In the Thread: Trash your “full-rage”, single-driver acoustic systems.
Post Subject: Was there....Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/30/2018
I like this Polish guy in your tube interview. I hate his speakers
of cause. The best this is this YouTube interview is the Peter Breuninger’s proposal
“certificate of accomplishments” that the speaker maker was granted. That was
huge recognition and I am sure the speaker maker will be keeping the certificate
for next 10 years under his pillow.
I do not know anything about the speakers, neither the sound
they produced in the video made me inspired to learn about them more. One thing
I would like to note. The speaker maker mentioned with pride that they have a
prototype of a full range driver with neodymium 2.4T magnet. Sorry to defecate upon
the speaker maker price but those drivers are ultimate horror in the realm of
full range drivers.
If you have a string instrument and
take out of consideration the resonating chamber then the pitch will
be a primary a property of force the string tightness, material to some degree
and the string thickness, among a few other things. Now pretend you tight all
strings at maximum force, the 2.4T is max saturated magnetic field under normal
circumstance. So, how the hell a string at maximum force can produce proper harmonics
at 12Khz and 300Hz, it is absolutely impossible, unless you have a very wrong expectations
hos sound should sound, winch is very much the case with most of audio people.
I need to admit the some (very much not all of them) full range
drivers so make VERY good MF drivers. The problem is that when the system organizers
begin to stress them to go “one more octave down” they shot themselves in a
food and bury the whole idea. Do you like your full range drivers? Great, cross
your 8 inchers at ~500-800Hz and fortify from bottom by other channels. Want to
use the full range drivers as true full range, loading then to some kind of horn
or port? Great again. Do it and enjoy it but do not declare your “design” as
the best invention since Greek fire. Everyone heard your design.
I pretty much discard each and single attempt to use the full
range drivers. When people use the “full range drivers” as MF or even as HF driver
only I have no problem with it. Also, I need to mention that a very small monitor
made with a full range driver that I heard once was the most interesting sound
the I even hear in audio. It was not the most interesting sound overall but
there was one single aspect (transients) of it that was in my estimation unmatched
by anything that I ever heard. It was at a show (surprised, surprise) and it
was the only one time in my life when I was not able to distinct recording from
life sound. I was literally was staying for very long time in a corridor next
to the room and did not believe that the sound I hear was a recording. It was a
simple recording of cause. The irony is that after that show I spoke with a few
friends of my who had the same experience, it never made audio press however….
