How would baby linoleum Pleiades Auratone type speakers look or sound like?


Cubes (used as loudspeaker enclosures) can possibly be made with linoleum sheets.


Linoleum apart from its low, mid frequency absorption quality can be bent and still remain very strong. This is due to burlap reinforcement.


If cubes can be made like carton boxes, manufacturing ease and speed could be achieved.


The speaker front face could be press perforated with holes of different diameter in order to protect the speaker while passing sound through.


They should also look brilliant as they come in great colors.


If efficient drive units are used they should be able to operate just by being connected to headphones output, not needing an external power consuming (usually sound quality compromising) amplifier.


How would they sound like?


How would they sound directly connected to Tascam Porta 02 headphones out giving 2x100mW? If drive units with 91dB per meter per watt are used and listening distance is smaller a huge sound pressure level should be able to be achieved in excess of 90dB which could be dangerous for prolonged listening. Amplifier distortion may be high at such levels anyway so lower SPLs should be used.


Protecting ears is first priority.
