well 'by me' actually... ;)
i have accumulated most drivers necessary for an "Augspurger" type of monitor...
2 pair TAD 1601As
pair of 2440, various horns to use
350 Hz Edgar or
medium sized 2" McCauley lens horns (20" i think)
or i could go down to 1" and used a pair of Fostex H425s I have...
(my understanding is that the 2" drivers will have less distortion,
all things being equal :blink: did i just say that? )
pair of ring radiators
thoughts on using a 10" or 12" in the middle, a'la 4350/5?
i bet it's likely a dramatic improvement...
i plan on using active crossovers, at least at first...
and if I am happy with that, why change, right?
can i pretty much use the dimensions of 4350/4355,
as a 'good' guide to follow, size/bracing wise?
Is it worthwhile to do add the complexity of woofers toed/folded in?
(and i suppose that would limit me to certainly excluding the 10" or 12")
as discussed here...
http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=12506
any thoughts? pointers?
the initial thinking on my part is to build out of mdf, and skin with high quality ply, then veneer or paint (likely paint)...
thanks for any pointers/input...
off to do some related reading....
