Kits for small isobarik

[D3savage]

Hi is there such a beast as a kit isobarik speaker of reasonable proportions?

 

[orangeart]

Never seen one. What are reasonable proportions?

 

[fay spook]

I have seen designs but they appear to be more compound woofers (opposing drivers) rather than the spooned isobaric (the k is Linn) layout. The problem is the increase in cabinet complexity. However, if IPL can make effect TL speaker kits then why can't someone to an effective isobaric?

 

[Julf]

Opposing drivers is actually better because some of the non-linearities get cancelled out.

 

[orangeart]

If you do find a design I can make you a kit up no problem.

 

[prowla]

Well, Linn Sara are Isobariks.

Have you listened to or measured either? I can assure you the opposite is true.

I have a pair of saras in kit form if anyone wants to make an offer.

 

[orangeart]

Never seen the Sara's in kit form, did you have them made or were they available from somewhere at some point?

 

[david ellwood]

They are a pair of sara 9's. The boxes have been refinished piano black.
there are new grilles and four b200's , gaskets, crossovers and new velcro.

They just need tweeters.

I dont currently have time to put them together.

Oh, I see David, thought you meant you had had a cabinet kit made up somewhere.

This sounds like a nice little build for someone to finish off, you should post some pictures up somewhere.
