Hi,
Are you using the DEQX for the whole crossover or just the bass?
Dear All,
As some of you might have seen from other recent threads, I recently acquired a pair of Bert’s incredible BD Swing MKIIs...
Airy, nice side wall diffusers. Can I ask what they are?I have the BD design swing MKI in my main audio system for 10 years now.
Happy to listen to music again and again without being bored or seeking to replace that speaker
Hey Bill, I noticed that you're selling your [previously belonging to me!] Swings. Any reason why? (I thought you were happy with them.)
Mani.
How much are you asking for the Swings?Hi Mani,
Yes indeed I am selling my beloved Swings.
Why? I have been building a custom horn solution for just over a year now and I am now at the point where I have exceeded the performance of the Swings for my taste.
I still think the Swings are one of the very best commercially available horns in that size of package and hugely respect Bert’s designs.
How much are you asking for the Swings?
Nothing for you SpiritofMusic?
All ok here. I hope the same for you!Hi Chris,
Hope all is well.
£9995. £100 delivery in UK.
More like 115dB/W@1m, IIRC. I tried a few tube amps with them when I had them, but all were way too noisy.
My biggest issue was getting the bass to integrate with the coaxial horn. Never managed to achieve it. I reckon DSP would be required to do it correctly.
In any event Marc, I doubt you'd get them up into your listening space - they're much bigger than they look in Bill's pic.
Mani.
For 10k you don't even have to sell the ZusI am seriously tempted, and I think they would suit me in many ways. But at 109dB+ eff, I'd have to get new amps, doubling the entry ticket to properly run these to £20k. And in the UK, the market for gear, even s/h is a little flat, my Zus and Nats would struggle to get a good price or sell at all. Gonna have to pass, alas.
