Hello Inmates, I am fairly new here but have been an A-gon member since 1999(bryhifi). A musician and avid audio junkie for over 30 years. Several years ago I acquired a pair of DIY Zalytron built 2way speakers using Cabasse drivers. Elliot at Zalytron said they were a one-off by him and supposedly Dr. Joe D'Appolito and no info was around on the particulars. Curiosity started to get me the other day and started doing a search of older Cabasse models and found one that strikes my fancy for a project. Link below takes you to a model called the Chaloupe that uses the 21M18 woofer and DOM2 tweeter that I have in these DIYs. Sadly it is all in French so i can't make any sense of what was written about this speaker. If any of you speak french could you give me an idea of what the consensus was? If it's good my thoughts were to try and reverse build these speakers. If I get dimensions of cabinet, port dia. and length, driver specs and go by the 4,000hz crossover point listed my brain tells me someone could figure out the crossover schematic, no? If I am out of my mind just say so, but it seemed to make sense to me. If box dimensions, driver distance to center, port tuning ,thiele-small parameters and manufacturer claimed crossover point are all known I guess it could be worked out but I could use some help. Any thoughts or translation of link would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Bruce once you open link go down to model called "Boat" and click on it. |
