What is the purpose? Looks nice enough. -
Re: Modular Approach
Nicely done.
I'd considered doing something similar many times.

Re: Modular Approach
I like cabinets that can be "broken down" because they're easier to move with one person.
On the other hand, with the two bass boxes stacked, it looks a bit too "temporary"Isn't it about time we started answering rhetorical questions?

Re: Modular Approach
A kit design that would allow for someone to use the PE cabinets. More flexibility in driver choices as well.Originally posted by Erik F View PostComment

Re: Modular Approach
John Marsh over at HT guide made a modular 3 way using nothing but PE boxes. It was an exercise in building a really nice speaker for someone who doesn't want giant cabinets or doesn't have the time or tools to build them. It turned out quite nicely as well.Comment

Re: Modular Approach
I've thought of doing it but reflections off the lower unit have discouraged me from following through. With limited vertical dispersion drivers like ribbons, the negative side effects are probably minimal though. Any time domain anomalies to report with that setup?Comment

Re: Modular Approach
Why would anyone waste their subwoofers but putting them under the mains instead of properly placing them around the room?Comment

Re: Modular Approach
Maybe those "subwoofers" are playing up above 80hz, then they pretty much have to be there.Originally posted by DS-21 View PostComment

Re: Modular Approach
Then most people aren't gonna get high fidelity.Originally posted by Face View Post
It's really as simple as that.
In a real domestic living room, putting the bass units where the mid/treble units is nothing but a recipe for upper bass disaster. Nobody who cares about high fidelity music reproduction will stand for that sort of thing. They will find creative ways to get high fidelity in an aesthetically-pleasing way.

Re: Modular Approach
Not true. A decent distributed subwoofer system can be run much higher than that without affecting localization. Especially if the mains can be run full-range.Originally posted by evilskillit View PostComment

Re: Modular Approach
True but running the mains at full range takes away one of the big benefits of running subs, being able to not have to send low bass to your mains, making them run at lower distortion and allowing your mains amp to not have to work as hard.Originally posted by DS-21 View Post
The point of bass bins under mains is basically having a 3 way system thats easier to move than a 1 piece 3 way system. Its just something some people do.
Just to scrounge up a few off the top of my head.

Re: Modular Approach
Just because regularly people do it, that doesn't make it a non-stupid idea.
People also regularly think wires sound different.Comment

Re: Modular Approach
So having a woofer below a mid and a tweet in a single cabinet is cool, but if the cabinets are separate parts its dumb?Originally posted by DS-21 View PostComment
