I'm 66 inches, the speakers are 102, it will take you less time to jump over me than to go around.

I'll need to read up on those beautiful speakers you have. I knew they were big 'uns but the photo shoot you guys did in the fabrication of them was fun to peruse through. I bet they sound quite nice as what little I've read has shed a shining light on this type of speaker system.

I would be curious to feel if the bass can push against you at moderate to loud passages such as those enjoyed by Lee and I as we listen to the serenading of Spongle at mach 8. I know the K-horns will knock you over and my JBLs will gut punch you like a 154 pound welterweight, but I've never heard the planar speaker at anything more than background or elevator music levels.

Andre, do you have a response curve for them?? Like Dr. Lucitt, I like to get mauled by Shpongle at Mach 8.

Acoustat 1+1s = 30hz-20k - Acoustat 2+2s = 28hz-20k - Acoustat 3+3s = 26hz - 20k - Acoustat 4+4s = 24hz - 20k

PS: All these models are 94 inches high = 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - panels verticaly stacked.

These are my friend Jocelyn's DIY Acoustat Spectra 8800s - 41x102x10 inches - 800 pounds of pure delight they go down to 24hz without the subs and 14hz with the two JLs F-112 subwoofers.

Wow - talk about a wall of sound. Are these newly crafted? They are beautiful and thanks for sharing. BTW - welcome back.

 

[laatsch55]

Impressive!!

There is a bit of a revolution/backtrack into Acoustat panels being direct driven here in Aussie. This was started and developed
by a friend of mine with the advent of a suitable direct driven amp being made available by Roger Modjeski in the US.
Have a read of this thread http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/ind...y-melbourne-hi-fi-odyssey-october-2013/page-3
I have an amp and a set of panels waiting in the wings....Lucky me

Owned a pair of Spectra 11s, I believe, back in the early 90s. Thinner across the front than these with a cone woofer on the bottom for a hybrid setup. Still - amazing sound. The Wife Acceptance Factor was no good, however, and I eventually lost the battle. They were wonderful while I had 'em, though.
