Guess How Big My Speakers Are

If you read any of my threads on here or looked at my virtual system you probably already know the answer to this question, but for those who have not, try this as a thought exercise. Given this plot alone how big a speaker do you think this is?

Frequency response plot showint extension to 20 Hz

 

Hints:

  • 2’ from sides, 1.5’ from rear
  • Ported
  • Not horns
  • No EQ applied. This is the natural in room response using short sine sweeps.
  • For a living room this is a well treated room with GIK soffit traps, bass traps and diffusion panels strategically placed.

I’ll reveal my answer if we get 5 guesses or more. :)

I was gonna guess Fritz, but now I’ll throw out Selah as a Hail Mary.  I just hope the performance graph of your investment portfolio looks different from this.

Fritz tunes his speakers for more punch, with smaller cabinet sizes.  These sound a lot more laid back by comparison.  I will say he is using what I consider among the best sounding mid-woofers on earth. :-)

They look real good >1khz I would smooth the peaks a bit <500hz with EQ. I thought they were  3 way Bookshelf with that much bass.

I imagine the graph would look very different at an 80-85dB level.
