    Got a spare $17K?

    These speakers seem similar to what some of you guys are doing. It seems you've saved yourself $17K.

    Saw that link a few days ago on the DIY loudspeakers list.

    Quote from the mfgr's website

    Gilmore audio speakers are planar designs. All drivers are mounted in the same plane....
    ROTFLMAO..........

    And flat piston dynamic woofers are NOT planar drivers by any stretch of the imagination.

    Yeap, that's how everyone describes CORIAN.

      Well, that center channel at he bottom of the page had nice cones. :LOL:

      For those to slow to understand what I mean, there's a girl in the bottom picture or two. :td:

      Hmm, maybe I'd sell more cables if I put on my hawaian shirt and flip flops. hehe. Forget that, the chick would sell cables.

        Who would buy a set of speakers from a guy with a shirt like that?

        Man, if I looked like that guy, the LAST thing I'd do is put my mug on the Internet!! :E

        But hey, the cheesecak isn't bad, even if it is a digital insertion- I'm pretty sure she's never stood anywhere near those speakers! :boobies:

        When I first looked at this page, I thought it was a joke page of some kind, but may be in his part of Montanna this is high tech Marketing.

        Well, I shouldn't be so harsh, but there's a certain standard that I think we all hold for those claiming to be the ultra de ultra, which when not realized in the marcom aspects, raises questions about the level of knowledge in other area's.

        Personally, I'd use phenolic sheet over Corian for a large dipole panel, though relatively inert, Corian is NOT strong or rigid, as such materials go. And the panel outline is plane ugly.... excuse the pun... :nono:

        Well, I wish him the best, and I'll be anxiously awaiting the 2004 CES! :#

            You have to give him credit though for his stand up efforts with the centre channel...those are some nice woofers and the stand isn't half bad either :twisted:

              I agree. The use of the dolly bird, the Hawaiian shirt guy and the overboard claims make the speakers seem cheap.

              I'm also a little suspicious of the 127dB claim from dipole woofers.

                Well, when I read the first post and went to the site, I was ready to be the wise guy, but you guys beat me to every point except one.
                I WAS going to say those are NOT planar woofers, the're good ole piston cone woofs. 127 db??!! I don't know 'bout that, AND, I've never been to a concert that had 127 dB levels or 120 DB or...(real music of course, not metal-head rock).

                Okay, here's MY unique comment: "$17,000??!! What a HUGE profit margin! Then I scrolled down and saw the model in the middle and DO understand the price if it includes HER!!"

                never mind

                  Just a "little suspicious"?

                  Actually, judging by the surrounds used, and the likely cone travel of these TC sounds drivers, I'd expect an Xmax no more than 13-14 mm. In the midbass and lower midrange, ~122 dB should be doable, but that will be pushing things modearately hard. 17 Hz is going to be a relative "whisper"; think in terms of what one equivalent 12" or 10" in a sealed box will do, and that's about what a dipole rig like this will muster. About 90 db?

                  But yeah, I'm just an ordinary guy, and like Andrew, I think the center channel system is interesting, though the woofers are mounted pretty high... (I'm going to get banned for that kind of comment by any of the ladies on the forum). :LOL: :LOL:

                  He certainly doesn't exude that "Mark Levinson" Charisma, and if you're going to con the folks, you need something like that...

                    Okay, I gotta say it: I continually see new, unheard of speakers with outlandish prices from unknown people. How do they sell those overpriced speakers? Are there enough wealthy people with no understanding of materials costs who also don't do lots of auditioning before writing out the big checks?

                    What really bothered me about that site wasn't the guys' shirt, it was his flip-flops, or nuveau ex-hippie sandals. They made a statement: "Take everything printed on this site with a grain of salt".

                    Damn, I had to go back and look at that babe. :boobies: :banana: I wonder if the $17,000 includes the black dress, or would I have to take her shopping upon arrival?

                      Well guys, I'm even suspicious about the center channel. Actually, being somewhat of a connoisseur of such things, and with a little help from a woman who once explained what to look for, I'm quite certain. So the question for all you students of Archimedes - is there more polymer in the main channels' baffles or the center channel's "headlights?"

                        I tried to use SL's spreadsheet to work out how many 12 inch drivers you would need in a dipole to reach 127dB in the 20s. Even giving the drivers a highly debatable 30mm Xmax, I stopped adding up when I reached 48 and still had a couple of dB to go.

