the real Duke Spinner Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I can not imagine any OB competing with Forte No Bass reinforcement. 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82 Cornwalls Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I heard a friend's pair of Spatial Audio Lab OB (can't remember model) speakers and would take them any day over Fortes, yes even the Spatial's bass was better. IIRC they are a 2.5 way with a plate amp on the bottom open baffle woofer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idontknow Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Well the Cornwall IV's have less bass than the Forte I's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82 Cornwalls Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Overblown or realistic? More doesn't always = better My point remains that the narrative some push that OB has no bass is not accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KT88 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I have a question about this. Let's assume we have a baffle of 2 (high) x1 (wide) meter e.g. We install a 15" driver at the center. In a second baffle of the same size we install an 8" driver in the center. Now, regardless of the fact that the larger driver can move more air (and regardless of influence of a given resonance freq. of the drivers) would the OB with the 8" driver go lower in frequency because its diaphragm is further away from the side ends of the baffle? And therefore the acoustic short circuit occurs later (in the sense of a longer wave length)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
