DIY Sound Group HT-12

[ceedubbya]

Hello All,

I have been looking into two-way uniform directivity speakers and stumbled upon the HT-12 speakers offered by DIY Sound Group. https://www.diysoundgroup.com/home-...me-theater-series/home-theater/ht-12-kit.html

From what I can gather these seem to be excellent speakers praised by many over at avsforum, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion over here, especially since they are very similar to the econowave design. So, anyone heard these? It looks like these were specifically designed to be slim, ie not very deep, so they can fit behind home theater screens. Do you think that will have an effect on the sound vs. something like a standard econowave? Also, I am curious how these stack up vs. other offerings such as the 4pi or 3pi speakers designed by Wayne Parnham.

Cheers

Never heard them but I've been hooked on e-wave and and similar designs. The 3pi or 4pi designs are excellent and use off the shelf drivers. Some (most?) of the diysoundgroup kits use custom drivers which could be a problem if you trash one.

Excellent point about the drivers. But it does look like this design uses off the shelf drivers as well. I think there were earlier designs that had custom drivers.
