Hi all,

I've lurked a while after Mike informed me about this website, looks like a interesting place and figured I might as well join the discussion, since I often know the folks Mike is referring to in some threads. We both belong to the local audio clubs in Sarasota and Tampa. Hopefully I'll find a few of those folks here too.
Disclosure: I'm a (loudspeaker) manufacturer, albeit a rather small one.

cheers,

AJ
 
Hi AJ - good to see you here! Post some pics and info on your speakers. I still have to get up to Tampa to hear your new ones.

I ordered some open baffle speakers tonight (Clayton Shaw's latest). John is over the moon. He spoke to Clayton for an hour today and gave me two thumbs up from his perspective. He can give you the design details. But here is a link: http://www.spatialaudio.us/lumina

Hey AJ.
Glad to see you here. I have seen your posts at other sites, and always wanted to touch base with you......as I too tinker and build speakers. I mostly built PA speakers in the past, but am now trying my hand at home audio speakers. I think I remember you possibly working with horn and/or waveguides ?? It's hard to remember for sure, as I use to follow so many websites. Hopefully I will catch you at one of the meetings.

Hi Mike,

Thanks, will do.
Ironically, I spoke to Clayton myself many years ago when he first hit the scene with his OB designs, as they were in many ways similar to what I had been doing for years and piqued my curiosity;) . Plus they were misidentified as dipoles in a 2006 RMAF writeup (link removed)

I knew from the pics that the sub were quadrupoles if they were being described properly (which are horribly inefficient at LF) and was puzzled by this, so I picked up the phone and called him.
His new stuff looks pretty sharp. I'll have to come down for a listen.

cheers

ooops, can't post links or pics yet, so I better get to post padding ;-)

Hi Jerry, yes, I've been around a while and yes, I've worked with directional speakers like coaxials and waveguides for a while also. If you remember this from around 2004, the you've probably been around a while also ;-)

Hey AJ,
That pic definitely rings a visual bell. I live in Redington Beach, so I'm definitely local. We will have to touch base soon, and share some ideas. I would like to see what you are manufacturing. I myself have too many ideas to ever manufacture multiples of the same box....over and over. Been there, done that with the PA cabinet business. I just want to dream up designs and build one-offs now. Thanks for your reply.
