I would be happy to put my 2 cents worth on the design when my back gets better. |

There's nothing magical about the bucket sub being in a bucket. It's a slightly over .5ft3 box, build one however you like.... If you make it forward firing rather than upward, you don't have to worry about dead bugs rattling around |

If the sound were bad could you blame it on the stink bugs? |

Being prejudiced I would suggest a diy improved version of this - https://www.parts-express.com/cbt36k-li ... t--301-980 all the theory is here - http://www.xlrtechs.com/dbkeele.com/ |

If you are interested in a modified CBT24 check out this unlimited category winner at this year's Midwest Audiofest.

Thank you for the reference. What would you think of them for club speakers? |

Here is my current configuration - Attachment: I don't think the cbt's were ever intended to be used without a subwoofer. With the cbt36k's in my man cave I can detect no problems with dynamic range. I don't know about a significantly larger space. I would not call my system portable by an stretch of the imagination partly due to the subwoofers. Note that I am currently using the miniDSP openDRC-DA8 for signal processing. The input is a coaxial spdif cable which eliminates the analog to digital conversion. Also the processor has a remote volume control. I have also sent quite a few emails to Don Keele when configuring the system and he was quite helpful. |

I've known Don for over 30 years and he is a really genuine, kind, and knowledgeable person. That is a very good combination. Your use of the CBT36 with the subs and DSP is right on. One thing I noticed when he first auditioned them to a meeting of the Boston Audio Society that I attended is that they seemed a bit forward in the high end. It may have been the room so I would be interested to know if you have tailored the high end at all. |

I have yet to fully tame the frequency response. Yes the high end is hot. I am using REW to make measurements. I just need the time to tweak things. For video plus audio especially movies they disappear. Per Don Keele's suggestion they are configured as a three way stereo system not a 2.1 system. |
