Anyone see new BTl?

Dan designs for select people, not necessarily all over the map. Anything XBL^2 has a good bit of his design work in it though.

If I had 300 ounces of magnet, I'd make it as shallow and wide as possible.

This new Fi speaker is shallower, but only by about an inch, according to the pictures. It's still a LOT thicker than the MAG. And it has a very large and deep back plate (certainly bumped internally), which means a long magnetic path through the steel. While that is better than air, it is not as good as flowing through magnet, so it will be a bit lossier than it needs to be...

nice reply and i mean that, very nformative to me, and it somehow still made sense (dont know how since im still pretty sloshed...), but each woofer has its design and purpose, and like you said, the BTL apparently doesnt need to be super accurate, so it has a large area for the coil/cone to go non linear.

so any sober thoughts?

Looks pretty cool. I have no use for one though.

The last time Hoss was sober was sometime in 1988 if I have my history right here... he is just varying degrees of intoxicated
