[QUOTE="Glenn James, post: 137884, member: 6623"] Re: New DIY Mid High OK so I met Peter Morris on Wednesday at the same speaker shootout. It was kind of a weird moment when I asked a stranger if he was the same Peter Morris from the forums who was making speakers and the answer was 'Yes!' There were a variety of cabinets as mentioned above, and the manufacturers were asked to supply a system for 500 people. (I think some were thinking solo guitarist and others were thinking EDM concert there was so much variation in what was supplied) The systems had been set up in 3 previous venues and the manufacturers had not been able to make any adjustments since the first deployment in the first room. Most systems I assume were well short of their best tuning in this venue due to these circumstances and some were definitely better in various aspects than others. The most distorted material was handled best by the Danley in this comparison, it did not break up as harshly as some of the others, the Void system was only good if it was loud and the Meyer system seemed to lack top end on this day. The comparatively short listening tests did not really give any clear conclusions from the other brands, except Mackie was the cheapest!! A few hours later we went to Peter's workshop to have an inspection and impromptu demo. Peter screwed his horns back in the box after showing somebody the design and we fired things up. After a little futzing around with cables (Peter must move things around LOTS) we had a great little system going coupled with Peter's double 18s. The boxes were light enough to stack on top by one person and the sound was definitely very easy to listen to. There were no obvious or fatiguing faults, no harshness, and actually very easy to listen to at our reserved listening volume. This was a residential neighbourhood at about 4.30pm so not a great time to bash out and Metallica, unfortunately. We went for about 45 minutes on many styles of music, including tracks that were used in the demo earlier and Peter's design definitely holds it's own. As good as anything I have heard and is still small and powerful as was the design goal. [/QUOTE]
