Post Subject: I do not know.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/11/2021
I was thinking about it in past. I do not particularly believe too much in point source. We have no vertical resolution by our hearing and if drivers located strictly in a vertical line then in longitude domain they are single point source. Of course there are lobbying and many other effects how drivers talk to each other but in the context of perfect time alignment I don't see there is any advantages of single source, I mean physical point source. The point source is complicated subject generally. Among all drivers that I know many companies were trying to do what Tannoy did but from where I'm staying none of them work. Only those vintage Tannoy silver, red and gold did something special, from what I heard but I personally have very limited experience with gold and non experience with silver. I am kind of years ago put myself in a red domain and it is what I know. I have no idea what Reds do so special that make them sound soq differently. Interesting to point out that I have now five amplifiers at home at none of them until I went 140 w B2. This is kind all ridiculous but 93 sensitive red driven by B2 do not sound like 93 db sensitive. It's very much remind me what the biggest wilsons do, they are in the middle '90s insensitivity but sound much more dynamic than that.
Certainly the design is red is fine and there are ton of the literature about it. I think in the end ever since my balls down to some kind of material that they accidentally or not used. I'm not kidding, from place where I stand I think that the vintage red Twitter is the more lucrative to use in context of multi-channel horn installation. I was thinking already how to retrofit anaconda with separated Tannoy red compression driver but milq can I drive it well and this breaks the whole idea of muly-application by identical amplifiers. It might define another day to dissect Red twetter and try to figure out what was done in there. It would be curious to know if this superb pleasure I experience from reds came from twetter, from woofer or from... crossover. They are all possibilities. I have no idea why possibly loaded to my Sanspeak driver suddenly made the entire red so attractive and so balanced, as this loading should not affect sound of twetter at all. They are huge amount of variables that I do not know and this I am at very big fear the time I lose something going from the Dunnoy to Remedis the Beauty as if I lose anything I might not know what is responsible for it.
