Ok, I removed the series cap from the amp output and made it as it should be – pure parallel. To my great satisfaction the little “dirty inflictions” that I got in Vitavox are gone and now the S2 as clean as it should be. I presume in the former sett...

I think it is absolutely not need to discuss how Fostex tweeter sounds as it might sound like anything. Type of crossovering, type of amplification, type of electricity, type of loading, type of time alignment and the precision of time alignment migh...

[quote user="IslandPink"]Do you favour the tweeter horn to be placed at the top, above the mid/HF horn , or in this situation place the tweeter between the bass/mid horn and the Mid/HF horn ?
To clarify -Bass/mid is a rectangular Tractrix with...

Thanks, it might be interesting. I never heard them and I have my prejudges against the ribbons but who knows…perhaps it might be possible to integrate a ribbon tweeter with the rest of the systems, I juts never heard it happen. :-) I was considering...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]An earlier iteration I heard with this two tweeter arrangement sounded seamless & enjoyable.[/quote] So, can you elaborate, or ask Kevin to elaborate what is the “two tweeter arrangement” is for and why he was not able ...

[quote user="hagtech"]Romy, I don't know what it is, but something bothers me about the way the upper horn hangs. All other drivers are supported from bottom, that one from the top. This is just gut, but it doesn't seem right to me. ...

|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system. [/quote]Yes, Romy, the upperbass channel is absolute mandatory. My comments were only about the particular driver, nothing more than...

[quote user="Markus"]I can't really make it out on the photo, but it looks a bit like a Tannoy Supertweeter.[/quote] Yes, it is but my interest is not what kind of brand he used but why he would need an additional tweeter in the first place? The mult...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

It is complicated. Any tweeter is different and the RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter is more different then others. Almond any other tweeters that I heard this tweeter has something absolutely unique- it has no annoying upper MF nose. When I asked Alex to...

|
[quote user="cv"] It looks to me from that he might be using an S2 from around 500Hz or 600Hz up [/quote]
Well, I thought about this configuration and it would be hardly possible in the light of what Kevin does. Let pretend that MF is low-pass...

After spending a day with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter, trying to make a mounting harness for it I have to tell you that it almost a nightmare to handle it. Around this tweeter I was forced to recognize all objects I my room on magnetic and non-magnet...

It looks like the Cogent boys came up with a new design. It is good that they are keep looking, even thogh they unfortunately are restricted with their desire to stretch the use of their drivers over too wide bandwidth….
The new Cogent setup lo...

Sine I finished the acoustic room treatment and the final setup of my playback in my new room I got good Sound. There are some minor aspects with which I will be working on – I know exactly what I need to do but they will be minor and incremental...

It sounds like someone needs to attenuate his tweeter for a .5db -.75db down…. ...

[quote user="cdwitmer"]I'm probably revealing my ignorance by even asking this, but I'm curious to know if a field coil ribbon tweeter could be practical. It occurs to me that if one could be made, it would be a lot safer since it wouldn't be a black...

[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...

[quote user="Paul S"]For the Reps I will use a 2,200 Hz notch filter for its peak[/quote]Paul, why don’t you try to fix the problem of the Reps driver instead of notching it? There is a reason for the peak and I do not consider the problem could be s...

Interesting point Romy. I wonder if using something like a photocamera iris diaphragm just in front of the tweeter would allow for a quick and "non invasive" treble adjustment. I thought of this when I recalled how tweeter response is handled by the ...

R,How are you crossing over the SA tweeter?Cheerscv...

I have to admit I have no idea and did not experiment with matching horn loaded tweeter to big ,direct radiating "extended range' MF channel. I'm not sure it's doable. I was speculating on the reasons why the owner of Moscow instalation switched from...

What I found captivating in the story of the Living Voice speaker is the he motivation of the Living Voice people to go from their former model to this new one. This itself. is a very interesting to me subject.
If you look at the image of the...

There's no plasma tweeter on the Cessaro. The tweeter is the TAD ET-703. The HK owner has a gold-coloured horn for the tweeter, but there's no plasma driver. I'm pretty sure the horn on the Lansche plasma tweeter is a good bit larger than the horn on...

Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an entire "speaker" including woofer. I've never played with them before, but I wonder how much, if any, SPL is scrubbed from the tweeter by the crossover so that it matches the woofer. Romy, from what ...

Might I ask you what tweeter you use withy your Macondo and how you dive it? ...

[quote user="KLegind"]Initially I thought the Zu might be an interesting speaker in the context of tube amplification, however I tried the fullrange driver approach and I have misgivings about it...

Actually Jorge brought a valid perspective: the HF that are crossed at 5K are not the same as HF that are crossed at 10K. The point is that in a playback that crossed at 5K one can’t talk about HF as a self contained expressive tool as in that type c...

Robin, what you say about shifting your head while listening is very interesting in the context of this thread, since I happen to know that one of Haralnov's primary goals is the elimination of the tweeter (or any driver, for that matter) as a "sour...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi ,just a couple of things , in the Gamma there is another 1 inch TAD driver between the 4001 and the 703 , regarding the placement of the tweeter ,it is only recessed 3 or 4cm ,at a useable frequency range there will be neg...
