[QUOTE="Ron Kreiger, post: 23244, member: 68"] Re: Beta testers The 18Sound models almost Identically to the Ciare as far as LF response (Ciare will go lower but only a bit) with a tad more output SPL wise but not much. At it's price point $200.00 more then the Ciare that's a deal breaker for me unless the Response in the HF area is a great deal different.Jeffs B&C with the Exponential Horn attached just might be the HF edge in the project so that's pretty much where we are sitting at the moment.I've been running the numbers with a passive network and looking closely at Phase response etc.For now I'll include the 18Sound just to see the HF response with a passive based solely on the manufacturers literature regarding the HF out scheme they use. This catches my interest as far as HF output is concerned.So with that I will do a passive model to see if there's any advantage to that. Again at a considerably higher price point the Ciare and B&C keep up rather well.The Beyma is a nice low cost option so I might build that one last just to see how it fairs out. What we might be able to do Leland is ship you a completed box and let you mount and test the 18Sound. I'd have to see how well it models in the same box as the Ciare and B&C but from what I ran earlier it appears that it will do fine in that box. Can you do polar testing with SMAART? We would be interested in polar's not just on axis results as well as phase and group delay if you could do it.You can PM me back if you wish. [/QUOTE]
