Re: Eclipse W520R-8/RS28F MTM

I ended up with a different XO than the one pictured above - similar XO point, shallower null but flatter through the that region. These will be at IowaDIY in October if anyone is interested in listening to them. I will reiterate my early impressions of the driver, but add that the breakup proved to...

Re: Eclipse W520R-8/RS28F MTM

Have a couple different options in the works - including one that crosses at 1100Hz. Monster crossover on that one, though - gets spendy pretty quickly. Still playing with tweeter levels and swapping a tweeter LCR comp in and out. I think it needs one at this Fc, but not yet 100% convinced. Another ...

Re: Eclipse W520R-8/RS28F MTM

As far as making it to Iowa, that remains to be seen. I only have the one pair and at the moment I lack the means to purchase a second pair to complete the other speaker. I will try and move some stuff via classifieds in order to procure the funds to get the other two drivers. I will say this: so fa...

Re: New Eclipse 5.25" woofer....

Due to the generosity of a DakotaDIY attendee, a pair of these dropped into my hands this weekend.

Re: DakotaDIY 2014

Things are rolling along smoothly, and we think everyone is going to be impressed with the level of sponsorship this inaugural event has generated! These emails will start being sent out very regularly starting very soon, and updates to the Facebook and the DDIY site will be occurring more often in ...

Re: InDIYana 2014 T-shirts

When I was emcee'ing Iowa last October, I claimed there were no "mediums" in DIY.

This poll kind of backs that assertion.

Re: Audiophile Smugglers

This is quite ludicrous at first blush, but from the way they carried out the plan it makes me wonder if they routinely get the heroin to the states via this method? Maybe this is how white van speaker sellers make their actual living, and just sell the speakers out of the back of vans to dispose of...

To be fair, some of us have said we would need two due to a guest that is not registered. We also need to get on those guys at the "other place" to register here, because I don't think it allows unregistered people to cast a vote.
