Nice Steve! There is a guy not far from me that is building similar speaker designs using the Jordan speaker, I need to get over and take a listen to them. No idea as to cost of them though. www.arsharmonia.com

By the way, also like the Bladerunner on the TV....

Dispersion patterns at bass frequencies are virtually omnidirectional, so the orientation of the driver is less critical. Also, even if side or even rear facing, the bass driver is not far enough away from other drivers to make much phase difference, due to the long (many feet) wavelengths at low frequencies.

That's the theory but in practise it is utter bull crap. I always knew where my Martin Logan Descent subwoofer was placed in the room.

When you have 3 large long throw drivers shifting a shedload of air, you know where it is coming from.

The guy you know is probably getting a Talesin which is ARS Harmonias own design for the Eikona 2, not available here in the U.K. although is looks similar to my VTLs it's a conventional ported reflex whereas the VTL as the name implies is a Vented Transmission Line. The Eikona 2 is a very versatile driver that can be used successfully in many different cabinet designs the most popular being my VTLs and the bookshelf sized Reflex 7, a friend of mine has some Reflex 7 and really rates them highly. Big fan of Blade Runner, eagerly awaiting the new movies release next month, big shoes to fill as the original was groundbreaking.

Apologies for the rubbish iphone pics. Note the 'stop gap' Radford STA25 Mk3 while Will is working on my Radford STA100.

Having to slum it with an STA25, I don't know.

I know it's a real hardship

Nice pics (and system), Tom! Just my kind of room, cosy and traditional, tidy but also 'lived in': just a nice invitng place to kick back and listen to some choons!

Can't be doing with these cold looking, 'minimalist' dwellings, which always look as if they've just been burgled, but the burglar forgot to take the TV and hi-fi!

Oh, and on that subject, no nasty big, plastic widescreen TV sat in the middle of your system, as is so often the case these days... Respect. I presume you have a separate room for all that nonsense?

Marco.

Charming.

And misses the point. I said "orientation of the driver". Not position of a subwoofer.
