Bill,Any chance for your friends in Toronto to hear these new speakers?
Cheers!
Follow Ups:
I have been thinking for some time now to have a listening/measuring seminar it a little town Warkworth, Ontario. ( about an hour East of toronto)
I would rent the town hall, and interested parties could bring their systems for all to listen to.
We have a great coffee shop and restaurant in Warkworth.
Not a business meeting, but a get together for fun.
I have a WE 555w, RCA 1429b, RCA Twinpower system and numerous other
interesting old speakers, that you don't get to hear to often. Also some pro PA stuff.
I would like to give a demonstration on how to design a crossover as well.
I have the Mlssa test system.
What do you think? We would have to have enough people to justify cost of renting hall( I will pay for..)
Bill,It would be great if we could gather together the audio enthusiasts in our area that participate at AudioAsylum.
From Mississauga it would take approximately 90 minutes to reach Warkworth which is fine with me.
If the attendees are interested I could bring along my "old meets new" collection that includes the venerable Altec 416/806/811, a Behringer DCX2496, Roku Soundbridge, a laptop and the Panasonic SAXR45. I could demonstrate the impact of using various crossovers in reference to the JML recommended version for my setup.
There are other small manufacturers that are currently packaging their speakers with the DCX2496.
We could also solicit the Full Range Driver and Lansing Heritage forums as well.
Maybe we should start a new topic for this?
Regards,
Don
That is a good idea, I will start a new thread.
Todd said he woulds bring TEF- the last word in phase.
Freddi hasd a good idea to video tape it.

Bill,For our agenda I'd also like to propose that Dave do a short presentation on measuring speakers for dummi......? I just can't say it. Its just too personal.
If you can't measure a speaker it makes it pretty difficult to stay in this business.
Hi Don, yes, a good idea to show what can (and can't) be done with affordable basic pc-soundcard-based measuring systems. It will be useful to compare it to the results from professional-grade measurement systems.RCA-fan, I have recruited Dave West for site security during the yet-to-be-dated event. He has relevant experience, and is disinterested in audio so he'll be able to concentrate on watching over the equipment, freeing us to enjoy the event.

Benford's law of controversy - Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available.
This is a pretty secure building, and Warkworth has watchful eyes. It is a great little community. I have done a few shows there, and everything was secure.I will re-post this idea when it is a little warmer- and NO snow.
Freddi's idea of an on-line video-is a good one.
When the time comes- June- I will re-post - I am now thinking of a complete learning / measuring seminar, on how horns work with some of my R&D prototypes, failed( don't do this !) and successful .
There are B&B's in the area.
One hitch is that the Library is on the lower floor on a Saturday. Hall is free Sunday.
I can also arrange a lunch thing at the TalkBack Cafe- appropriate name.
