I am very interested in OB speakers...

Please show me your pics/build/design.... you could even reference a thread to follow...

Thank you...


(I looked around all morning and couldn't find a picture thread, if there is already one, sorry...)

How embarrassing!  This circle has been open for years, and this was never raised!

Here are some pics of my old OB rig.  Visaton b200 mains with Planet10 phase plugs (not in the pics, but added later and excellent) and biamped with Mach t Audio 12 inch subs on 36 wide folded baffles. 

If you search for the really long "Gravity well of a Darkstar" thread, I really got in at that time.

>> DIYAudio "Ultimate OB Gallery" <<
That thread is (at present) 113 pages and 1100 replies.
That should keep you busy for a while.

p.s. Although, I think for a lot of the pictures to show up, you have to register.
p.p.s. Pictures of mine have worn out their welcome, so I won't bother.

No picture thread for Audiocircle....!

Sure there is. You just started one.
I only linked that because you asked for links.

Bob,

   Those Perfect8 speakers are very interesting. Makes me think about other possibilities...

Thanks..

What it takes to gain an octave

Hi all Audio Circle members.
Here are my two pairs of GR Research OB.
(V1 and V2)
Both OB are modified (A little) from the original design.
Very happy with both of them,
even and because they sound different from each other.
Both of them are easy to drive with my Decware SE84C= (2wpc)
and my Niteshade Audio NS-10 SEPentode (10wpc)

Wow! A picture is worth a 1000 words. Great post.

That looks like fun. I'd love to hear those.

Bob,

They sound pretty good. the baffle board is big enough that I don't really need an H-frame. I am working on a new design that is based on the same principals but utilizes a thicker baffle board, adds a mid bass driver making it a 4-way and cuts back the baffle area around the coax. The axial mounted rear tweeter seems to work pretty well.

I will keep the forum posted on the updates.