                        I don't mean to pick on this guy's speakers, but he has his dealers spreading these claims all over the web so they are fair game, IMHO.

                          Steve, you are quite correct! Deservedly fair game.

                          As long as we're getting technical, keep in mind that even though you might consider those center channel cones as unnaturally large, the stiffness of said polymer will reduce "cone sag" if mounted horizontally. Young's modulus, you know.:righton:

                                I can't design speakers worth a crap, but when it comes to babe identification I'm an expert! But it helped that Ms. Oneil was mentioned by name on the Atma-Sphere forum. Grin.

                                  Here's how they describe the mystery woofers:

                                  "Second, and somewhat related is the skepticism concerning the ability of our woofers to move sufficient air to accomplish authoritative bass. Cone excursion of drivers on some of the sites referred to are as little as 6mm. We are able to attain big excursions, cleanly -- plus or minus 2 inches! So our four woofers move a lot of air. To do this, "you can't use no ordinary woofer", as my grandmother would say. Not surprisingly, we haven't. It is a very unique, proprietary planar driver with a surround that allows it to function much like a dynamic speaker -- on steroids. The magnets and supporting structure are very robust. As a result, we have a woofer that is very responsive (it moves fast) while remaining very compliant (it tracks the wave form very nicely). It has a very high QTS. The four drivers share the load so they "run cool". Even reasonably high spl levels can be maintained without loss of performance. We think you'll like what we have done, unless your the jealous type."

                                    When I first saw these, my initial thought was, "Gee, those look like HiVi M12 drivers!"

                                    Of course, they're not, from the baskets, they're some variety of TC-Sounds.. but they're not plus and minus 2" excursion drivers! The diameter of the surround half roll is relatively wimpy... it's about like the M12's, which are 7mm Xmax, which is pretty decent for a 12 that goes up to about 2 kHz, with 93.5 dB sensitivity at 2.83V RMS!





                                    Now, on the otherhand, look at one of my Blueprint BPD1203's, which were built by TC Sounds... they have a 1" Xmax, and the surround half roll looks like it!




                                    Any questions? No?

                                    Class dismissed. Except for Ms. Oneil, you're in detention for appearing in a low rent Audio web site. :naughty:

                                      I really like this one from Glacier Audio:

                                      We have chosen not to sell competing components. We have instead made judgments about what we believe are the "best of class" components, which in turn defines "best of class" systems. In this way, we can describe our mission as producing elegant systems for audiophiles (best of class systems), using best of class components.
                                      So what you do is make an appointment for your "private audition" and you get to come listen to one (and only one) system in your price range. They don't want to confuse you with any silly A/B comparisons with any 'inferior' products. "Here it is. Doesn't that sound great?" :assimilate:

                                        Yessir, planar woofers they obviously are. Mount woofers in the same plane on a piece of plastic and Wah-lah! - planar woofs.

                                          I am really trying not to be an asshole, and I justify this question by stating that I am dumb and maybe haven't learnt what I thought I have learnt.

                                          However, one of the claims is that the speakers are phase coherent because the ribbon and the front of the drivers are on the same plane.

                                          This seems to me to be a) untrue and b) untrue.

                                            Where Hank comes from they like to open up a can of whup @ss; but you, Steve, are very good at opening cans of worms for discussion!

                                            That's a compliment, BTW!


                                            I understand that their have a "special" cone configuration with a planar front. Like some of the old KEF drivers, for example. That doesn't necessarily make the drivers (ribbon/planar driver and woofers) time aligned when mounted on the same baffle- but they might be modeartely close.

                                            Now, one man's definition of phase coherent can be quite different from another woman's definition (dang it, Ms. Oneil, quit distracting me!)

                                            In the 70's I used to experiment with and build speakers that were bonafide "phase coherent", as JohnK would describe- the drivers were acoustically aligned for time origin, and they used 1st order networks (including at times fairly complex impedance zobels) and they would pass a 1 kHz or 500 Hz square wave or similar pulse waves with high fidelity on axis. That's a minimum phase, phase coherent speaker.

                                            Then, there's mounting the drivers for aligned acoustic origin so that a conventional crossover such as a 3rd order Butterworth or 4th order L-R sums correctly without messing around with some additional phase shift in the network to compensate for time mis-alignment. That might be considered phase coherent through the crossover, but it won't pass impluse waveforms with high fidelity.

