John Heisz - Speakers and Audio Projects | The Best Center Channel Speaker is... AND The Coolest Album Cover of All Time @IBuildIt | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 minutes ago
The mighty coaxial driver is the ideal unit for a center channel speaker because it's a single point source that doesn't suffer from the off-axis issues that a standard speaker turned on its side will have.
I bought this one around 14 years ago and I'm pretty sure it's out of production now. But it is a very good driver and perfectly suited for the job I have in mind.
That is to set up a rear speaker directly behind my listening position and wire that into the side speaker's positive terminals. This is the so called Hafler circuit that only outputs the difference between the two channels. Often used as a low cost "surround" setup, it adds a subtle ambience to the sound field that's quite pleasant.
Along with that, I'll be designing and building a new transmission line subwoofer that this rear speaker will mount in. This will give me the opportunity to compare the transmission line to the vented box I made a few years ago and see if there are any real advantages.
New CD's! ELP, Tom Petty and Bob Seger. Long time favourites of mine that regularly listen to today.
