Mutual Admiration Society aside, I want to compliment Wayne
on the way he takes a personal interest in not only the topics
but the people here as well. It is something that may be unique
in speaker forums or forums of any kind.
Most here are at a higher experiential level of the
craft than myself. Because of this I have more 'experiments'
lying around here now than I know what to do with and they
need a new home. Some of these experimental constructions
were done just to get the feel of tools-- particularly in the
case of carefully cutting line arrays with no jig set ups.
The project that turned out the best was (naturally) the
latest one which is a Mass Loaded Transmission Line (MLTL).
It is made with a a single Fostex FE127e with an enclosure
calculated from Martin King's Mathcad formulations by "GM"
at the full range driver site.
The MLTL approaches the sound of the PVC pipe rig which
was my first from-scratch build and with few tools. The
success of the MLTL design is that it is a more conventional
box with port design which lacks the bulk and 'alienness'
of the Boomtoobz.
Thanks Wayne for keeping us all exploring, learning,
and growing.
