Well, this time my brother has asked about speakers. He's having a house built that will have a large family room and kitchen (19 x 50) open space. He's heard my LAs and wants decent speakers. He hasn't had a stereo setup in about ten years and is itching to get his jazz collection out of storage.
Considering the size of the room....and still wanting to try the M8s.....I was thinking of Tibors MTMs. I have always liked sealed enclosures but was concerned about output. I seriously doubt he'll ever want to crank it up but ya never know . I'm also partial to floorstanders as I'd need to build stands anyway for bookshelves. Besides, the MTMs need some Vb, so I think that route is best. He will probably place them somewhere on the long wall of the fam room and may not pull them far enough out from the front wall. Should I worry about BS (if the sealed xover even has it?).
I have perused the Audioworx site and D/Led the xover schematics (thanks guys!). Supposedly PE is getting the M8ns in stock the end of the month (fingers crossed). The XT25 tweet is still available and reasonably priced.
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Pete
PS: I'm also tempted to order a dozen more for the next iteration of the LAs. With the price drop, they seem to be a very reasonable fit for handling the 500Hz and down. Or I could be nuts because the Daytons do a very nice job......but I will definitely give them a side by side comparison when I get the M8s.......but I should just order them so I'll have them before they disappear again......AARRGHH!
