Beautiful loudspeaker, design reminds me of Soundcrafts Spirit 2 (oldie but goldie). I have those Bass speakers myself, may I suggest that you make a mounting ring to time allign it better to the tweeter? / No, I am NOT talking about the sound quality because of the iPhone mic. btw :P
@mackemacchiato32387 күн бұрын
@@audiosaucer2124 good thought I could have reseeded the tweeter a bit back like on my sphere speaker build but here the physical distance I didn’t see as such a big issue and if I should move out the mid then that would create an ”edge” the tweeter would bounce on, so that is how my train of thought was! Thank you ! (The idea of the speaker was just all from my head actually)

So are there actual "sonic differences" between a spherical enclosure compared to that of a traditional "cube" or elongated "box shaped" speaker cabinet?? I would assume that the density of the concrete would definitely help, just wondering about the "shape"...
@mackemacchiato3238 Жыл бұрын
The round shape helps remove resonance and the “shell” vibrating. Egg shell principle . Strong but one can still keep it thin. A globe reduced standing waves inside and reduces unwanted noise. Mostly in higher frequencies, so the round shape is for the strength and mostly for design. Easy to furnish and to look at in a home instead of a black cube as the mainstream producers sells :) I also made one out of a hemp basket 🧺, with concrete inside.

Τ line speakers stuck in corners, in cupboards, on uneven height and one behind a sofa? Of course the spherical speakers will sound cleaner with more precise bass while the T-lines will sound boomy and diffused. But a good T-line in a room that can take the bass, will run circles around any bass reflex in bass extension and delineation of plucks, wood tones and low pitch harmonics.

I agree with you on the T lines. Built a set from a kit (parts Express Tri Trix). I felt certain, due to the bately 5" drivers that I would have to add a sub. Even though I was just using them to replace the TV speaker in my bedroom. While they certainly don't reach down into the 30's, the bass is surprisingly good and tight. This makes me wonder how 7 or 8 inch drivers would sound in a T line box.
@mackemacchiato32382 жыл бұрын
I think one needs to have it stiffer and a longer Tube to give the resistance behind the come so it sounds good as a midrange as well, if you thought like in a 2-way system? This speaker is 6,5” and goes really deep. On monacor’s webpage one have the frequency curve on every driver at 1db/1M and this driver looks great even though beeing cheap! :) I wish I had a better mic because they sound so great, beeing so simple after all. The round ones are easier to furnish, but the TL sounds better.
