No, not Fostex. Hard to tell, maybe Jordan or something similar.Originally Posted by valhallax
I've heard a couple of rigs like that and they don't sound as bad as they look! Of course the most famous is the Linkwitz "Pluto". These are a clone of the Pluto called the "Poor Plumber's Pluto" or PPP.
Made by Carl Richard in Connecticut .

Never heard of the Pluto. Checked out his website--innovative design I guess, but not exactly an extended bandwidth speaker system.....
Pluto specs
Had to read Linkwitz's quote a couple of times while scratching my head (and fortunately not chewing gum at the same time)....
"What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself
but what has drawn your attention
in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums"

Being of "Sound" Mind
I read that same interview:
I think that he was talking about the impression of stereo and the two intertwined outputs from both speakers reaching the ears.
That's my guess of what he was saying.
Turntable : Yamaha GT 2000 - Cartridge : Soundsmith The Voice Ebony - Phono Stage : Moon LP5.3 - Preamp : Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid - Speakers : KRK Expose E8B.
"The woofer/midrange driver is a Peerless HDS Nomex 832873 (= 830873). The previously used 850488 is no longer being manufactured by DST/Tymphany and inventory of this excellent driver is depleted. The 832873 is its drop-in replacement for PLUTO.
An alternative woofer/midrange driver was developed by Seas for this application, L16RN-SL (H1480-08). It is the preferred driver when PLUTO is used without additional subwoofers. It can be purchased from Madisound. A few circuit component changes are required for its use. They are listed on the PLUTO owner page.
The tweeter driver is an AURA NSW2-326-8A. It may be difficult to obtain at times, but I do not have nor know of a substitute. It was actually this tweeter that inspired the PLUTO design."
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Thanks OG. Most of those little metal drivers look alike to me. I actually own a few.
Was that driver list from Linkwitz or from the PPP? I could not tell if the PPP used the same drivers.
That's Linkwitz' original. Not sure about the poor version.

Those would look a lot cooler if they were made out of only 90 degree street elbos for that coil spring/ slinkey look.
