Maybe thoose guys are NBA players?
Phone cameras often distort the picture, so things to the sides looks bigger than they are.
I always try to get in the middle of phone camera pics, it suits my body size better!
It does seem small in that photo. I guess the 2216Nd-1 has a smaller enclosure volume requirement, I don't know the volume of the 4367 yet and didn't do any math, so it is just a guess.
Sized similar to the 4338 so !!!
Back of the napkin says 8 ft box based only on external dimensions. I have no idea of panel thicknesses or driver displacement. 4430 (by the same fuzzy math) is 7.3 external which I think we know comes to around 5 ft once all is said and done. Interestingly the 4367 weighs about 8 lbs more than the 4430 even with that neodymium and smaller comp driver. Maybe the panels are thick?
Warren,
Less stored energy = better waterfall plot hopefully through better braced cabinet, less horn vibration and more linear drivers etc.
Should not be that hard to do compared to the 35 year old 4430.
Yes. It was his final project before being fired (Harman is stating that he retired which is patently false). I couldn't help but notice that Sean Olive posted a link to a new Engineering intern position a day before Greg's "official retirement date". That position has already been filled.
It is a Harman Luxury product and therefore REALLY tough to get. They have zero interest in running "extras" of any transducers or other parts like horns and selling them ala carte, hence no upgrades from the DD66000 to DD67000 for example.
In any case, I think you are quite good with what you have. I think going forward we are going to see a "cost reduction" trend wherein Harman tries to squeeze the best possible performance out of lower cost components rather than building top shelf components like the 476 or 1500 that have inherently superlative performance.
Interesting, thanks.
Do you know if 1200fe is "luxury", or possible to buy?
Sometimes, I have unhealthy thoughts at night... To build something DIY looking a little bit like the Timber Arrays, with M2/D2 (not R2/D2), 1200fe and 2269h. Separate box for each transducer, as small as possible, just placed on each other.
They are from Luxury and have been unobtainable for years. It took me a year and a half to get a replacement for a broken one and that was several years ago.
The 4-inch voice coiled 2206H is arguably the better bet. The extra 3 to 4 dB efficiency is nice.
what about the light pro neo diff-drive 12" 2262h and 15" 2265h, how do they stand compared to the 2206h respectiveley 2216nd?
light is good for me, maybe want to wall-hang in a future HT.
There is something to be said for the light weight transducers. :)
