Lii Song W 15 Open Baffle 15"

[laatsch55]

Got these hooked up a couple days ago and they sound wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than they have a right to. Didn't know what I was expecting out of some open baffles but it wasnt this.
They are NOT a co-axial, just a 2 coil driver. Both 8 ohm coils. I've run em hooked up in parallel and with just one coil, can't tell much difference. They go pretty low but I think they top out about 5k. Was surprised again that the further away you got the better they sound, and there's a spot where the backside finally reaches the front and it wasn't objectionable.
I had a PL 3300 Pre, a BDP 103 Cd player, and The Pig. It appeared IO could clip the Pig, but the specs said 100-150 watts was recommended. Another Model One showed up today, I'll let it try a little oriental as it's first assignment.....

I have a pair of 15" EV wolverines I've been wanting to test this with. I have heard they can be quite impressive.
How did you decide on baffle size/shape?

 

[mlucitt]

It's the copper heat sinks, for sure.

SCROE!!!

Maybe run some open back planar, ribbon, or electrostatic tweeters with em? I'm surprised they go to 5khz being 15 inches and all

I've see a pair of the full range Lii Songs on US Audio Mart, they're not cheap. Right now some guy has these three-ways for sale:

Those look really nice.

Kyle, I'd take that with a grain of salt there. I'll fire up the AP and feed the Pig some signals to see about that...

Thanks Bob!~

Kyle, I'd take that with a grain of salt there.

Good idea. These are made in China, the specifications may be "market optimized" or rounded to next higher audiophile level.

 

[VSAT88]

"Rounded to the next higher audiophile level". I don't think I will ever forget that.

 

[J!m]

They RESPOND, but at what level???

 

[laatsch55]

Hence the term roll off....

 

[mr_rye89]

IDK I didn't read the specs

 

[laatsch55]

IDK I didn't read the specs

Amen Kyle!!

 

[J!m]

Could make some sweet headphones too.
