Since we are bringing back the original Shiva and Tempest we have all the documentation available and links will be posted shortly. Bob Reimer Creative Sound Solutions www.creativesound.ca
We are working on the kit documentation and should have something ready in the next week. For those who already have the Extremis 6.8 drivers we expect the Usher tweeters and crossovers to sell for about $200 a pair. Bob
Tim, hope you enjoy them. Thanks to all who attended, contributed, etc., especially to Tim for organizing and Dan and Adire for hosting, It was a good day and I think we should plan the next one for Canada. Bob
When the Extremis 6 becomes available then that sort of scenerio would be possible though it wouldn't be a Diluceo. (DIY Cable/Exodus Audio showed an early prototype at the Adire room at CES.) A number of different impedance versions of the Extremis 6 design are in the works; some will be Adire...
Picked up 4 samples today, 2 shielded, 2 unshielded. Look the same as the earlier units. XBL^2 implementation is now correct and there seems to ba an improvement on the high end (but at my age, who can tell?). I've asked Al to design and build a couple of MTMs with an OEM ribbon I'm evaluating...
The next round of prototypes are being tested this week. If you can attend the NW Washington DIY event on the 17th at Adire you can hear them. Bob Reimer
The drivers arriving next week are a version of the CSS 4" (shown at CES) which were done for a potential OEM who doesn't require the shielding. These will be available for listening on the 17th at Adire. Driver development requires "Extremis" patience. Bob
There are currently 2 different models on my website and they can now be ordered though they won't ship before the end of next week. The basic model "EZTUBESHIVAP" is for a passive design with 2 sets of binding posts included. The other "EZTUBESHIVAAMP" includes the 5 pieces of MDF cut to allow...
Update, We will have measurements, etc. early next week. I think if we measured the walls with and without bracing there would be a difference. Whether it is significant or audible is hard to say. We've included it and it with the spacers makes assembly very much easier. Bob
The assembly manual will be up today and product should be shipable sometime next week. Thanks to Al and Dan for their input and help. Full test results and specifications are coming soon. Bob Creative Sound Solutions
The 740C is a great little driver! I believe that the following will shortly be available W5-1138SA, WT-934, WQ- 935 and W8-933. The Adire Extremis 6 design has been finalized and prototypes are awaited. It has similar specs to the SS 8545 except it's XBL^2, has 11+ mm XMAX and a smoother...
I'm really excited about this product and so are others who either heard it at CES or have heard about it. Al's handiwork on the cabinets was appreciated. Dan tried to get it tested by Dr Klippel but there wasn't time because of tear down. There have been offers to buy the prototypes and at...
The difficulty with all the TB drivers is that they are only possibilities (I have CD ROM full) until someone orders 1000. I know Nuera is bringing more in but not sure which ones and when. Bob
I send all my customers with custom cabinet requirments to Al. He's also developing into an excellent designer and I have no hesitation in recommending him. Bob Reimer Creative Sound Solutions
Here are the parameters for the BXP10: Sd: 308 cm^2 Fp: 16 Hz Mms: 226 grams Cms: 0.43 mm/N Vap: 56 liters Xsus: 22 mm one way I think the box will have to be quite a bit larger with the 2 PRs. Later Bob
This is a high sound quality, low distortion (less than 4% from 25 Hz up at 94dB)woofer which works very well in our 14" cubes. In one of the kits it is an exceptional value. Bob
According to Dan XBL^2 technology can be applied to all types of drivers EXCEPT planars. Right now I am aware of a large number of projects underway but you know the drill: If I told you I'd have to...... Stay tuned! Bob
FYI, There is a shortage of JX 92S drivers at the moment until later in October. I paid too much shipping for the last shipment and that's why the price went up. Hope to be able to lower it when the new shipment comes in. Bob Reimer Creative Sound Solutions
FYI Adire is working on a whole bunch of new XBL^2 drivers including a 6.5" mid/woofer and a tweeter. XBL^2 can be applied to most driver designs except planars. Regards Bob Creative Sound Solutions
The ELF1.0 and ELF1.5 enclosure kits will be on the website over the next few days. We're also working on the "SuperELF1.5" and the ELF2.0. Regards Bob
The drivers which shipped did NOT have the problem. The faulty voice coils were discovered at the build house and so the second batch was delayed. Rgeards Bob Creative Sound Solutions
