[quote user="Markus"]I can't really make it out on the photo, but it looks a bit like a Tannoy Supertweeter.[/quote] Yes, it is but my interest is not what kind of brand he used but why he would need an additional tweeter in the first place? The mult...

I'd like to point out that Fostex 500 MKII is very much not sharp and artificial sounding. If anything it's an opposite -little too syrupy , soft and round so it blends with cone mid better than beryllium tweeter. I have no first hand experience with...

Thank you Paul! Yes, I did notice Romy's tweeter movement, he also described it two posts ago. But I have a different room than him (smaller, dead, close walls, etc). I like the HF a lot, esp. with Ortofon cartridges, but I'm missing some air. C...

I think it is absolutely not need to discuss how Fostex tweeter sounds as it might sound like anything. Type of crossovering, type of amplification, type of electricity, type of loading, type of time alignment and the precision of time alignment migh...

I think hearing loss has to do a little bit with excessive HF in todays loudspeakers, with age this is the freq. that is mainly lost, so boosting it a little bit helps that... Most commercial systems exagerate HF mainly to make you think they have...

Thinking about that new supertweeter or tapped horn subwoofer. This picture could give you an idea if something else in the house may be affected........

I had a look at the website and the AU stands for gold (from the periodic table) not Australia. Plus the prices are in pounds not dollars. Interesting turning them in walnut though and I agree totally about the "horns underwear" and industrial thre...

A Fostex wood horn instead of the ugly metal monstrum plus a Fostex supertweeter on top would give a nice look.And you could let a 2" Radian run against a 2" Eighteensound Aluminium driver. I would be very interested in the outcome of this competitio...

This makes a lot more of sense to me. I understood you wrongly and I believed that the product "as is" and a priori can be interesting as a whole. I think that the design is interesting for the horn implementation, the horn themselves (look quite sol...
|
|
I find it pointless discussing the "sound" of a drive unit as it will be totally dependent on the implementation within the system.
I will say the ET-703 is best seen as a supertweeter, and used to cover only the top half octave and the ultrasonic...

Hi. I got different oppinion bout the XO.For sure it has influence on the lobing. Definately, depending on which filter type u use, it will create different on- and off axis response.E.g. i like cutting the supertweeter at 8k with butterworth even or...

agh..well.. i can see that you'd never be over for a beer and listen session, romy! not that i wouldn't invite a curmudgeon such as yourself.. but my own system might not make the cut!i just finished off a little 2 way bms/altec system (and i d...

I have just taken out of my system a First Watt F5 clone Tim Rawson amp, It was substituted by a Telefunken PP amp with 6AQ5 tubes. Let me to explain.
My system consists of 6 way horn loaded speakers. I have a round Tactrix...

[quote user="haralanov"] For some unknown reasons, he later decided to change it with the sharp and artificial sounding fostex supertweeter. What might be his motivation? Logically appears the following question – is that Goto supertweeter so hor...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system. [/quote]Yes, Romy, the upperbass channel is absolute mandatory. My comments were only about the particular driver, nothing more than...

the sad truth was the space, the finite funds, and the available bms pucks! the sad truth also, i suppose,the lack of available, and sensitive horn users to bounce off of!i could probably see what your dislike of the bms stems from-- i tried to...

The RAAL’s Alex is trying to undertake a task of horn-loading of his ribbons. I am not a big enthusiast of the idea. I am not quite sure how Alex will combine in one driver the requirements of super-tweeter and a horn-loaded MF driver, not to mention...

Just how important are subharmonics and undertones in audio, and how they affect tone? I played around for a while with the Townshend supertweeters, this is a ribbon tweeter that you can barely listen to: you plug it in and put it next to your...

and this is the huge decision.. although Steve and Rich's drivers do have the potential for extremely wide bandwidth, I feel that the first decision when designing a horn speaker is to decide how many horns and the corresponding crossover points...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...
