I like building speakers a lot, i want to make my hobby something that i can keep doing. I normally have a shoestring budget
My application will NOT be for myself, it will be to attract some rich Microsoft person with more money then sense, but I still want it to be a high value "impress even most audio snobs" quality.
My plan: I will be using minidsp to get things sounding how I like, demo it a lot, and then once I have a buyer interested try to figure out how to make passive XO's for them
---k-- said: "One of the reasons the Khans and the Big RS 3-way work, because the RS drivers are available in 4-ohm and 8-ohm versions, and the 2 RS150-8ohm in series along with 2 RS225-4ohm in parallel all works out to the same sensitivity of the tweeter and no driver padding is needed"
I was already thinking of these drivers so that caught my eye. the 270's are 8ohm only so i dont know if they would have the same synergy?
I really like the H.O.S.S. and all my projects with Dayton RS line in the past have been great. RS28 2x RS150's and Im thinking either two RS225's OR 2x RS270's
I just love the idea of two 270's on the bottom end, a ported design looks quite large and boxy, im trying to stay away from big rectangles or things that look bulky.
This is what my last project looked like with one 225 and a 28 the Catboxpanlids3000's:
They sound great with the minidsp, but Active xo's are not nearly as end user friendly. Would rs150 paper be good for cheaper crossovers once i go passive?
What's your experience with 225 v 270's ported, sealed?
If you were to make a reference speaker just to show off what you could do, how would you go about it? How would you go about it and not have it look like a coffin?
I've been looking at using paper lanterns as molds for Durhms rock hard watter putty for the mids. I have always loved the Bowers&Wilkins nautilus design
