After doing a little test with a baffle and some spare drivers, I am keen enough on the possibilities of dipole speakers along the lines of the Arvo Part, Linkwitz Orion, Phoenic or even the Audio Artistry Beethoven.
The question is which one.
I have the SEAS Millemium tweeters, four SEAS 8 inch woofers and I just picked up four Focal 10 inch aluminium woofers very cheap on eBay. I'm still tosiing up between Adire DPL12s and Stryke AVs for the subs.
Since I have the drivers, my initial though was to go all out and do a Beethoven type four way, using a digital crossover/EQ, which I also have.
But I've been looking also at the Part and the Orion and thinking maybe the Beethoven is overkill.
Both the Part and the Orion have the sides to extend the baffle width, but I was wondering what you guys think of your design choices now that you have had a chance to check out the Orion?
In particular, SL has gone away from the MTM mid combo to just one 8 inch, and he is using a separate H frame construction for the woofers.
All thoughts welcome.
I have an EBS Shiva for HT style deep bass, should it be needed.
Sorry to start another dipole thread, but at least this one isn't an array type situation.
