A friend and I are building a 6 woofer and 2 ribbon array using two Newform Research R30 ribbons and 6 Scan Speak 18W/8545 drivers per channel. Plan right now is to have the overall height to 72" and incorporate 6 mids, spaced 180mm ctc. The ribbons will be positioned to the side similar to Brad Virgil's original R45 ribbons in the Excelarray. Instead of a base we will utilize a wood or marble plinth.I've been thinking of going with a front ported design of 2 modular units that can be stacked up, with 3 8545 drivers in each module. Ports would be situated so that they would be located one at the top and one at the bottom of the assembled setup.
Project has been delayed so I could pick up a new source, preamp and amplifiers so that I can spare those from my current system and relegate them to the project which would be built at my friends place. Also I'll be picking up some R45 ribbons and extra 8545 drivers next month which would actually give me enough for possibly building a rear channel R645 for rear channel use or in another room.
