Inspired by Jon Marsh's amazing Isiris speaker, I was wondering whether to try a dipole speaker for a change.
I already have the Seas 27TBFC tweeters and the Dayton RS125 woofers. I was thinking about doing a superb minispeaker, but the dipole thing has me wondering.
Considering maximum SPL is not my goal, that I'll be using about 100W of power, and that the room I'll be using them in is relatively small,
1) Would a completely passive solution make any sense, or do I really need to go active on the woofer side?
2) How is bass cancellation handled? I guess this is part of question #1. If I need to go all active on every channel, I won't be able to continue with the project... according to what I've seen on Linkwitz's site, he does everything using active EQ.
3) Would a Dayton RS270 per side be enough? What about the new Tang Band slim 10" subwoofer? (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=264-862)
4) Would I be better off with just the Dayton RS270 and the Seas tweeter, and forget about the RS125 for now?
4) Is a dipole far too complex for a relative (2 years experience) noob?
Thanks for any help!
