The scheme you mentioned with the RTV is what Sequerra did. It is the same for braces in speakers. You don't want symmetry when taming resonances. It's also the same as staggering drivers on speaker front plates to get different distances to the edges and minimize diffraction. Nature works pretty much the same in many areas.

Glad I do not have to deal with any of those problems.

Now to see what happens 17 August.

Modified the crossover points between the servo subs and Neo10's. Like the new setup.

Then ran Room EQ with the CSL calibrated Dayton Audio UMM-6 mic. Used the 45 degree offset calibration data since the mic is pointing mid way between the speakers for both channel measurements for correction. Worked very well.

I am happy until all the things needed to get the tweeter arrays running are done. Have really no idea when that will happen.

Now for some music listening.

Discussed ribbon tweeters with Greg Takesh and he is going to make me 8 - 20" ribbon tweeters for the Megaliths. They will fit in the slot already built and have 5-way binding posts for speaker cable connections.

Will still drive pairs of them with the time domain beamformer as originally planned once the 16 channel unit is ready.

Not sure I will ever see the BG Neo3-PDR's from PE. This should work out nicely.

Isn't it great when things work out in unexpected ways

Yep!

The ribbon tweeter build started today. Will be a few weeks for the metal work to be done and drivers built.

you certainly cannot go wrong with Greg's work
