ABOUT THESE
FINE SPEAKERS
If you've ever
heard a single driver in an open baffle you were no doubt struck
by it's big sound and total absence of bass below 100Hz.
The Nibbelin
Ultraflex are similar in sound to an open baffle but have bass with
good weight and tone. In the midrange the cabinet design
acts like a one-way valve (check valve) over a large band
of frequencies. Sound inside the cabinet exits instantaneously
leaving little to no sound to reflect back to the driver. High
band frequencies are handled by foam spheres placed inside the cabinet
in a vertical line to eliminate all parallel surfaces. The
actual number of spheres can be adjusted to taste.
The result is
simply the most non-congested sounding cabinet you've ever heard
next to an open baffle. Very nice balance, non-peaky, non-beamy,
great tone and an absolutely huge wall of sound with excellent depth
and no holes.
The efficiency
is conservatively rated on this speaker making it a great choice
with fine low power tube gear. At the same time it does some
pretty impressive things with bigger amps.
These speakers
ship with the Decware Modified Fostex
or Audio Nirvana drivers but would be compatible with most popular
8 inch full range drivers with predictably similar results.
You
can get this cabinet either painted or in hardwood.
