In the Thread: How to USE “Resonating Oops” in loudspeakers
Post Subject: 20 Years Blew By Like Nothing...Posted by Paul S on: 7/1/2025
That 2005 post mentions some tone-capable drivers without suggesting their use as "resonant oops" machines, while Romy's last post before this one in this thread mentions he found a better way to get tone. I have to say, I was somewhat surprised (and thoroughly tickled) that - after all his experimenting - the value he ultimately found and carried on with from the Tannoy Red was its tweeter, which he specifically used to help the S2 up top, replacing the RAAL. Meanwhile, I love my current compression drivers, but I freely admit that compression drivers are not the last word in tone, per se, rather I found and developed some that have enough tone (for me, for now), along with qualities I want that more tone-capable drivers do not have, specifically serious dynamic range and power. I guess I was lucky to wind up with paper drivers that can play on a level field with the CDs/horns I'm using, but such pairings are not gimmies, and I believe there are less-dynamic paper drivers that might do better tone in a system developed specifically to do that. Gotta make those choices... As for resonant oops, per se, it's not on my radar, for pretty much the reasons Romy alluded to.
