Post Subject: Nested TweeterPosted by Paul S on: 12/25/2024
No doubt you will find better looking support for your (super) tweeter, starting with less material. I see and appreciate that you have resisted any urges to remove the woofer cone, dust cover, etc. from around the tweeter. During my own manic experiments some years back I came to the conclusion that a "nested" tweeter "sounded better" than the same tweeter in free air. I never did figure out why. I also thought the largest cone (I am talking paper drivers) that could "do" the desired frequencies "sounded best". Of course, I took another direction in order to up the power potential. Of course I still have dozens of paper tweeters...
How are you liking the cellular horn, as opposed to your big, heavy turned horns? I remember preferring the Altec "500Hz" horn at 800Hz, but I did not like the 515s at 800Hz, and my wife hated the A7s, no peace until I sold them.
Happy Holidays,
