Onken response (BD-Design)

Bert,

If you do come acros that picture it would be helpful. I'm interetsed in their behaviour abouve 180hz.

I thought about your idea of using the Onken's for HT subwoofers, but I actually think they are too good for that. They could form the basis of a really good pair of speakers (they do with the Oris!).

I have been wondering about pairing them with a Fostex driver, either in some kind of box, or on an open baffle. I also had a crazy idea about using some Mangers, but thay are way too expensive - if I could spend that kind of money I'd be buying BD3s ;)

The main thing for me would be to achieve a well balanced sound using a passive crossover, and something that was well integrated visually.

Do you have any ideas? Finding a good cheap solution to this could be helpful to other current and prospective Oris owners, as it could put a further step in the upgrade path from Oris 150 or 200 through to the Ultra.

Cheers,

Russell

Hi Russell,

A long time ago somebody posted a picture of some measurements they had
made of your Onken woofers. Do you still have that set of measurements?

I remember somebody did published some measurements but I can't remember
where that was.

You could use them combined in one enclosure and use them as subwoofer
(HT)....

Ciao,

Bert
