2011 Montreal HIFI show
04/07/11 at 16:46:01
 
I went to the Montreal HIFI last weekend.  A first time for me and a unique opportunity to see and hear some interesting equipment for someone who lives in Vermont (and have some nice food and wine- man does not live by sound alone). One of the most interesting speakers I heard, especially from a Zen perspective, were the Voxative Ampeggio (http://www.voxativ.com/eng/).  I guess these a horn speakers using a proprietary driver.   These speakers sounded great and had incredible bass. I'm curious if a FRX speaker could be used in a DIY version of this kind of speaker.  Thoughts/opinions anyone?

I'm looking at this!

http://www.voxativ.com/eng/content.php?p=dat/04-Full-range%20drivers/07-AC-X%20%...

I mean 8mm Xmss and 108db efficiency!

Says the driver is sold with open baffle plans. I wonder what this thing would do in a zen open baffle enclosure.

And how much does it cost?!

Well, the speaker system goes for around ~$19K but I don't how much just the driver itself costs.  You pose a very interesting question though.

5,500 Euros according to 6Moons. Or 8,000 dollars currently.

Hehe, I guess we'll never know.

How many goats died making these drivers? Wait until PETA hears about this!
