OGYs Bass prototype v.0.0 very first seconds sound check with public

June 9th, Friday, we had a 10th Anniversary of Closer Acoustics brand celebration with customers, friends and respected visitors. Wa managed to assemble the very first prototype in the shape I designed for OGYs Bass. It is the smallest open baffle ( H- frame) possible, provided it has to be a sort of stand. So here it its, in raw plywood, no spikes. Just the first sound check. It is always exciting to hear a new design. Will it be ok or to scrap? It was for the first time that we did it with public, so the moment was full of emotion an suspense. Sorry for the explicite language coming from he public in the background (Polish) - but the very first reaction you can record only once. No second take :) so a historical moment.
Special guest Tentogra WoWo turnatable with Kuzma 4 points tonearm and Kuzma CAR - 50 cartridge. Stockfish records Direct to Metal Disc. Our Flō Phonostage and top of the line 300B Provocateur Signature Adam Sztaba amplifier.
We keep working on this Bass speaker, so stay tuned.

Nice to see the idea developed and look forward to hearing more. Is it just a single inductor for x-over?

[@closeracoustics6154]

Yes. Just one! No resistors. Still work to do. But very promissing 😃

A jakże! Tentogra! 😃

Open Baffle subwoofer? Good idea.

[@closeracoustics6154]

It blends with OGYs perfectly. Only this kind of woofer offers speed to match OGY😀

[@dominicvalois]

Is this something we could buy as a DIY kit eventually? Superb work!

[@closeracoustics6154]

That is the question!!!! First of all OGYs Bass is an extension to the OGY Bookshelf speaker. This one cannot be bought as DIY :) as to the Bass, maybe we could consider a version for self assembly as it would be much easier to ship, but in this case it would be most probably only the simplest finish. Would you be interested in KIT? I am still working on this...

[@chelillingworth9466]

What do you estimate the efficiency of a setup like this would be?

[@closeracoustics6154]

Should be around 91. The woofer itself is 94dB

[@chelillingworth9466]

What is the name of the track that are you playing?
