    SynthesisSound Ref 20

    In addition to the above measurement, here is the close measurement when the tweeter is out of phase with the woofer (polarity is reversed from the correct one). Significant frequency response dip is observed around the crossover point. In this case the crossover point is around 2 kHz...

    SynthesisSound Ref 20

    It's been 20 years since I built my first speaker, which was the clone of Proac Response 2.5. Since then I have built many speakers and subwoofers, and fortunate enough to work with many of the fine drivers like Scanspeak, Seas, SB Acoustics, Eton, Peerless, Vifa, Wavecor, Dayton Audio, TC...

    SynthesisSound Mini

    Playing around with small woofer that can give very decent bass in small cabinet. Only few small woofers can do that. In this project I picked Dayton 4" woofer that can give good bass extension based on simulation. As for tweeter, I have MIC tweeter in hand that is similar to Vifa small XT...

    Your Equipment List- Members Q to Z

    With that configuration, I would buy subwoofer plate amplifiers that can take speaker input to drive the sealed woofers, then cross it around 70Hz or so. Keep the FR and tweeter as it is. You can customize the bass however you want it much easier. Nothing much to spec a sealed enclosure.

    It's all good with different crossover as long as you like the sound. Here's the measurement with my crossover. Trying to be as natural as possible. No emphasise on certain freq. I stay near Bukit Gombak MRT. You are welcome to drop by for a chat or listening to music.

    Built by synthesis 😉 That additional baffle is because the previous owner wanted to change drivers combination from original configuration.

    Why do we invite others to listen to our setup?

    Your standard maybe very high.....😉 Marantz CD player can do streaming/Tidal if you like the sound. I'm ok with the sound from Marantz ND8006 but I don't like the HEOS app interface

    Port diameter and depth affect the port tuning frequency. Changing the airflow in the port will affect the tuning frequency as well.

    HiEnd cables DIY

    I was half joking reminding Boxerfan of the video that he shared some time back. On the other hand, there is technical merit on twisting cable to improve EMI. Here is one explanation from quick search https://emianalyst.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/how-cable-twisting-improves-emi/ How much it will...
