DIY Open Baffle and Horn Speakers with Supravox Drivers

[@mediascapes2011]

the QTS of the Supravox is technically too low for open baffle, how is the decay, how does the piano sound?

[@AALavdas]

What I would like to see - but never see- in such systems, is how they cope with complex material. I mean a 100 people symphony orchestra. Impressive setup, anyway!

[@vikassm]

If done properly, they handle complex music just as well as any other type of 'enclosure'. In fact, OB speakers are significantly less likely to create standing waves or excite room modes, even in untreated rooms.

Thanks!

[@edSuwanDiyAudiophile]

Great OB 👍. The closer the horn distance of course make be better.

[@ayildiray]

Thanks! I will try your suggestion. 👍

[@batranulval1]

Those sound fantastic great job !!!!

[@ayildiray]

Thanks a lot of 🙏

Hi Ali! Great system you got, love the colorful sound. I will be building my own Speakers and i think Supravox is a great contender. It will be Field Coils, that's the original one and still permanent magnets cant hold a dime to them. Have you ever built or heard supravox Exc in a setup with non open baffles? Kind regards/ Gabriel

[@ayildiray]

@gabrielnilsson5398 Hi Gabriel! Sorry for late response because don’t work notifications on yt studio sometime . I don’t try to 400exc in box. I read some problems in olken and other boxes on sweeden forums . You try non exc drivers also 285 gmf. Again sorry Gabel!

[@gabrielnilsson5398]

@@ayildiray Thank you for the reply!

[@cristianionascu]

nice set-up, what do you prefer in your room, OB or the Voigt pipe?

[@ayildiray]

Thanks! OB sound big and detailed. Metronome project is nice bass but some need tweetter for micro details.

[@cristianionascu]

@@ayildiray Thanks.

[@clearbrain]

Isn't the bass lacking? And so the upper range is nasal and honky

[@baraccuda6183]

Sounds great. Exactly my taste! Which tweeter is installed? What does the crossover look like? Can you show the crossover-diagram?

[@ayildiray]

Thanks! Horn Tweeters are my old Zingali parts. Crossover is first order : 400hz and 2300hz.

[@marioburger67]

Open baffle is open baffle ❤️

[@ayildiray]

Thanks!

[@anandaji4075]

~is there any relation between open baffle and open woman?

[@ayildiray]

😂😁

[@gianninastasi6572]

good evening I would like to know the make and model of the tweeter. thank you

[@ayildiray]

It’s Zingali Speakers tweeter. 👍👋

[@stevenphillips1311]

It’s also down to crossovers not just drive units

[@alexandergourlay9501]

Song ? Those sound fantastic great job

[@gianninastasi6572]

buonasera. adoro le sue casse. ho qualcosa di simile. mi può dire com'è il suo crossover? grazie

[@gianninastasi6572]

per quello che posso sentire da you tube bellissimo suono. i tagli del crossover posso sapere a quanto sono? grazie

[@rewind9536]

Did you make a comparison to other 15" woofers? I am looking at the Faital Pro 15PR400 and Lavoce 153.0.

[@ayildiray]

No, I haven't made any comparisons.

[@rewind9536]

@@ayildiray I changed my mind and I am now considering doing a 18" that has more deep bass and only run it to about 200Hz and let a 8" or 10" take over until the horns. The 15" I have tried sound so thin to me.

[@ayildiray]

Beatiful setup my friend! Supravox bass drivers are field coil and it's working with 7 volt dc . Thanks for your comparisons! 👍👍👍

[@ignaciomenendez]

They look and sound great, did you make the aluminium structure yourself?

[@ayildiray]

Hi Ignacio! Yes I build it with solid aluminium (3x3 cm) construction. Thanks a lot of🙏

[@59osvi]

@@ayildiray Baffles size??

[@ayildiray]

@@59osvi 50x60, 40x60, 30x60 cm.

[@stanwest3529]

great sound.....what do your neighbours think ? ha ha

[@ayildiray]

They're likes music 😄

[@vikassm]

😱 Dead center is the worst possible way to mount drivers on a baffle! The peaks on that thing must be horrendous!

[@gee3883]

Whats the best placement then ??

[@bigredracingdog466]

PureAudioProject places their drivers in the middle of the baffles too. They seem to know what they're doing. Read their reviews.

[@vikassm]

@@bigredracingdog466 I know this is an unnecessarily Long comment, and I'm not being sarcastic. Long long ago in the land of blissful acoustics, there was an unspoken war. The engineers lost. Marketing won. Bang on middle placement, Among other asinine choices such as putting automotive piano gloss paint on cheap resonant MDF panels (and lipstick on pigs), is done purely for aesthetic reasons. On an acoustic device. Marketing has a hard time selling asymmetric weird looking speakers. Unless, of course, said weird speakers were designed by an eccentric reclusive designer. You can measure diffraction at home with a basic mic and a decent soundcard! In case you don't trust your own measurements, or prefer a professional opinion, read any book on acoustics or speaker building. I mean any book, none of them contradict each other. Some books talk more or less about certain topics. But they never contradict on the fundamentals. Center placement is bad for tweeters. Narrow, long baffles are bad for acoustics. Thin rectangular boxes are horrible for acoustics. What do most speakers look like these days? Oh, well!

[@bigredracingdog466]

@@vikassm If center placement was so bad, you'd think some enterprising manufacturer would blow the entire industry out of the water with "proper" placement, whatever that is. You'd think the audio press would've taken the industry to task for the past 60 years for their inferior, "incorrect" designs. You'd think knowledgeable audiophiles would clamor for "optimal" designs, instead of spending thousands or tens of thousands on a speaker. I guess everyone is delusional.
