John Buchanan Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Holy shit! I've got 989s at home, but a double quad of Quads!!! How high are those ceilings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Probably a 12 foot ceiling. IIRC each set of panels is about 2 and a half feet or so tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Nice stack. What is he driving them with, does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) I'm interested in what they had to go through for matching and refurbishing eight panels Nice stack. What is he driving them with, does anyone know? It's taken from quadsunlimited.com the same place where Doug posted about the treble stacked ESLs. They don't mention anything about amps.

Duggeh Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 The done thing would be 8 Quad II-40s. With four though, you can wire them as two series connected pairs per side, each pair per side connected in parallel and have the same nominal load as one pair with greatly reduced efficiency. But nothing that a beefy stereo amp wouldn't cope with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepak Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Imagine a show down between the quad stacked ESL57 and Sound Lab Majestic 945 or Ultimate PX-1 in a huge room dedicated to just the stereo. Would there be any better way to spend time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'd put my bet on the Soundlabs. That's as a patriotic Brit and a Quad fanboi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Ahh but how about ELS57's with thinner membranes and mounted to a steel stand? Then we might be getting somewhere but I'm sure the SL's would play louder and with moar basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 For a steel stand theres the triple stacked ones on page one of the thread. Moar basses is the way forward. I love that my bedroom window rattles in its frame when I listen to Anything with a pulse below 35hz or so. I need moar watts for moar moar basses though.

Deadneddz Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Has anyone heard the MBL 101E? I'd be very curious as to how they would sound with their onmi directional dispersion. I think they look like art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattonrice Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 They do have one of the most unique designs I've ever seen. I wonder what those flower-bud looking things on their speakers actually do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Not groundbreaking or anything, but I like the way they've tweaked some of the usual details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 They do have one of the most unique designs I've ever seen. I wonder what those flower-bud looking things on their speakers actually do?The voice coils are on the bottom, pointing upward. The tops are fixed. When sound is applied, the voice coils move (literally) up and down, which squeezes the "leaves", forcing them to move inwards and outwards. There are 12 of them for each driver. Read the bottom half of this page. Yeah, if I ever win the lottery, the first thing I do (after moving to a new abode) is to get a pair of MBL's. Not sure which ones, though. Probably either the 101's or the 111's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
