Just wondering what the real advantages/disadvantages are?
Also how will the proprius mate with them, well or not? Just in case anyone thinks I am completely potty (and you would not be far from the truth), here is a link to the sort of speaker I am interested in thoughts about. And I realize thrash and heavy metal would not be the biggest strength of these. I hope it is ok putting the link for reference, if not will a moderator please forgive my sin and remove the offending article. http://omegaloudspeakers.com/products/super6series Thanks for any thoughts. |

I had a quick look at those, with a specified rating of 93dB @ 8 ohms they should be capable of disturbing the neighbours if driven by the Proprius. I love my single driver back loaded horns and so I think does Geoff Husband of tnt-audio who reviewed their bigger brothers the Polaris back in 2000 - he ended up buying them and still has them AFAIK - his review covers some of the things you are asking and can be found @ http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/lothpolaris_e.html For lots of info on single driver speakers in general try http://fullrangedriver.com/singledriver/ Beware of following these foolish notions - there be dragons |

Thanks Tony, as ever a source of information. Maybe you should be renamed TgWiki!

Or - get a pair of Tannoy (passive) Reveals and a pair of Proprius amps bolted to the back. Dual concentric studio type speakers with GSP electronics . . .
However I'd think that with drivers/amps/DSP/cabinet all matched those Equator boxes probably sound pretty good. |

The Equator D8 is being released very soon. However, I do not need 8 inch woofers and larger cabinets in my small room. The bass reflections would be a nightmare in my untreated room, I'm sure. I think the D5 will have enough bass for me. No "elephant bass" is required. Imagine all those D5 alterations I suggested being applied to the D8 instead.

Ash, they are impressive little two-way speakers. I think the RH knob is labelled "crossover," implying they are bi-amped with an internal active crossover. It may be worth checking if the amp swap to one Proprius will work as simply as you have in mind.
Addendum: Their website says 2 x 50W i.e. they have an amp inside the speaker for both the LF and HF drivers. |

Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |
