The XSD Speaker

[bloqhed]

Viborg are great, another brand that has been good to me is Eizz. I only wish both Viborg and Eizz were more commonly available in the states, but that does seem to be increasing.

Hi X,
any news for using the Faital instead of the PRV?
Just because PE postponed the PRV again, until tomorrow, but I think they will change it again.

 

[Russellc]

Just one day might be good news....usually jumps 30 days or so. Hopefully they are around the corner, and they REALLY stocked up!

Today they say “Expected any day now”. Reminds me of airlines when you are stuck at a gate waiting for a late plane and it’s almost midnight.

Yeah, they switch between a date and "anytime soon"... Registered for notification so I'm relaxed.
And it's not that I suffer from a lack of projects

That's true. But I sleep better knowing all the parts are in the box waiting!

Got an update from PRV: They have some on the way, no current ETA, at least 30-60 days.

Good news? Haha thanks for the update

 

[xrk971]

Sorry for picking such a back ordered driver for the critical midrange guys. I do hope they are really going to be here soon.

I'm glad you did though! Personally. That driver was a big part of why I am so interested in this speaker.

How is development of a commercial speaker going?

I wrote up for notification at PE, so let's hope.
But I think when PRV gets some they will fullfill their backorders first, so...

If we use the bigger brother GRS 8PR in a similar tower; Shall the slots then be scaled linearly according to the woofer's Sd and displacement?

 

[xrk971]

Yes, but the crossover will need to be reworked as the deeper slot will have a lower upper bandwidth. If you are doing your own active speaker crossover that’s fine.

 

[wirewiggler]

PRV is showing stock now and offering 20% discount for cyber Monday. I placed my order.

[cwlo]

Shows out of stock. Are you sure you ordered the 8 ohm one?

 

[wirewiggler]

Darn it I was looking at the 4 ohm version

 

[Russellc]

Well, if crossover needs worked over for different driver this would likely be the best replacement, 4 ohm version.

I assume 8 ohm was selected for a reason, and it looks like they are coming back anyway. Likely worth the wait, crossover a look ready perfect for 8 ohm version.

I've got several half completed projects, from boxes of parts and boards, to just waiting for chassis.

Speaking of half done projects, I need to call the cabinet dude!

[xrk971]

This whole 8ohm PRV availability thing is a real bummer. I wonder if adding a 4ohm resistor in series could work to make a 4ohm similar enough to an 8ohm?
