CUBIX PRO
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:27 am
I thought I would start this thread to chronicle the construction.
A brief description.
A three section (3 separate speaker cabinet) speaker with the bass drivers acoustically coupled internally in what became widely known as Isobarik, but had been done before Linn. So instead of two drivers as in the Sara and Isobarik these have 3 drivers coupled. Usual simple 3.3mfd cap and padding resistor on tweeter and doped bass driver with no crossover.
Now the new part, built into every one is a TSS amplifier with the heatsink in the back panel.
As with all the Statement amps the power supply is external.
Now this is just one side of the top unit of the Cubix Pro, but uniquely it can be used on its own and the second and third units can be added later. Each layer is £5k so the full system is £15k. Sounds a lot but for what you get at Linn or Naim it would be £100k.
As the build progresses it will be become more obvious what I mean about them.
