Probably the same family as the BC1 - from an original BBC design
study.

apart from the rasping bass unit I couldn't cure - without spending a
lot of money and maybe changing the speakers characteristics too
much, in any case....

I suppose you tried inverting the driver?


Sure - first port of call after turning the whole box upside down; then
I tried all sorts of fiddling about before I spoke to DK Loudspeakers:

If it was like the original BC1, the actual power handling was very low.
About 25 watts. It was designed by the BBC for use where high monitor
levels wouldn't be needed - and attempts at that wouldn't work as the BBC
ones had built in amps. Spendor very soon upgraded the bass units to
handle 50 watts.

Actually the thread is about spikes, note the thread title.

So it was, but then we all settled for chatting about something meaningful.
And if you wanna use three spikes then it really really had better be for a
corner box.

I guess we don't know which corner speaker *you're* talking about,
then.

No you don't, as I told you.

Then stop playing your silly undefined variable game and tell us what
speakear it is about.

Kind regards

Maybe they thought you were talking generally about speakers in
corners rather than the specific one which your grandfather built.

Scott replied as though corner speakers could only be horns, fair
enough if that's the only sorts he's met.

Actually it always was the case that there was only one other good technical
reason for a dedicated "corner only" design, and that other reason was to
save bricks and building time. Which is to say that the only "classic era"
corner bass reflex box known to me is the one designed by Briggs for a 12"
and I can't remember what else, probably a two-way.

I simply pointed out that
the one I was talking about was a bass-reflex. But then Richard
Crowley crashed in with "If you had ever seen one, you would know
better", clearly indicating that he had no idea what the point of my
comment had been, or indeed on the flow of thread up to that point.

People here are really incompetent like and don't know that they are not
supposed to type comments into a thread between you and somebody else.

Then GregS comes in with "So it might be either or both" when it is
clear from the context that "it" is the speaker I was talking about.
Yes I get ****ed-off when people tell me that I would "know better"
simply because they are incapable of following a thread!

This is because the good people here are not only technically incompetent,
they also do not have manners and they don't know the prior state of the
art. You should have seen this earlier on and understood that because of
their vast technnical ignorance they didn't know what corner box you were
speaking about and then you should have told them and provided a web link to
description and photos.

Is the one I'd like to have, way better midrange unit that the Klipsch box.

Some judicious use of trunking wouldn't go amiss. ;-)

Actually, one of those cheap Ikea wooden shelving units could probably
do a neater job. And wood's always nicer to look at. Or are those
"magic" shelves?

Yeah, probably plated with non-magnetostrictive chrome...

I tried that and cable tidies and ending up pulling my hair out when I
changed anything.

It photographs worse than it looks, sort of. We have so many sources
now, bring back the good old days. Connect up the turntable, tuner and
cassette deck and wonder what on earth the Aux socket could be used for.
Now I have 4 switch boxes.

Ikea! Heavens man, do you think I've won the lottery?

Economy before neatness is my motto.
They are unbranded flat pack kitchen racks from my usual audiophile
supplier
http://www.tjmorris.co.uk/
"magic" for the price 12 quid each, sturdy, adjustable shelf spacing and
lightweight.
