Hi Martin,
No problem with the editing. I am still considering if additional information would be useful, and whether to provide the original drawings, if anyone wants to experiment. So the layout is yet to be finalised.
Sixteen B200s, custom machined baffles, aluminium extrusion frames, stands, wire and connectors cost me around £3000 in materials ten years ago. No labour factored in as I was doing this for myself. Expect 50% higher now. I have not felt the need to change these arrays for 10 years other than to consider what better full range drive units would bring to the table.
Hi Jez,
Yep, the world is full of speaker designs trying to get a quart out of a pint pot.
I experimented with smaller Visaton paper coned full range drivers with reasonably high Qts and these were quite good but not in the same class as the B200, and they definitely required sub woofers to fill out the low frequency end whereas the B200 array does not require a subwoofer.
