In the Thread: Rullit Aero-8 driving – misused naming convention

Post Subject: Actually Pretty Reasonable, IMOPosted by Paul S on: 6/15/2014

I remember this guy from time spent at AA. He has probably tested about a hundred drivers by now, maybe more. It sounds like he has no expectations of using these "full range", rather wide range. Unlike the Lowthers that I still use OB, the Rullit drivers under consideration here are actually designed to be used OB. Of course they have a "humped" output; what driver does not? I have not seen photos of how he arranges his OB, if it sits atop his BR bin, effectively increasing the baffle size. This is how I suppose he has done it. Anyway, even with the large, BassZilla-sized baffle, it drops off quickly under 150 Hz. He might have issues with integrating the heavy 416 15" cone with the 8" Rullit driver "tonally"; that's a fairly wide "gap", in my experience, and a 12" would better close that "gap" (he'd still need the 15"...)

If Haralanov ever checks in here again, perhaps he will comment on the Rullit drivers he has heard. And H is one of only a few people with more "driver experience" than Lance (who wrote the thumbnail review).
