Double Bass Onyx Bass Speakers

I saw these on the Lemur website and wondered if any of my fellow TBers are familiar with 'em:

Hmmmm... that reminds me a bit of a fEarful 12/6. I wonder if they are using the Eminence 3012LF and Alpha6 drivers?

It's certainly a good-looking cab. Has anyone heard one?

Sensitivity is pretty low on this one. Still, an interesting and really sharp looking design. I would be interested in checking one out for sure. The price is pretty decent too...

Adrian,
At 33 lbs I'd categorize this cab in the middle weight division. The thing that interests me the most about the speaker is the use of a mid driver. "Midrange frequencies that define the pitch, rhythm and nuance of bass notes need to be spread around to every listener. That can't be done with a 10" or larger driver alone or coupled with a tweeter. The OM12 has midrange driver that is carefully matched to the woofer to produce flat response and wide dispersion." I wish there were some speaker specifications, so you could see why they are calling the 6" driver a "midrange driver". My guess is that is just doesn't have the upper high frequency range that a tweeter normally has, which I usually back off on in the three way EA cabinets I own. I deal with Lemur for strings and such. Maybe I'll drop them a note.

Don't the Acme cabs use a mid driver too?

Yes, as do some Accugroove and EA cabs. But this design really does seem to be in line with Greenboy's fEarful designs and also some of the Low Down Sound builds which are using these new breed of 6" midrange drivers from Eminence, Faital and 18Sound.
