Greetings, Friends,
RDG's neat result in making a nice dual woofer center channel has got me thinking....
When undertaking such things, isn't it best to stick with similar driver types, IE: cones with cones, and horns with horns, etc.? I have been thinking about cobbling together a center speaker for our L300's, and after seeing RDG's great results, remembered that I have a pair of 116H-3's, in new condition, plus a single 052Ti, also in new condition, which could be used in such a project. Add to that a single, good condition 5" 104H-3, and hey, this might just work! I even have a single 4312A enclosure that might work for making something similar to what RDG did. BUT....
I am skeptical whether such a center speaker would do any good, at all, when combined with our L300's. I could use our 4411's for rear speakers, or the 4333's, when they are finished. But, I thinking that the combo of horn systems, with the cone system of such a center speaker, would not work well together. Am I right? I'm thinking that, if nothing else, the difference in efficiencies would make the center unable to keep up with the other goodies. BUT...
If I used that dual-8" 3-way center speaker, with the 4411's, I think it might work better. But....
I don't want to use the 4411's instead of the L300's.
So, what are your thoughts on all this stuff, Friends? Thanks, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc
P.S. A tip O' the old hat to RDG for his good idea, and for his neat execution of same!
