Mijo, If I had a 10-inch bar, I would consider making porn movies. But I don’t want to store my meat in a vacuum. We had excellent take-out Chinese food last night at the home of a close friend.
Tomic, Thank you for the compliment re the Beveridges. I bought them about 6-7 years ago on a lark and based on my longstanding curiosity about them. I have nursed them through many teething problems, mostly in my case due to the amplifiers’ tendency to oscillate. I think I have solved the problems with my particular amplifiers long term, and I have always been happy I bought the speakers in the first place. For those who don’t know, the Beveridge Models 2 and 2SW are ESL-type panels that are very unique among ESLs in almost every aspect of their design. They are driven by Beveridge amplifiers that sit at the base of the speaker so that the speaker rests on top of its amplifier. There is no transformer in the signal path and no speaker wire at all, because of the direct connection. Also, unlike every other ESL I know about, there is no bias supply, because the diaphragms are held at zero volts and are conductive. The 2SWs are only good down to about 80Hz and require outboard woofer supplementation and of course an electronic crossover. For low bass, I use a pair of Transmission Line cabinets that I built in the 70s for KEF B139 woofers, driven by a 50W Threshold amplifier.
