Table top t-line

I've been thinking about building something like this to use for near field listening. It's a full-range bookshelf sized transmission line probably using a HiVi B3N. The price seems low enough. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif This particular design is step tapered and the it is one quarter of an 80hz wavelength pre stuffing. Comments or suggestions?

Let me know what you think.

You had my attention until I read "full range"...

Then I kind of tuned out... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I agree with joe. Bookshelf and full range just don't go together.

That doesn't happen a lot... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Anyway, to be 100% honest it sounds like a very neat project idea. If you pulled it off well it would probably sound rather nice. I just don't get a rise out of full range.

But, what ever fits your fancy. Transmission lines are something that have always interested me however. Why not run a bigger mid and mount a tweeter in that bad boy? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

But, I guess that would kind of void the whole goal of the project.

Haha, I agree about the full range. Kind of lame isn't it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But it wouldn't be hard at all to stick a tweeter in there, it's definitely something I've considered. I think I'll try it out full range and add a Dayton or Aura pressfit on a 1st order if the off axis response leaves anything to be desired.

It's not that lame... It is a neat project idea...

Will be interesting to see what the final results are like.

just put the hi-vi tweet on top of it, and there you go
