A possible new venture into the Dark Side inspired by KEF Meta 3

[Evil Twin]

Loudspeaker drivers are like celebrities... small issues and errors can inspire large effects in the reputation. And cause many to overlook nascent capabilities.

This is merely a sounding board for a potential system design using something old, something new, something borrowed, and something... no, not blue, but black!

If this implies an unholy marriage of sorts, well, that may be in some ways appropriate.

Something old...

The Tang Band W6 2313...



Something new...

E180HE-PR



Something borrowed...


KEF Meta 3 Configuration inspiration





Something... black! Is back....


The "infamous" Dayton Epique E180HE-44

Black is back...

This system design will also borrow substantially from the ET CCT Supreme developed for the Chancellor. But this concept with the E810HE-44 would utilize it in an appropriate manner- below 250-300Hz, where the rise in harmonic distortion from inductivity modulation will not compromise overall performance. Dayton advertising this as an E.R.S.

an Extended Range Subwoofer (ERS). It was engineered to produce premium controlled subwoofer performance, while simultaneously achieving a smooth extended high frequency response.

This was a substantial marketing misstep in my belief, based on both 3rd party reviewers and my own testing.


However, the fundamental BL product characteristics are most attractive for a compact high performance woofer in a more restricted range, capable of surprising LF levels.



And Kms performance








Used within a more restrictive frequency range, not that of a 7" two way or conventional 3 way, superior results may well be possible...

Of course you'd choose drivers I already have!

Isn't he thoughtful?

[Evil Twin]

That is the power of the Dark Side...




Of course, I must still consult with my Master before beginning development efforts in earnest...
