of cheap 6,5” VIFA drivers at an exhibition –
these work as bass in closed chambers. They might stay on in the final speaker or swapped with ScanSpeak or
Audio Technology drivers. The Mundorf drivers are borrowed – will very likely stay, but Thomas wants a test run
with ScanSpeak R2904/700009. The midrange will be two ScanSpeak 18W/8531G00 in each front box and center.
