Hi, Timbo,

Interesting thoughts about a "smooth-diffraction speaker". Perhaps you could suggest some improvements I could make to my Maggies? :-))

Now, one has to live within the constrictions imposed by the type of drivers we like to listen to but I can understand how putting cone drivers onto a hemispherical baffle might be a very good thing, sonic-wise.

However, when it comes to a dipole planar driver that is flat and 1,600mm x 300mm, what more can one do to the frame which it is fixed to than round the vertical edges, front & back?

Regards,

Andy

Disagree with mid - badman 15:46:54 11/11/10 (4)

Not so - Timbo in Oz 16:33:21 11/11/10 (3)

Bad example - badman 09:37:26 11/12/10 (2)

the mid pod has effectively a 90 degree edge with very little rounding, so diffraction will not be smooth. - Timbo in Oz 10:59:15 11/12/10 (1)
