Re: SH-50 question


Hey your spot on, the reason for only 2 lf drivers is because of the need to make the speaker array able.
One could have 4 lf drivers, like there are 4 mid drivers if the box (outer shape) were different.

Gotcha. Thanks.


A thought is to see how far down the response could be tuned “if” one had the luxury of all the extra air space internally, if the box were square (or a tower).

Since you say "extra air space," I assume you're speaking here of just using two low frequency drivers instead of four?


I would be curious too to see what a hifi reviewer thought of the 50, although I would suggest they take the grills off.
Robert Scoville has taught a couple mixing engineer courses using our stuff and he likes them.

Yes, I'd like to see a home audio reviewer give the SH-50s a go as well. C'mon, John! If you're not interested in reviewing them, perhaps Art would be.


The problem I have been having is getting a suitable subwoofer to put under the 50.
I have a pair of Tapped horn prototypes now that have (each) a half space sensitivity of 97 dB at 23Hz but they are too big (45 tall, 34 wide, 25 deep) for home use.

Bah! That's only too big if you're one of them "Yes, dear," Melvyn Milquetoast types with a bitchy wife.
