Title: Bass performance Betsy with Lii Audio Fast 12 Post by Steffen on 10/25/22 at 15:45:03 Hi there, Due to this great forum and of course Decware I stumbled over the Betsy Open Baffle design. Intrigued by the performance / price ratio I ordered a pair of Lii Audio Fast 12 drivers (the Fast 15 where not available at the time I ordered mine in Europe/Germany). I hooked only the drivers up to my amp and the bass was quite low. But the 3dness was so great!! As I will do the baffles in the second week of November here my question: Will the bass performance improve when adding them into the baffle? As Steve wrote on the product page on the Betsy's that the bass will come from the coupling to the floor my second question: Will the adding of ISO Acoustic Gaia be counterproductive with respect to the bass performance? PS: I will add them into a 1,2 inch thick hard wood baffle. Best, Steffen :-) |
Title: Re: Bass performance Betsy with Lii Audio Fast 12 Post by Randy in Caintuck on 10/26/22 at 16:51:49 Hi Steffen, Mounting the drivers in baffles will definitely increase the bass output. The combination of the baffle surface and coupling to the floor will make a BIG difference. As to the addition of the ISO Acoustic Gaias, I can't address that. Some of my customers use cones, spikes, etc. under their baffles and are happy with the results. Your mileage may vary ..... so please share your findings ..... Best wishes, Randy |

So now I just need some faith in my project :-D Anyhow - if you would deliver your Betsy's to Germany I would instantly bought one. I will definitely keep you informed about the project and even more important what I think about the sound they will create. And I love the fact that the community here is very open! Such a great thing! It's about music and even more important: About people sharing one hobby! Best and enjoy your day! Steffen |
Title: Re: Bass performance Betsy with Lii Audio Fast 12 Post by Randy in Caintuck on 02/21/23 at 00:26:39 Hi Steffen, Absolutely beautiful ..... nice work ..... No contributions needed ..... I am more than happy to share my experience and design with the DIY music loving community. I have shipped speakers and baffles to Germany and a dozen other international locations, but the shipping cost and VAT make it very expensive ..... so I usually recommend the DIY option or having a local craftsman build the baffles. Happy listening, Randy |

PS: One song which is so awesome in terms of image capabilities of the the Betsys is the following: "Short Of One Dimension" from the band Exit North from their album "Book of Romance and Dust". Incredible. PSS: And for taking an awesome Jazz Journey with the Betsys: Shabaka & the Ancestors with their album "Wisdom of Elders". Have a great weekend! Best, Steffen |

My youngest son is now very carefully with them (he says watched me from inside as I am building these beauties in our garden) and may he is now so impressed that he is afraid to damage them :-D. Best, Steffen |

I'm always looking for new gems to add to my library ..... If you haven't already seen it, check out the Recommended Music Section of my website. Best wishes and happy listening, Randy |
