RE: question Par

Yes, I am aware of the concern. However the amps are not housed within the part of the speaker cabinet that houses the drivers but in its own compartment. However I appreciate that this does not remove the consideration in its entirety.

The reason that the speaker was designed in this way is that the brief for its original conception from , I think, the Danish national broadcaster was for a 50 litre enclosure including all electronics so that it was easily transportable from studio to studio.

It is now considered a classic design with around 40+ years of production and hundreds of users in in both professional and amateur settings. I suspect that if there is a vibration problem of any magnitude it would be common knowledge by now. However its larger siblings of 150 or 300 litre capacity do indeed have an external electronic crossover and tri-amplifier linked to the speaker cabinet via a complex umbilical cord, I guess itself yet another cause for possible concern.
