Our show from 2017. Don't have an equivalent video from this year. This speaker is one size smaller than our main demo speaker and one size larger than our new Monitor 10SL IMG_0016.jpg IMG_0018.jpg

What is this speaker? This runs on SETs? What db and impedance?

when did you get the horns

These are from the Pure Audio Project
These are easy to build open baffel kits
There are several models
This is the “Quintet” model which has quad 15” woofers and a Horn for the mid-tweet.
Very efficient and easy impedance.
Can be driven easily with a 300B 8 watts.

I plan to try bi-amp with a First Watt crossover and running dual 2A3 amps. Will be interesting. Also am building a layered bamboo baffel for them.

This is all passive? Half active is active from what frequency

The one in the video is the Monitor 10.15 and it is 96db fully passive (can also be made half active) with 8 ohm (min around 5-6 ohms) impedance. All Dynamikks are SET friendly.

yes 93 db all passive. The main driver is a coax with 8 inch paper/carbon fiber mid and polyester sandwich compression tweeter. Horn comes in a bit over 1Khz

I really like the look of this room. Could you add a custom W bass bin with a couple of 15” vintage drivers as a subwoofer for the total system? That is basically same recipe as what Kevin did historically. Quite cheap to make if you felt so inclined or buy a cabinet and add your own drivers / crossover.

The room where this System resides atm is really quite small.
How big would such a W bass bin be? I have seen the "original" bass Support from LV and it is really huge :rolleyes:
Do you happen to have a building plan and know what Drivers to use for such a monster?
