Well, I'm still looking for some decent sound in my home office. Since my desk is up against the wall, I'm either stuck with a) computer speakers, b) headphones, or c) smaller wall-mounted monitors.
Forget a), I'm using b) now, but it's not an all day solution, and for c) I've bought some PE drivers for a Modula MT but haven't seen a design for a bookshelf/wall-mounted version.
Since I've always liked the sound of planar speakers, I decided to buy the wall-mountable Magnepans (they're only $300/pr). Catch is, they only go down to 100hz, so a sub is almost a must.
Do you know of any designs for a smaller (ideally 12" cube, max 18" cube), "musical" sub that will go up to 100hz or more to complement the Maggies?
Alternatively, I have an older 8" M&K VX-7 sub, kind of looks like the one shown here:
Mine still has the foam (rubber?) surround, but it's almost completely detached from the inner part (clothes?) of the driver, like the glue failed. Is this something that can be re-glued (super glue?), or do I need to replace the entire driver? Would I be better off to replace the driver with a better one anyway, and if so, how would I know what type (impedance, single/dual vc, etc) to replace it with (any good suggestions)?
Thx,
Frank