                                            And overall, it's not a phase coherent loudspeaker, because that term means to me that the speaker has pretty much constant phase until you hit the extremes (low and high) of it's range, where the inevitable phase shift must occur as you approach the roll-off points.

                                            Now, I don't want to get in a discussion here in this thread about whether one is better than the other; there are a lot of trade-offs involved, and most speakers I've done in the last ten years are continuous in phase through the crossover, but not phase coherent. There are real problems to address with doing phase coherent crossovers with 1st order slopes, including driver distortion, and non-uniform power response into the room (1st order networks are nice on axis, but have a huge off axis lobe that skews the power response). To create a minium phase speaker with the same dynamics, distortion, and response range as the M8 using low order minimum phase networks would require a 4 way system- the cost and size is substantially greater, and the fidelity in some rooms would be poorer.

                                            Life's about tradeoffs. If you want perfection, buy some Soundlab Electrostats!

                                              The thing looks like a clone candidate to me.......even before the real thing hits the market! Or maybe that would add unwarranted respect to their design?

                                              Jon/Thomas,

                                              What would you estimate for cost on something like that, and would it be worth doing?

                                                This seems to me to be a) untrue and b) untrue.
                                                I choose c) the Clinton answer: Depends on how you define 'coherent'
                                                Then, there's mounting the drivers for aligned acoustic origin so that a conventional crossover such as a 3rd order Butterworth or 4th order L-R sums correctly without messing around with some additional phase shift in the network to compensate for time mis-alignment
                                                Remember the big success of the Spica speakers with the physical alignment of acoustic centers? They were very successful.

                                                Davey, that thing is what we've (mainly Jon & Thomsas) have been discussing for months - a B-G mid/tweet ribbon and a line of mid-woofs. The discussion has gone back and forth between monopole and dipole implementation, but other than that, it's been the goal. Jon has actually acquired a pair of RD-50's. It should be a fun project. I think the speakers with the great-looking CC on this thread could better be labled as clones rather than originals.

                                                Hey, where's my compliment? whup-@ss has its place. :P

                                                  Closest thing to his planar that is available to the general public is the B&G RD50

                                                  Don't know about his XO or use of flat piston 12" drivers. He must be using a relatively low XO point, not a good thing IMO.

                                                  If the Hi-Vi M-12's are ever available to the DIY market, they would be an excellent match for the B&G planars. Currently the best available match is probably a stack of the Hi-Vi M8a.

                                                  For the baffle there are a number of better options than Corian (it's not rigid). The best (and most seriously expensive) would a sheet phenolic plastic. (If it's good enough for David Wilson it's good enough for me) :B

                                                    Corian (it's not rigid)
                                                    He has a square steel tube running up the backside so the baffle material probably doesn't matter all that much.

                                                      He has a square steel tube running up the backside
                                                      It's not visible in the rear view pics on the website.

                                                        Ah, you're right Thomas. I hadn't seen that rear view before. I think I was looking at a side view, maybe this one.



                                                        That must be the ribbon frame in the pic (which I suppose could stiffen the baffle in its own right).

                                                          Yes, Davey, ThomasW described it right, I'd sue the guy for concept infringement, except that his kitchen counter top speakers are so ugly I'd be embarrassed to link any kind of four M12 and RD50 on a side concoction I could come up with with the Gilmore Audio model. :E

                                                          Man, I think that's the nastiest thing I've ever said in an Internet post- what is happening to me?!? :roll: Well, I guess as the net goes, it's not really very nasty, though...

                                                          Still, I think the M12 would be cool in this application, but it would have to be crossed over to some other sub by around 60-75 Hz, I think, depending on the SPL you want. And I'm giving a ton of thought to baby ribbons or the new HiVi planar tweeters to cross over from the RD50 at about 6 kHz.

                                                            Jon, thanks for that unsolicited :roll: compliment.

                                                            Actually, I LIKE the G.A. "model". That's a nice photo of the LCR rear :twisted:

                                                              Yeah, we were talking about this the other day, and ThomasW thinks my continual 7 day a week gig is pushing me to the brink of "Going Infineon"...

                                                              That's like "going Postal", but more technical... using bigger words, instead of just monosyllabic screams....
