Post Subject: Could be interesting though...Posted by oxric on: 11/15/2016

Well, I cannot say that i have much interest in the installations on his Facebook page and this should be a strong indicator of the type of audience being targeted by the driver manufacturer.
Nonetheless, he has sent me some frequency responses, but not taken from listening distances as I requested unfortunately.
It is certainly interesting that in his own system, the manufacturer makes use of the 666 compression driver from 156Hz (maybe an implied acknowledgement of its limitations). Here is what he had to say about his drivers:

"the 666 Compressiondriver is able to handle 80Hz without any problems. It works with 2.1 Tesla Alnico or 2.0 Tesla Ferrite Megnets. 2" Phenolic Membrane.112dB 1Watt/1Meter30 Watt Sinus( you will never need it .

Here is the PWT Measurement

This is measured in a Western Electric 15A Horns 100cm distance on the Soundangle. The green line is our Compressiondriver 666 Top Model which can 80Hz - 5.000Hz

Here is a link where you will see the Driver implemented in a Satohorn. This is our Listeningroom and the Sato plays 156Hz - 1245Hz. With this driver you don't need to cut in the most critical Range between 150hz - 1500Hz.

BtW Our driver is the winner of the ETF European Triode Festival 2014. Together with our Tweeter."

It could work in the right application. But what about its sound? Has anyone heard these drivers?
