I'm interested in what they had to go through for matching and refurbishing eight panels :o

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.

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.

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.

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.
