General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I did a neat little experiment once.

I took some McBride $29 "Princess 8's" and put them in a Dipole config. I used DRC to EQ them and crossed them over at around 250Hz with a pair of 12.5" Focal woofer cabinets.

Now, they sounded amazing for a $20 fullrange speaker, but lifting up the high-end with EQ didn't do them justice. (I should have just let them roll off naturally - they don't have any serious breakup modes - and add a tweeter.)

In any case, it was my first experiment with "open backed" speakers, and I must say, the image they threw was quite different than my various box speakers.

I could see myself being an Orion owner one day...

Cheers,
Presto
