Hi all! I had a couple of things to take care of (ie, sort of another hobby, but one in which I think I'm all set for a couple of years), and I'm back!
I already have everything I need for my next project. It's nothing special, at least considering the designs in these pages. It'll be a Duelund WMTM tower.
Drivers will be the RS270, TB W4-1337s and either the Vifa D25 or the SEAS 27TAFN. I think I'll go with the SEAS, if only because I love the way they look next to the 1337s, and I'm not going to run them low.
The plan will be crossing the drivers over at 300 and ~4000 Hz, 2nd order (obviously). I want to take advantage of the very wide bandwidth of the 1337s as much as possible.
Here's the question I have, though. I don't have a clue as to how to measure the RS270s.
I know John Krutke mentioned it was a pain to get a decent measurement out of his big SB12 woofer - he said he had to do quite a couple of them, merge them, and then he decided not to use any BSC at all, taking advantage of corner loading. Quite frankly, ;x( I have no clue as to how to do it. I suppose I could place the speakers as high as I can and then take a free air, 2.5 measurement and work with no or 3 dB BSC, but that seems to be too much guesswork. I was wondering if any one of you has ever done such a measurement, and how you accomplished it.
Thanks for any help!
