For the name, my suggestion would be: Alienor. - after Queen Alienor (Aliénor), who was queen of France and then queen of England. (Two countries representing the two ports). Also, she was the mother of Richard the Lionheart, who without a doubt is the most legendary king ever to grace England's throne. Let's give birth to a new legend, successor to Le Petit! ;) (Aliénor, daughter of Jürgen, sister of Maya....) 😍✨

I am overwhelmed! This is more than a name! 😲

[@realworldaudio]

@@iam_mad It is destiny :) 🎼

Wow 159 euros ,in Canada CDN$ 106.00 .i built it with a slightly different cabinet 30 liters... The bass is wonderful ,not boomy and has a midrange to die for and the highs are not overbearing. Good show ! Thank you for introducing us to this fantastic and affordable project !

Interesting project, looking forward to see how it turns out. If your 2nd version will have 2 ports, you could call it "Les Deux".

[@iam_mad]

I forgot to mention it should be in french, but You got it right! So double thanks for the interesting name! 😊

[@realworldaudio]

Superb name choice! :)

[@amitpinchevski]

“le milieu” - good luck!

[@claudionesdebologna2533]

Any news!! I am sooooo excited to see more, more mooooore!!

[@iam_mad]

next Video is planned the Hummel build, pls be patient 😅 I will be busy with work, but I am building it right now 🙃

[@claudionesdebologna2533]

@@iam_mad absolutely, thank you for taking the time to respond. Take care

[@Geoduck.]

Very interested to see this next speaker experiment. I've got the plans for Janas, La Grande speaker and plan to build a pair.

[@iam_mad]

La Grande will be a bit different to this one, but I am also very excited about La Grande as well! 👌👍

Tolles Projekt! Ich kann das Ergebnis kaum erwarten! Mein Vorschlag zum Namen: Amplitudo Gruß Olly

[@iam_mad]

Danke für Deinen Vorschlag! 👌👍

Live cabinets do not allow for much volume/spl

[@xfloodcasual8124]

G4 Cube!

[@iam_mad]

Yeah, and it still runs, even with TH-cam online, no problem! 😉

[@mattfranklin3622]

Try using drivers from Mark audio, they are very impressive!

[@iam_mad]

Thank You for Your comment Matt!
I know the MA drivers are popular right now...
Let my explain:
The Petit is something developed after a certain signature, with the goal of musicality and life like experience. This You get only with the Fostex drivers, that where made for. 🥰
If You are searching for the HiFi-Experience with super - linear drivers, You don´t need to make the Petit, or worse, put an MA into the Petit. Make a Speaker fit for the MA. 😉

Le Moyen ;)

[@iam_mad]

In German we would say the "golden middle-way" meaning to choose the path of best compromises... 😉

C´est bon! ☺

[@iam_mad]

Le´Isométrique, cool! 😊

[@MrRourk]

What is the minimum watts for the Fostex 125wx?

[@iam_mad]

It can be driven with little Watts, but I recently tend much more towards the FE-126 NV, which would be the better choice if You go for a low wattage amp. (The FE-126 sounds also more towards the good old Fostex Sound, the FF-125 is more the "modern neutral")

[@MrRourk]

@@iam_mad thank you for getting back to me so quickly

[@sjhorton1184]

How would you say "not quite so petite" in French; or even "used to be petite" ??

[@iam_mad]

Le "pas tout à fait si petit" getting complicated 😄

[@mahatma_manett]

Hi again Mad Guy,
like I said in the comment on the German video I repeat the name ISABELLA. The christian name of Peter Paul Rubens‘ first wife 😉
I’m looking forward for the finished ISABELLA 🍀

[@mahatma_manett]

Ich fände die Idee das Chassis Offset der Mitte zu platzieren auch super. Beliebt ist hier ja der goldene Schnitt ⚔️

[@iam_mad]

@@mahatma_manett
Danke für Deinen Vorschlag!
Bei der Petit hat das Baffle einen großen "Schallanteil", Assymetrie würde Auslöschungen verursachen 😉

[@iam_mad]

Thank You for Your Name Idea Isabella! She shall be voluminousely graceous! ☺

[@mahatma_manett]

@@iam_mad Achso…da wäre mal ein Aufbau interessant, bei dem man das Chassis an verschiedenen Stellen montieren kann, um das messtechnisch aufzuzeigen. Oder gibt es dafür auch Simulationsprogramme? Andere machen sowas ja absichtlich und natürlich mit Hintergrund. So kann man ja Überhöhungen von der horizontalen und vertikalen Mitte abmildern. Ist da halt die Theorie. Das wär mal ein schöner Versuch für den Frank 😃 in seiner Werkstatt der Lautsprechertechnik 🍀 Schöne Community mittlerweile hier auf TH-cam ♥️

[@iam_mad]

@@mahatma_manett Das wäre dann wirklich nicht meine Baustelle 😉 ich hab ja meine Philosophie schon im Video erklärt, um was es mir geht, zB Gehäusedimensionen nach Notenskala und die Symmetrie ist auch in der Natur sehr erfolgreich ☺ sind wir froh, daß unsere beide Lungenflügel gleich groß sind...

[@TheRealAudioDidact]

Would I be correct in saying this is a speaker primarily for classical listeners? I can't stomach a speaker that does not extend well into the 30s, better if its the 20s. No subs, no bookshelves, just nicely aligned tower power for me.
