[quote user="be"]Hi Herman.Did you hear the Scanspeak woofers like the 8565 or 8555 as a comparison? If you have, what do you think?Rgds.Erik[/quote]I did not hear those woofers....

Another thing to consider here is a specific reason or reasons to use the "PR Type" Scanspeaks as subs, since Romy says outright that the Dannoy's PR cones have "no ouput", but the (rather amemic) LF from the Dannoy'ed Tannoy is all there is from the...

I would not advise to use my
Scanspeak woofers all the way to 150Hz. For sure you can but I feel that
they are fine in sub 100Hz. The upper bass need to have more HF resonance and
the Scanspeak rubber surround is not best for it. For sure it is no...

Howdy all,I have been playing with the Dunnoy concept since Romy discovered it and I agree that it is a very good improvement for Tannoy bass.Dunnoy with reverb injection is a phenomenal experience. I have gold drivers not red but I tried both 10s an...

[quote user="Jorge"] Lets just say that TH bass is much cleaner and generates a different "bass sensation" in the room. Once you get used to it, it is very difficult to go back to boxed bass.I find the sound similar to what a Mid bass horn woud pla...

Paul, I'm only learning here but if I understand correctly, a passive Scanspeak will not effectively lower the Fs of the active Scanspeak/s, as the notch is at the Fs of the passive radiator, irrespective of what the active radiator/s is/are. ...

[quote user="haralanov"] I’m still in the world of direct radiators and I’m looking for the ultimate midbass channel solution. At this time it’s still impossible to build a horn of this size so my purpose is to find the next most good sounding soluti...

My comments are rather discouraging arn't they! Not my intention but hopefully helpful in the long run. Regarding time alignment i just wanted to raise the point i think it might be more relevant than initially anticipated by someone considering buil...

I recently had a visit by a close friend, who is an accomplished modern jazz saxophonist but a recording/mixing engineer, running his own small studio. We listened to some bass-heavy material on my Dannoys, the bass was acoustic - piano and drums. Da...

Wow, Bill, that sounds like a lifetime of work - and no rest - to me! Hats off again if you can listen for more than 2 sessions in a row without glitches! It has been over 20 years since I gave a thought to combining sight and sound systems. But how ...

These are Romy's original boxes and scanspeak used as passive radiator. I have purchased 10 inch tannoy reds with their crossovers to replace Romy's which I have given back to him. My Trinnov is doing a 24 dB Linkowitz Reilly crossover at 80 Hz. To m...

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...

[quote user="oxric"] I have always felt that if I went for a vertical array of 10" drivers, I would keep the drivers closer spaced than you do in your 'Dunlavy' made enclosure. Based on the 110" height of the tower, I see that you would be doing this...
|
|
Are you using the ScanSpeak pair of the original Dunlavy tower for the midbass or something else? Can you pls give the outer dimensions of the towers to have some image? ...
|
|
...is that Dannoy were conceived and built in that upper box: pull out one Scanspeak 10" and put in the Tannoy 10". The remainder of the Dunlavy tower is redundant....
|
|
Yes, of course, I was using 20Hz as some reference only. It's Fs of the ScanSpeak. Tannoy is the only active speaker so all power comes (or not) from it. From your experience with Reds, where does its reasonable output end?

If I play my trumpet into a tuba bell and the tuba player just moves his fingers without playing, the trumpet tone is modified and sound like a mandoline. In addition, the upper register becomes almost unplayable due to the modulation affecting the t...

I am using sealed bass arrays of 3 per side. I have six 10" scanspeak woofers in total. I aim to operate them from 38hz to 160hz with qtc 0.707I also have a tapped horn that I am using with my current horn system. It is 244cm's high and 125kg's compl...

[quote user="anthony"]I plan to
build a fullrange Melquiades for a friend and then if that works out the DSET 6

That is very good approach in my view. The
problem is in this approach that you have t...

Edgar, I completely miss you in all of your findings and I also was thinking about 15-in toy with a pair of sunspeak passive radiators. Indeed, Tannoys reinforced by sanspeak passive radiators is a magical configuration. I wonder do you dri...

Jarek, I know exactly
how you feel. There is some magic in 10 Read loaded passively to ScanSpeak
SD1 motor with paper cone. The ScanSpeak with this semi-rubber suspension
are not the neutral drivers but they have very pleasant, at least ty my ears...

This weekend wife told me that I should not do nothing else
but to fix my playback and this was exactly what I wanted to do. Yesterday I took
good 14 hours to play with it, moving boxes, trying to find a good
configuration, making measurements, th...
