Your next Mav show speaker?

There is a crossover reference somewhere in that.

Sato’s are nice but getting them to meet neatly and in time with the LF is the challenge (in the analog arena)
Quite like the LF arrangement here

Oooo I do like that, would match well visually with my ongoing MEH project.

From a bit of googling it would appear to be this:

Yeah sato are nice and did consider the w onken. Like this. Would need another pair of 416 drivers though. Anybody have any lying around? :joy: then ideally you’d play the 288 lower but don’t think it’s that comfortable crossing that low and you’ve seen the difficulty in sourcing diaphragms.

Like mentioned though time alignment is tricky. I think it was the reason of the development of the shearer horn over the earlier western electric designs. I would love to have one of the big big rooms and build some shearer horns for it

Too deep for the intended location/purpose. I’m hoping to swing it as a tv stand :laughing: and the above is very similar to the size of our current stand
