Actually Rick, that's an idea, but I think I'd remove two of the tweets. Geeez, I wonder how much it weighs?

I'd certainly give it a try Adrian, and if it works out ... one above and one below the screen.

I'd definitely give one a try as a center though.

I wonder if it would not be better to put the tweeters near the center, which would better center the voices to the screen. I think this is one of the main complaints of the 150 design.


That was my initial suggestion to Ian as well, and for the exact same reason. Ian said he was inclined to put the tweeters on the outside, although he did not elaborate any further. He did say that they would try several configurations and test them all to see which configuration works best. So, the driver configurattion not yet set in stone. I'm hoping to get an update maybe this weekend since by then it will be 2 weeks since I heard they were just about ready to enter the construction and testing phase.


SRoode Has there been any news on the M80 configured center speaker? This a definite buy for me if and when it is available.

I sent a PM to Ian but no reply yet. I'll let you all know as soon as I hear though.

You most likely will!

I got a PM back from Ian saying the speaker is in it's final listening testing phase. I was concerned about the grille since it is tapered on one side for the M80. They are tooling up for new grilles since this speaker will most likely be part of their line (sometime this year). A revised grille will be sent to me when it is in mass production.
