“When one door closes a gate opens”

 

The above anonymous sentence, so full of optimism, seems to faithfully accompany myself from my youth: have several examples which I won’t quote to don’t annoy you…

In my future plans for my new studio, the mighty Elodis TGE horn-subwoofers with their imposing size and weight will be possibly sold to a younger/stringer owner able to handle its 280 kg so to enjoy their 35Hz +/- 0,5 db and 109 db/w/m sensitivity.

As it’s quite evident, the reason for such a radical change is mostly logistical (the weight and bulkiness), not a sonic choice… but, maybe the hidden reason is also deeper than this: I love exploring and experimenting and the previous “Gotorama” was a bespoke, “closed “ project.

Slam! (The door closes)

Scrieeeeck!! (The gate opens)

🫣

Will use two Goto SG146LD bass-drivers in a straight horn, one per-side: sure I’ll not reach 35 Hz, BUT… I’ll get an amazing clarity and speed which I so much appreciated years ago in Köln at my pal Rheinard Huttenberg’s place.

… and life goes on with new adventures and experiences…

All fun!
