Point taken! Thanks for the clarification!

Joey...give Cherian's finals a listen...might be just the ticket.

Definitely might be worth another listen! (I'd do them the honor of putting them on the good gear though, if it's worth the trouble) I'd definitely love to hear your impressions of them, to see how they compare/contrast with mine! For the 400s, I am in the rare position of having the bass...

Good point. Crossoverless...and flat, (though it seemed like it was the HF stuff that benefited, not the low end...which is where the ML Xover is, no?) I think are both benefits, though I didn't test the dispersion characteristics of them, so the benefits of the flat panel in the sweet spot...

Very good idea! It'd have to be one that gets zero advertising dollars from any of them, though... Even better, I think, would be to have a shootout of sorts...where a BUNCH of people can give their impressions...since everyone has a different set of preferences. See if there's any sort of...

I just spent the last few hours listening to the speakers I bought to replace my Quest Zs. The Final Sound 400is, (shown being unpacked in another thread by jtwrace), are 4' tall flat front stat panels that retail for around $3k. First, the caveat...being relatively diminuative(around the size...

And what about puns? Are those in the GROAN of the beholder? :rocker:

I claim mental fatigue! :D

Haha, I don't know...you tell me, o mighty procurer of fine transducers. Have they arrived? Howsabout Sunday afternoon? You don't REALLY need to get anything else done do you???

Jon, always appreciate your thoughts/inputs! Thanks! IB is far from an option at this point. Doubtful that it'll be an option in my next place - I'm pretty much sold on the merits, though. I would definitely give it a try if I had a space that worked. I'm very happy with the quality (and...

Sounds good...I'll take the measurements necessary.

That's what I'm hoping! Nice big soundfield, high sensitivity, high max output, and very low distortion at normal output. (I don't like listening very loud, but like the ability to have realistic peaks...and the lower distortion that comes from playing well within a driver's capability) I'm...

Yeah, I'm definitely not claiming to be covering any new ground here :) If/when I get them completed (at least 6 months-1 year out, based on expenses, I'm figuring) I'll try to host a small gtg...see what you think. Hopefully I'll be in a house by then, so impressive test demos won't annoy the...

I'm thinking about 6 woofers per side, and probably around 12 tweeters. It'll be a 4 ft array, but the box will be 7ft tall. My room has horrible acoustics...so the presumably flat response from the speakers themselves then get all goofy in room. I've eq'ed them pretty flat, but want to...

Still have to play around with the crossover point/slope and some various EQ options...but even "out of the box" with levels matched between the drivers, the sound is pretty great. The planar tweeter has great detail retrieval, and the critical Q box isn't the least bit "boomy" which has been...

Aww, they're just ugly test boxes. Pictures you shall have, though. I'll take some now.

Pictures are coming later...but they're nothing special...it's basically a mini-monitor sized box with an Usher 8945P Woofer and a BG Neo3-PDR next to it...a small slice of 7'+ line arrays I want to eventually build. FINALLY got them assembled and attached to my active crossover. How do they...

QFT! :rocker:

haven't heard it...but try http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=23221

Wow, dual descents...and vistas? You've got more woofage than main speaker! I personally don't think there's a great deal to be gained between the vista and the vantage...but others feel quite differently...
