Anthony, it is not the subject of this thread but I am replying you since you raised a question. Is there are a lot of conspiracies about Tannoy vintage crossovers. They did many different versions and all of them well known. If somebody need I can hook you up with contemporary guys in UK who do Tannoy crossovers of any version you want. There is really nothing complicated or mischievous there. There are a few ways to kill some resonances at high frequency driver and it is up to you if you choose to do it. That Bass driver is a regular straight second order. The bottom range of Tannoy is very lucrative but very colored and not particularly will work well this dynamic amplification. You cannot drive 10 inch read this sub 20w SET, it will sound like crap regardless of amp. You need to have more brutal force towards the driver but it has no lot of excursion and if you push it to its bottom level you will have compression and fragility. The acoustically suspended with ultra low frequency passive regulator it sounds completely different and might be very surprisingly be effective at 40-50 Hertz region. Those 50 cycles with passive radiator for whatever reason do not sound like 50 cycles but sound surprisingly rich. By the way tannoy did same model of loading this TT 225 model if not mistaken, it was not vintage and got PA use. Still despite everything in my new speaker I will be unloaded low frequency from Reds, most likely somewhere around 75 cycles and at the bottom it will be supported by 15 inch sealed Vitavox. This is basically the whole design of Remedies the Beauty. In the heart of everything is 10 inch red ,compression driver and everything else just organically derives from it. My original box for experimenting with red and passive regulator I bought for 45 bucks at eBay from a store which sell car audio. I had plenty of friends and plenty of my scanspeak woofers, it is just was an accident that the box had two identical 10- holes is there which seduced me...
I do feel that red loaded this passive radiator with any good complementary vintage bass driver, like Altecs should work out. My experiments with this configuration where superbly encouraging. It does sound significantly more colored and more round than my Macondo but it also sound astonishingly non-conflictus and peaceful. I had for a while two systems back back and this invitedness, non-abusive nature and my absolute lack of critiques about that sound made me to make the decision. It is very important to note that I do not consider sound from my new speaker completely problem free. But for whatever reason it doesn't make me to object it but instead it gives very harmonious experience. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
