Post Subject: Update on Gaw DannoyPosted by Bill on: 2/24/2022
Last week found that the distortion I was having was due to some small separations of the woofer cone from the surround suspension probably from age and playing too loud. Applied the glue to them received from English tannoy dealer and distortion is gone. Decided that I do need the increased volume at times beyond what one tannoy can do without damaging cone, and need to be careful as there don't seem to be any replace,ent cones available.
Therefor, I removed the scanspeak driver and added second 10 inch tannoy red to each box.Running only the upper tweeter and have the two woofer drivers powered in series as they have 4 ohm impedance. Now getting about 6 dB loudness gain without distortion or damage to cones plus an improvement in the dynamics and distortion. With the Trinnov doing both dsp and acting as the digital active crossover at 60 and 1700 hz., the speaker drivers are almost perfectly time aligned with subwoofer curve starting before mid curve ends, and less than +/- 2 dB across the whole frequency band from 20 to 18,000 hz., Including the crossover points. The sound is great, but still don't have what Romy did in his room.Therefor trying to decide whether to punch a hole in the side of the cabinets to place the scanspeak drivers in passive mode to see if that does it. Just afraid it may damage the sound I have now. Any thoughts?Bill
