Is anyone in the community interested in doing some lab tests with different drivers and different cabinet designs?
I’ve built Fostex MLTQW speakers in the past, and I generally enjoy researching different speaker drivers. I’d like to build some new speakers comparing different drivers, though I don’t like the research that’s out there because each speaker designer does their tests in different environments.
What I want is a catalogue of real world frequency response charts and waterfall plots, to compare to the manufacturer’s T/S parameters and computer simulations.
Ideally, I would like do some independent lab measurements with several drivers and cabinets, all done in the same room environment and equipment.
We could make it a group buy, and collectively pay for the lab/measurements perhaps even loan our drivers and cabinets temporarily to get it done.
Has this been done before? If not, who wants to do it with me?

Whoa, I wasn't thinking anything as in-depth as this, but the simplicity of fullrange systems has always been appealing to me. Just finished a pair of half-chang speaker cabinets with Pioneer B20 fullrange drivers.

could i point you towards the diyaudio forums, full range section.

I think you will get a much better response there.

Hi Guys, I have the same thread going at:

Full Range Driver Research Project • DIY Audio Projects Forum

Thanks,
