Superwhamodyne -
the final version
The sealed tower cabinet design was perceived as lacking upper bass (although now I think it was complicated by the bandpass subwoofer woofer being somewhat more sensitive than the tower), so the tower cabinet was converted to a vented cabinet to augment this region. This design was called "good enough" and the 3/4" MDF cabinets were finished, in natural ash, cork, and black lacquered hemlock trim.
This design was published in May 1996 VALVE as well as the Italian audio magazine Audion, issue #7.
This was the speaker which was intended to be entered in the aforementioned contest. The contest was cancelled, but development of the speaker continued.
Different crossover points were tried for the tweeter, and many ears felt a 6 mfd capacitor gave a more present sound.
These would work very well with the ParaS.E.X. kit
