Input on 8's

[SundownAudioNY 0]

I would sure be intrested in some 8's. Im sure they would be a popular seller and give the tb 8 a run for there money seeing they would probaly be in the same price range.

As for what I'd want...how about something like a Visaton B200 with better performance? Phase plugged, maybe a little more linear travel, cheaper...blah blah

Yeah, Ok Jim, I'll get right on it. Will next week be ok?

Aww...I can dream, can't I?

[mrogowski 6]

Any updates on these 8s?

I have a prototype coming. Looks interesting but will need a bit of work.

So, what kind of performance did you settle with for it thus far?

Really good performance.

Ahh i was kind of hoping for the sub choice. Please tell me they will be small box 8s like .5 to .7 cube ported.

I feel like im pissing into the wind, as far as trying to get any info on these. I guess only time will heal these urges.

[mpimm 0]

Haha yea, I would have to agree.

I'm anxious too! But we must be patient.

I have a feeling it's gonna be a while...

If there really is enough demand, mark will do a design, order up a prototype from the build house and test it and make changes and get another prototype and test it and go from there.

[mrogowski 6]

Hang in there guys. A proto is on the way, and while nice, it will require a bit of work.

Best,

Mark

I been toying with the idea of an 8 midbass in my front stage...I'd like to just run a 1" softdome with it. I have some old EPI home speakers with a fairly long travel 10" (for back then) and a little tweet and they sound pretty nice. Good size sealed cabinet, of course I want an IB 8 to do that in a car door....not too deep but I can fit an 8 without much trouble cutout wise. If it can hit 80hz strong and go high as possible I would try it in a second. I don't want a (dome) mid really, and it does not have to be absolutely perfect sounding. Even if someone made one with a passive crossover to smooth it out, that would rule. I would not run much over say 100Wrms into each if they are fairly efficient. If I find a cheap one to try I'm going to give it a go.

8" subs can sound nice if you have the need for them. People complain about space but I don't see anyone trying to sell IB car subs...they really take less space than a box.

If they went up high enough to blend with a typical dome tweet, it'd open up some possibilities for fairly high efficiency MTM's, especially if cabinet size wasn't a concern such as a floorstanding tower.

Anything over 90dB/W for a pair and a minimal-ish crossover would have me salivating...

bah....I was hoping for a sub focused on the lower end.

But that's because I can't build an MTM for home audio.
