Miracles actually can happen

Yeah, I liked it too.. But it's too small.

The feet are going to have to be bigger than the ones originally designed.
Bob said to make it lean 20-degrees before it would tip over.

I honestly think it will be so hard to tip these over, due to the fact that they weight 120 lb each.
So not only do you have to push them over, you have to LIFT the full 120 pounds as you tip it...
The feet being bigger than the extrusion, you'll have to lift it off the ground on 2 feet as you tip it.

There will be a few tests run to see just how small I can make it, and still have it stable.

OUCH - 120 pounds! Actually now that I think about it can you make feet with wheels??? Maybe they need a anti-gravity kinda thing like the speeders on Star Wars that can hover

Safety will be a issue then and "I" do have a idea that would be cool but I would need to draw it and pm you it when done!

most of the weight is the drivers.

I would say there is more weight with passengers then the drivers! LOL! Sorry Roy!

...I assume the taller array design and not the single ribbon design with the spider feet? How tall on the array? Could you also do the smaller ones? Will monkeys fly out my ass???

Any updates

At some point the Gorilla must enter the room.

What is the estimated cost of these bad boys ?

I am more wondering if there is a crossover at work yet! Active would be the way to go for me as I can build the speakers but I have a loooooong way to go on learning a crossover,,,

WTF does this half to do with my Father-in-Law???

If I remember correctly, the target range was about $7k.

The target range has increased since "things" happened. Also, the final plans have not been completed....nor has the tube x-over.

These are going to be worth there price,,,oh WTF did you say??? tube x-over?

Yes, and there will also be a surprise in store for any owner that purchases them. A kind of off the hook surprise and completely awesome but you are not getting one word out of me until folks at Carverfest actually see them for the first time. Nope, don't try it....my lips [and keyboard] are sealed.

After 3 long years... There IS a light at the end of the tunnel.
The ball is finally back in my court, and I can actually do some work again.

170 Ribbons and 275 woofers

Looks like we'll have some new speakers in time for CarverFest after all.
They may not be a final production set, but they will be "on display" a the very least.

well... congrats man... i think its really awesome having a job of your favorite...

I just spotted this over at another forum. Since I have not heard the final product since the unofficial debut at Carverfest, I thought I might give those who have actually heard it in all it's glory chime in and answer the question for this gentleman.
