Congratulations on building and arriving at a place where you are happy. It is often difficult to know when to finish persuing something in life. I am sure you will enjoy litening to music more without listening out for areas you can improve on.Aside...

Geez , good for him ! Coming out of Banana Republic and trying to make a name for himself. Who can afford $4k tweeters if not Hollywood ?? I guess he realized that he wasted enough of his time with loosers ;0) Anyway what (mostly) am...

You could source used TAD tweeters for ~$1K pair .They sound exceptionally smooth and extended .More so than infamous T-350 and with better "tone" which may be relevant since your 288 are tonaly "dead" according to the Cat. Who knows, he may be right...

seavan, I would not recommend to get Milq to use with 88dB sensitive speakers. In fact it might be dangers for the speakers tweeters. You will not have any interesting sound even is you in a very small room and will be listening at very low volume. I...

Ah, I see, they claim cobalt magnets only for tweeters… this sets everything to be more understandable. Those TADs should be replaced in those speakers in such case – but it would be shame to do it paying $150K for the speakers. In fact for $150K the...

Yep KIS. I dont use tweeters at all...just run a pair of Fostex 4" per channel in a sealed box from 250 Hz to where they will go. There is a little upward tilt which Romy rightly complains about to all the gods that wil...

You must be into antiques or something. Just buy a Raven R1. It will easily outperform both the EV (which is not very good) or the Vitavox (which is good if your hearing doesn't extend over 12Khz) tweeters. Yago...

Hi all,This thread has been a facinating read for me, and has prompted me to resurrect my old Celestion SL600 speakers.But their copper dome tweeters are looking (and sounding) rather worse for wear.Does anyone know where I could source them from?Any...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

There is a German company called Expolinear ,wchich started to make ribbon tweeters based on bulgarian research .They make model RT7 pro with neodymium magnet and 100 dB /8 Ohm. I have a pair of their low efficient ribons (~88- 90 dB) with alnico 5 m...

If you contact the guy he will probably tell you where it is from. It is good and it is a bigger flame than the one used by Acapella. The ion tweeters absolutely need clean power AND need to be isolated from the rest of your system as the...

If you are happy and enjoy the sound, that is all that matters!Do you have pics of your system?What drivers are you using? JBL 2441? Tweeters?What version of UBH do you have?I have a very close friend with a wonderful Edgarhorn system, I understand t...

[quote user="rickmcinnis"]Just noticing this.I have a pair of those VIAWAVE tweeters if you are interested in them.Have no need for them.[/quote]I may be interested to experiment with Dannoys. Feel free to email me the details (version, condition, pr...

What about the extra 30 dB you said your tweeters get at 22k Hz? And how far did you get and where did you wind up with the dedicated ground?Best regards,Paul S...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]The electricity comment is interesting as today I put on some jazz music and the HF is very snappy, excellent! I feel like posting on AA to ask people's opinons if it's the electricity or if my concrete horns are going thro...

I would like to pass some summarizing observations and some generalizations regarding the entire “Water Drop” project.
THE IDEA
The idea of trying to find a tweeter to compliment Macondo was a good idea. Many of you know that I was proudly declari...

This is very interesting observation. I am in away envy that Petar went for a set of large woofers (4x23”!). This is the way to go! Unfortunately I did not experiment with it even I had the drivers and means to do it. My problem was with the fact...

It looks like the Cogent boys came up with a new design. It is good that they are keep looking, even thogh they unfortunately are restricted with their desire to stretch the use of their drivers over too wide bandwidth….
The new Cogent setup lo...

[quote user="Paul S"] I remembered a host of "old" drivers from my past (not old at the time...) that, if memory serves, sounded rather muffled and slow, with humped response[/quote]Yes, Paul, that's exactly the way they sound in their original condi...

[quote user="cv"] I gather the Acapella plasma tweeters have a catalyst so you don't get the nasty oxides/ozone etc. Got some old ionofanes on the way so will know soon how well they freshen up the room... They are self-amplified so efficiency ...

Lots of good, relevant information lately in the new "Basic Guide to Advanced Audio" thread! But I don't want to orphan this thread because it is specific to speakers, which at this point means, drivers.So, germane to drivers, where should one start...

[quote user="T3GGG"]Romy, what is your thought on using a Tractrix flare on a Midbass horn, Fc 140HZ then maybe a Le Cleah horn above, say 400hz. To me this looks on paper to be the best of both worlds and avoids the 1metre plus midbass Le Cleac'h ho...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yes, it was not “allergy” but already, the benefit of the automated check speller but it is not the point. It is not about lofty standards. This web site is not about offering help or imposing help. I do not mind to help pe...

hi. That’s a nice topic. I studied the VO like a maniac. For me there are 3 topics. First was obvious, easy, the horns. The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flav...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]I will be VERY interested in your more thorough evaluation. I hummed and hawed between the CG 25Dia and the SPU Mono before springing for the latter, expected next week. My speakers could do with a bit of upper bass help.[/q...

Romy,It is interesting that you say that the problem is well known. I discovered this application in 1972, while trying to come to a solution for the sonic insults being supplied by a pair of Ohm F speakers. I eventually got them to act somewhat as W...

[quote user="ulf"] Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than we desired. [/quote]

Once again, it is not about the loudspeakers but about the idiots who put themselves in position of shaping public opinion by expressing the “expert” view. Yes, I am taking about the Morons who write those audio reviews. A new Danish 90db sensi...
