You cheated? Saw his 'wanted' ad for stands for these? Stands!!!!!! I know 60s 'bookshelf' speakers were bigg, but....STANDS?

Interesting what's an active TL? I know there were some interesting British speakers that had a woofer internally in reverse phase that effectively simulated a long line IIRC, I forget the name but they looked great. They also made some big actives you occasionally see, now what was the company called..?

Isobaric! But obviously not.....!

Interesting, like an ABR but active, not sure what difference a relatively short line makes. Could be 1/8 wave I guess.

1/8 wavelength will be partly in phase at bass frequencies. It works, look at the B&W DM2.

Griffin Studio Electronic 85 that's the one I was thinking of. Patented tandem line. Mentioned on the below thread but mistakenly as an isobaric design. I'm convinced the internal B200 was out of phase and cancelled the back wave of the B139 to simulate an infinite line. Or something. Not quite sure what happened to the back wave of the B200 though, there's no such thing as a free lunch!

Guess it didn't catch on.

Very nice Lawrence! I have always liked IMF’s, huge, but nice! I am slightly envious! Well, maybe a lot envious! Enjoy!

Thanks Tim I've wanted a pair for the last 10 years or so since I first read about them. One or two opportunities came up but I could never find a way of getting them home, at last it has all worked out. Plus the bonus of a turntable restoration thrown in has made it worth the hassle of sorting a couple of dodgy drivers and sorting out the collection.

When researching them in the past I've come across several owners in the States so you should keep an eye out for a pair, there are plenty of spares around for them, plus support from Falcon Acoustics is great. Have a look on here:

Thanks for the note, Lawrence! I do see various ones popping up here and there, and as much as I would love a pair, I have more or less resisted. One really good system is enough for me these days, I am pretty much done with rotating things in and out. But if I was going to go for another pair of speakers, they would be on my watch list!

Have fun with yours and enjoy the music!
