How does it compare to Scanspeak reference? Does it have more details? same? Is the soundstage bigger, ot same size? I made discovery 861 with stepped baffle and think that is works really good, but im building my own desing with steep tilted baffle so just wondering will i go wrong direction..
5 degree slant in theory ,should work the same as the stepped baffle but I’ve never tried Bigger sound stage and bigger and more controlled bass than the Scanspeak SE but the Scanspeak wins on looks
@@cloudyday3700 I see now that Scanspeak ref does not have slanted baffle but normal straight, the soundstage difference might be part of not having locked phase (withing 0-15 degree) as it is harder to make phase right with not physically aligning woofer/tweeter (as in stepped/slanted design) As i was prototyping my speaker, i disconnected the 913000 tweeter and tried several different tweeters on the top of 861. i suddenly had really diffused, smaller imaging, instruments were not locked in place. I noticed that i had accidentally moved left tweeter 1.5cm backwards from correct position, and after i corrected this it suddenly cleared up and everything was open again and correctly locked in their place..
Beautiful speakers
I think the Scanspeak reference you made sound better?
What do you think?
Too much bass at times for the Reference SE , this cabinet is bigger and better

@@matsurus Original Scanspeak Reference SE does have a slanted front , I just wanted a different look with the chamfers
How much cost all without your work?
Crossover kit is around £400 but you buy the drivers yourself and then build the cabinet
