Very intrigued. Would love to hear more details about size of the drivers, crossover design, etc. Its always a revelation to hear small speakers sound several times their size. Very few people can pull that of. For me, this occasion was when I heard a pair of (small)speakers at the NYC audio show from Sonner Audio. It simply challenged the laws of physics in my book. Talked to the designer, real guy. Unfortunately, just like everything else exceptional in their domain, I found the price way outside of my budget - $10K for the pair, apparently all spent on components since the cabinet was nothing special when compared to some of the Italian furniture masterpieces out there.
Can a small speaker sound really really good?
Hi everyone,
So I spent a ton of my spare time making a really good sounding mini speaker because there were no great sounding small speakers I can buy. However, I got really into it because it was amazing to see just how good a small speaker can sound when serious efforts are put into achieving as many proper speaker design principles and good speaker performance criteria. Having no budget concerns also really helped.
My speaker is 5" x 13" x 5'' (WHD), and it is a 3 way design using very high quality drivers from Scan-Speak. It has a properly designed time aligned, linear phase tri-amped active crossover. The speaker is very small, but it has real bass extension to 45Hz, outdoors!
I'm wondering, would anyone be interested in listening to my speakers and tell me a no sugarcoating answer of what they think about my speaker and how it compares to high end speakers you've experienced? My goal is to design a mini speaker that sounds just as good, if not better than normal sized speakers, and every criticism helps improve the next speaker I'm in Mid City Los Angeles, and I'd welcome anyone interested to have a listening session in my home, or bring this speaker to your home. I'm new to Los Angeles, and I'd love to meet some fellow audiophiles here.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
