Lynn Olson has started a good thread on diyAudio.com, called “Beyond the Ariel“. It has gotten some good participation, and Lynn’s comments and insights are enlightening. I’ve been thinking about large driver dipoles after hearing Robert Bastanis’ speakers two years ago at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. In any case, check out the thread if you are interested in these kinds of speakers.

April Fool! I enjoy listening to different kinds of speakers and amps. I am too heavily medicated to bother trying to decide if any of them are really much good
It amazes me how we can hear tiny changes in our system. It does not surprise me that some of us disagree about specifics … we are in a population which spends much more time and money destroying stuff than making stuff better.
Well, better WMD … not a great exception
Happy Ears!

I’ve updated the URL for the link to Lynn’s thread on diyAudio.com. For some reason the old link has been failing.
There are now 151 pages (1502 postings)! The concept for Lynn’s speaker has shifted over time and some interesting participants have joined the thread. If you haven’t looked at it in a while, it is worth getting up-to-date on the thread.
