Beautiful post, rowuk. Very thoughtful, very considered. I have a slightly different take on the situation. Let's illustrate the point with the original poster's own words. First he says:"What distinguishes my project from most is that I wish to i...

"A tweeter positioned inside the MF horn"I wasn't sure how that could be done effectively but was looking forward to a creative solution. That photo image is not what I expected; on hindsight it is not a surprise. Of course one could rip the tweeter ...

Mark,
It is hard to say. I owned T90A sometimes in 2001-2002. At that time I was going through the drivers like crazy and T90A was just one of them. Looking from now I do not think that I gave to many drivers a chance as I did not “work” them trying...

RomyIt's topical to ask, since I'm building a 4-way system at the moment ..( Tapped horn behind and three-way horn system in front )Do you favour the tweeter horn to be placed at the top, above the mid/HF horn , or in this situation place the tweeter...

I kind if cycle my attention on the notion of compression and it is not accidental. When a few years ago I used the hugely dymick NT51 tweeter in my car I experienced problem to set the right volume and I run the volume control 10 times more fre...

Bud, perhaps it does makes sense to try the “dotizm” one again. I quite severely review my view on the way in wish I use tweeter. I still am trying to make T350 to work, let see what I end up with. Nowadays my T350 sitting in 3rd order crossover, it ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Here is another very interning solution to compliment S2 driver with top end. Townshend Audio have their Ribbon Tweeter with reported 110dB sensitivity and price of $1500. http://www.townshendaudio.net/index.php?option=com...

Had problems 2 and 3 here with my British crossovers
Both speakers have the 78 hz. Dip after a 50 hz. Peak. they are probably room resonances. Try moving the speakers and/ or the mike and remeasure.Also you have the sa...

[quote user="Markus"]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 la...

[quote user="Paul S"] I remembered a host of "old" drivers from my past (not old at the time...) that, if memory serves, sounded rather muffled and slow, with humped response[/quote]Yes, Paul, that's exactly the way they sound in their original condi...

I had today a couple listening sessions with the Water Dropped Macondo. It was amassing and …. a little strange . The tweeter does whatever I was expected from my imaginary “conceptually-perfect” tweeter but it also it does something new for me, taki...

Here is the list of the thing to do with Vitavox S2 in order to use it in 4-ways installations. The S2 must not be used in 2, 3 ways systems. It possible to do with S2 whatever you wish but pretty much any other way to utilize them produces some very...

Copper domes???The Lansche is one of the speakers I would like to hear. Is it sonically useful to cross an ionic tweeter at 1.5kHz?Is it true that a RAAL sounds more like an ionic tweeter than like a ribbon?Here is the CSD of the Supravox:...

[quote user="Macman"]Hi Romy,Its an Altec 416-8A driver in a ~100 Hz exponential horn, Jbl 2441 in 350Hz tractix, Aurum Cantus G1 tweeter and Eminence Definimax 4012 HO in ~30Hz Tapped horn.I just hooked it up and the highs are promising but I though...

As some you guys who flow this thread know my search for Macondo lead me to the world of ribbons. In the mid of last October some of you (I believe it was Chris) pointed out to the RAAL company. I was skeptical but decided to explore the opportunely....

Leaving open the magnetic flux to the nucleus is smaller and therefore the tweeter sounds much slower . All the tweeter is in magnetic steel ( except in some parts ) but the magnetic force is concentrated on the core . Since I use a translator to try...

[quote user="decoud"] The tweeter I thought could go below the MF. [/quote] Not going to work properly. The EV T350 is 120 by 60 degree tweeter met to work in vertical configuration. If I were you I would lower you MF until it edge along with upperba...

Hi!You are probably familiar with this one... It's the closest to a multi-cell tweeter (well, maybe because it actually IS a multi-cell tweeter, but only 6 cells) I've ever seen...picture of Altec 3000hRegards,Anders Boman...

The thing I notice with live music is the way the sound at all audible frequencies has articulated drive like I never hear with "true HF tweeters", or at least not the "tweeters" that go way up there. I got some sense of this drive and nat...

That's one big tweeter, Romy, and, typically, it was made that big only because they intended for it to go low. I keep wondering about the effects of the extra mass, if nothing else, but also about dispersion and window blind effects ...

Like I said, Yoshi's gift of de-whizzered Reps got me thinking of better efficiency and more "weight".So far, I've got this:A pair of Eminence Kappa 18" in ~ 6 cu. ft BR box to ~250 Hz; de-whizzered Lowther DX-4 PLUS de-whizzered Reps ...

Hi Romy. Have you tried a large cone high efficiency tweeter? I have used a Saba 4 inch diameter 'green cone' 99 dB/w without a horn and found it to be interesting. Have you tried some kind of horn loading with such a tweeter? Steve...

[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

Listening my Macondo with new “Fundamental channel” I noted that my tweeter is not as effective as it use to be. The effect of “not-effectiveness” is very minor but at some recordings it is notable. My T350 still sorts the Vitavox S2’s top but it als...

I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph.I have also seen the inside of the tweeter.They are very similar,so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different.I'll try to explain.I think they a...
