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 hope all you readers understand I’m not trying to sell you on my speakers or drivers, at all because I don't think this is unique to my situation.

The point of this thread was more to discuss how much bass there can be when we include the room in the measurements, and maybe to encourage everyone to think of room acoustics first, new subwoofers second.

@djones51  That's more or less how I am setting them up with Roon.  I'm still playing with the overall tilt, but I disabled it all for the sake of this posting.

eric,

I thought one of your speakers was AN HSU sub,

Do I get a 33% correct for this answer.:-)

You may be a vampire, but the HSU VT15t is currently 100% on HT duty. :) I had it set up for stereo before. Back then I had no processor, used an Oppo BluRay player as my processor and ran everything through a Parasound 7.1 preamp.

Now I have a processor and a 2 channel integrated and things got a lot more complicated.
