Post Subject: Box Limits vs. Multiple DriversPosted by Paul S on: 10/30/2022
Well, Tannoy tuned all their 10" monitors to play reasonably well down to about 50 Hz. Their monitors I heard were all variations of ported, with some of their "newer" monitors (70's?) using the ports to create more apparent bass, and those monitors required (Surprise!) more amp power. I should mention, the newer drivers are different from the older ones (naturally). Are you planning to drive the SS lower than the frequency gained by the box? I don't remember the older drivers having long Xmax and/or high BL, or high mms, so multiple drivers and likely more power, not to mention biased X/O, to get lower than the small box "allows". I suppose the SS you are looking at would not work in a tapped horn sort of thing?
The foregoing supposes you are leaving the Dannoys as-is, to "keep them at their best".
Never give up on the idea of something for nothing!
