In Reply to: You suggest a 16 square foot baffle and a 2.0 Qts. driver ... so would still need another speaker for bass below 50Hz? posted by Richard BassNut Greene on February 3, 2007 at 14:37:14:
RBNG - Who wants to have a 16 square foot baffle x 2?Someone who wants their baffle to contribute to the sound as much as the driver?
RBNG - Who wants to use a 2.0 Qts. driver?
Someone who appreciates high levels of driver distortion "enhancing" their "bass"? What if: "Yeah, but it sounds good"?
RBNG - But then you'd still need to add a monopole speaker to fill in the bass under 50Hz. -- and that would make no sense because the greatest advantage of dipole speakers in most rooms is less excitation of bass standing waves (causing a more realistic reproduction of bass instruments). Why use a monopole speaker to reproduce those low frequencies when a dipole speaker would have the greatest inherent sound quality (including room effects) advantage over monopole speakers?
Well here I must disagree with you. A monopole (placed beside/under) crossed at 50hz to a dipole will create a cardioid radiation pattern in the XO region. It will only radiate omni directionally at even lower frequencies where room modes are sparse and room gain from a pressure source is beneficial. Not a bad idea except there will be added GD from the XO, but I'll take a little phase distortion over grotesque IM from an over excursion driver.
cheers,
AJ
