These are $225k. I need to audition them and decide if they're the current top of the mountain or not.

hey nick, here's something for your next project!


a Bohlender-Graebner planar line-source ribbon speaker, good from 150Hz to 18,500Hz. that damn thing is 76 inches tall!

should work well with a sub in either channel, huh? And at the low, low cost of only $685 per ribbon at Parts Express (marked down from $995), we can all afford them!

Bear in mind I don't live in the States, so pricing is different.

Sub and speakers were $3,400. The integraded amp should cost around $800-$1,000 these days. The CD player is nothing special; I calculate you could have a similar one for $200.

Wow. I didn't want to know that. Really.

I think hearing someone finally having done this has given me the confidence to move forward with it. As soon as I'm "finished" with my home and work headphone rigs, including the front end, I'm going to go ahead and buy a used Velodyne for my home theater with the thought of eventually moving it to a Martin Logan music-only rig. I tend to take baby steps so my next move after that would actually be a second Velodyne. Imagine my tiny little apartment, NHT VT-2s and VS-2s... and a PAIR of Velodyne 15" subs. That's an invitation for an eviction notice if ever there was one.

I wonder how hard it would be to blend a sub with them when they roll off at 150Hz? Mabye try two subs?
I also wonder how fast the sub would have to be to keep up with them? Of course a lot of that would be room dependent.
How efficient are they?
I have not heard them, but I would bet they image well. Nice price also.

Never try to blend a sub in the 150Hz range! A low frequency woofer should do the trick down to 60Hz where the sub should take over... sometimes at an even lower frequency.

Subs aren't musical enough to handle the gap.
