Amazing, but time has a sneaky habit of creeping up on your arithmetic.

Re: Return of the Triffids

I agree with Scott's comments above. and of course the bass frequencies are more or less omnidirectional. What frequency do the cones have to work up to ?
I still don't really know how all the bass doesn't just cancel, without a baffle, irrespective of how much E.Q. you apply !

Re: Passive radiators

I'm trying to remember, did Purifi have a 'serving suggestion' using a passive radiator for the 6.5" midbass unit, so was it an 8" P.R. then ?

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.

I've been off work and it's been baltic a lot of the time, but I did get out Thursday and Yesterday for an hour or so, when it was nicer.

Re: Passive radiators

I think the main advantage is avoiding port chuffing, but I agree Steve(1) that having a coil and some resistance could give you more options. Do you have an idea how to select a suitable driver though ? - are there guidelines ? Presumably looking at Fs is the first step.

Re: General health matters.

I found this rather interesting. Dave Mcleaod is a bit of a legend, not just in terms of being the UK's best all-round climber -



The blood test results at the end are exceptional.

Re: My Swansong speaker build

I was just talking to Nick the other day about whether the show is on, and I'm planning to come. So this will be a real bonus.

Re: Purifi-based monitor - options

This is from a couple of weeks ago. Dave sent us some pics of veneer work on the finals cabs, in-process. I believe the plan is to darken this considerably with stain ; then a deep gloss as per piano finish... 29104af1-c6d4-4031-aaf5-7c6a592b675e (1).JPG 1e532e0a-6788-461a-bc97-f16fd112c9eb (1).JPG

That was pretty funny.
I really must take a listen to 'The Big sounds of the Drags', maybe the ultimate in soundtrack albums ?

Re: Valve amplifier service

There were both PP and SE. I think the SE was a parallel SE.
