Yeah, that's the artistic license part Also, Creole Shrubb is technically a rum. The Oriental is already a strange one. Any other cocktails that use rye and lime? That's weird to begin with. This is a nice one for sure.

Yum! I cannot wait to get my new Armangac!

(Not Quite An) Oriental Cocktail 1.5 oz rye (Redbreast 12) .75 oz curacao (Creole Shrubb) .75 sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica) .5 oz lime juice Shake and strain. Garnish with a cherry. Fantastic modification! The Redbreast really works here. Has anyone tried it in a cocktail?

Out of Dolin Dry. I wonder if Vya might be a good substitute or just stick with what works.,

Mikey, do you receive scotch from direct overseas sources? I found a cachaca website in Brazil that claims they can no longer ship to the US, which I found hard to believe...

Scoff-Law Cocktail 1 Dash Orange Bitters 1/3 Rye (1 oz Rittenhouse 100) 1/3 French Vermouth. (1 oz Dolin Dry) 1/6 lemon Juice. (1/2 oz lemon juice) 1/6 Grenadine. (1/2 Grenadine) Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.

Pisco Sour 2 oz pisco 1 oz lemon juice 0.5 oz rich simple syrup 1 egg white Angostura bitters Shake with ice. Garnish with bitters!

Cocktail al la Louisiane 0.75 oz rye 0.75 oz Italian vermouth 0.75 oz Benedicine 2 dashes of Peychaud's Rise of Absinthe Rinse glass in absinthe, discard. Stir remaining elements for 1 minutes with ice. Strain and garnish with a brandied cherry.

That was Dusty's idea!

Yeah, I just wanted to see what ideas people might have. I'm considering the Lowther TP1 Isis and the Lowther Opus One The former isn't a true corner loaded design, as the corner isn't part of the transmission line. However, it's made to sit in the corner, just like the old school TP1. The later is a true corner loaded design..

Yes, something like that

cool. Another neat little platform is the NXP mbed:

Yeah, that would be possible, but IMHO the above sound better than any Cains I've heard in the best case and is a lateral move in the worst case. Also, I am of the opinion that Lowthers work better in a front loaded, or mixed loading scenario, for the reason that recstar24 pointed out.

Already have one of those mBVR is the general term.

A digital magnetic inclinometer. $32 shipped from Hong Kong. http://cgi.ebay.com/Digital-Inclinometer-Angle-Protractor-Meter-Gauge-360-/190508634954?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5b33134a#ht_3679wt_974

The whole horn / transmission line concept is just beyond me learning, without a lot of trial and error. As far as regular box speakers, don't be so hard on yourself, I think one can do better than a lot of people in terms of design.

I do have a spare room above the listening room, and now that you mention it it might provide the proper frequency to cancel out snoring

After Al's cocktail above, namely the Crimson Slipper (nice! Different than what i proposed, but very nice! I think I prefer the Tequila-Campari though, and really want to try it with an Anjeo) I went with: Monte Carlo Cocktail 2 oz rye 0.5 oz Benedictine 2 dashes angostura Stir with ice and serve. I think I prefer this to the Old Pal. I think I just really like Benedictine!

Agreed. I'd like to do a front loaded, or more likely a front AND rear loaded design, which has implications on the TS parameters of the driver I'd need. I'd like to keep the kids hands away from the driver and address dispersion and WAF. I think you might have an idea of the designs I'm considering, but want to talk with the expert before I spill the beans

Agreed! I have a slot open to talk with him on Thursday. Oh and yeah, that one has my name on it already

I've had my fill of the 5" size, I think bigger is better here, after playing with the Jordan and Fostex drivers. As for the treble, that depends on the enclosure, i.e. Front- or back-loaded designs, etc. I think I can work around that The DX4 looks like a compromise between the double digit DX and say a PM2A, which is why I chose it.

Old Pal 1 oz rye 1 oz Campari 1 oz French vermouth (Blanc) Stir!

I'm not sure at this point. I've come to the end of a journey that says that DIY isn't the end-all-be-all in this hobby. There is a lot going for many (well, not many ... relatively few) commercial designs out there. Also, it's fun to own one-off-designs and first-run items by first-rate designers, something like this would be too cool to pass up (eyes Al's Unnecessary Complex 300B and half of Kevin Gilmore's house) I will say that I'll leave the enclosure design to the pros on this one, having done it "all" myself on more than a few occasions... I reserve the right to employ a misplaced Alaskan as well.

I think it's quite nuts. However, no crossover needed and only a single driver? yeah, that helps a bit...... Did you use the "doorknob" phase plug, and any additional modifications to the drivers?

Long story short, I'm thinking about completely overhauling my speaker rig. I'm going to do something I haven't really done before: work back from the transducers. I've decided on a pair of Lowther DX4 drivers. More data. Everything else is up for debate. Opinions? Enablers, start enabling!
