Nung nagbabasa kasi ako ng mga reviews about AN enclosure, I came across with the ambience type and na curious ako sa magiging bass responce kasi maganda daw talaga and they are right hindi lang sa bass region pati sound stage at over all sound quality  hindi nga lang totally pataas ang ginawa ko slanted sya para yung detail nung nasa itaas na speaker maririnig pa din and as of now na burning period palang classic 10 e pretty satisfied na ako mas lalo siguro pag na burn in na ito. Little by little din ang paglalagay ko ng stuffing baka masobrahan sabi ni bro monreq hehehe, ngayon yung upper part palang ang meron. As for the design ng box nagustuhan ko kasi yung itsura ng wilson audio hindi nga lang patulis yung itaas hehehe. Very convenient din ang binding post sa gilid mahilig kasi ako mag rolling ng speaker wires para di na pupunta sa likod and also bi-ampable kasi itong speakers na ito para madali mag kalas at kabit ng link. Your'e welcome to pay me a visit any time sir.

mukhang sulit ang inyong pagbabasa at pagre-research :D

some other questions regarding your speakers:
- may cross-over po ba yung speaker ninyo? I think it was mentioned/asked by sir camoteque sa speaker DIY'ers thread
- kung bi-ampable, ibig sabihin you can connect different amplifiers to drive the 8" and 10" drivers, tama po ba? have you tried na tumutunog lang yung 8" drivers and/or yung 10" drivers lang? kumusta naman ang tunog nila (kapag either yung 8" or 10" driver lang ang tumutunog) given their position sa enclosure?

thanks! :)

wala po itong cross over kasi pag full range hindi na po required ang cross over. Yes napag individual and bi-amp ko na din po ito. sa sq  as of now kung patutunugin ng separate mas maganda ang SQ ng 8" inches kahit pataas ang firing nya kasi fully burn in na and malawak din kasi ang sweet spot ng AN kaya kahit pataas e dinig pa din po ang full detail at bass lahat ng makarinig yun ang sinasabi a week ago,ngayon medyo lumalabas na din po yung tunay na sound ng 10" mga 1 week pa po and God willing e madidinig na tunay na SQ ng 10" and upper part palang po ang partially may stuffing wala pa sa ibaba inaantay ko pa ma break in ng husto bago mag tweak.

very possible to biamp, just unhook the jumpers on the speaker binding posts and connect two sets of amplifiers.....the caveat is that the two sets of amps must have the same gain...and you will need an active cross-over.....i have one such unit here in case Jun wants to try out...

huwag naman...pag gawa na at tumutunog na, tapos na ang math at science, puro listening na lang...;)

kasi nga wala namang passive cross-over na pwedeng kalikutin pa.... >:D

Thanks sir Tony! Pwede rin po ba ako pa-try ng mga amps ninyo? :D

Naisip ko lang sa setup ni sir Jun, lalong dumami ang possibilities ng pag-setup ng kanyang audio system:

1) one amplifier --> drives both the 8" and 10" driver (speaker binding posts connected)
2) one amplifier --> drives only the 8" driver (speaker binding posts not attached)
3) one amplifier --> drives only the 10" driver (speaker binding posts not attached)
4) two amplifiers, one amplifier driving the 8", the other one driving the 10" (speaker binding posts not attached)

you are welcome to drop by the house to have a listen on my amps....:)

wrt to running just one speaker, if you do this,
the other speaker undriven becomes a passive radiator,
would be interesting to find out how this work out...

Salamat sir Tony! Busy lang sa trabaho, kaya hindi ako makapag-sched ng pagpunta sa lugar ninyo. Magsasabi po ako kung makakapunta ako sa inyo sa Pasig. Gusto ko rin puntahan yung lugar ni sir Jun to have a listen to his AN speakers together with your tube amps.

Eto yung nakita ko regarding passive radiators:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_radiator_%28speaker%29
http://www.centerpointaudio.com/PassiveRadiators.aspx

Gagana pa rin ba yung AN driver as a passive radiator? Ang pagkakaintindi ko, yung passive radiator ay walang magnet or voice coil.

4) two amplifiers, one amplifier driving the 8", the other one driving the 10" (speaker binding posts not attached)
na try ko na po ito lahat only pag naka bi-amp na sya nagkakaroon ng phase cancel so what I did was I inverted the polarity of the 8" speaker para di mabawasan ang bass the rest connections are ok, as of now nga lang na di pa totally burned in ang 10" e mas maganda SQ nung 8"

ang pinagkaiba lang naman ay walang motor structure yung true passive radiators...
at saka sayang kung gagamitin mo lang na passive radiator yung speaker na may
magnet/motor, sayang naman....pero kung sa gagana, ganana sya....
