Reference 2010 v Compact reference (BD-Design)

Dear Veleik,

Would anyone like to share their thoughts on the differences between the two systems?

The difference is major...not in bass frequency response but in the quality of the bass. The Reference is not bad at all but compared to the REF2010...

It is not for nothing replacing the Reference!

Some background info can be found here:

Also, does anyone have the internal dimensions for a single driver enclosure (for both systems)? Can one change the layout of the enclosure as long as internal volume stays the same?

180-200 liter netto internal volume is what you'll need for deep bass and you can change the layout that fits your needs. Keep in mind that resonance patterns can highly reduce the bass.

You can also use 100 liters for more efficient bass but then it will not reach much below 45Hz...

What about the option of substituting the BD-15 driver with an Eminence 15" or another cheaper driver.

As starters you could do that for the Reference but not for the REF2010 because it will not fit (physically).

Bert
