Romy,Now that I am home for a couple weeks after the CES extravaganza I am listening to my system and wondering why I thought I needed a tweeter at all. For me, the problem with experimenting with the e-bay $200 plasma tweeters is the health iss...

.. and I have no problem with “few” of the metal domes implementations. I wonder if David Wilson “preference” for metal domes derives from the fact the he needs an aggressive upper range to get equilibrium to the noise of Wilson ports coming from Wi...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

I came across an article:http://www.ultrahighendreview.com/enigmacoustics-sopranino-super-tweeter-review that introduced electrostatic tweeter that might be interesting. The company has a web site that is to unpleasant to reread/navigate: http://www....

Coops, I less care about the attacks on me, I know that I am a pH-indicator of Moronity among audio freaks. So, if some specific idiots out there are not happy about me then… it is good for me. The higher we climb in mountains the stronger wind and l...

Per your recommmendation at your last visit, wish to try using your injection channel with the Dannoy with my horns.Are you using the tannoy only as a tweeter? If so, would you recommend my removing my tweeter and using only the tannoy's, or use both...

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...
|
|
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...
|
|
Ok, none it is time to dive into the practical process of tweeters alignment. Once again I presume that we are taking about monopole tweeters that use AFTER your midranges compression drivers (read my previous post). Some people use term “supertweete...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1) Whatever it is, in the WLM speakers the PAC driver is not tweeter but a MF driver. My definition of tweeter is that it is a driver that covers frequency range AFTER a MF channel. There is no dedicated M...
|
|
A lot of people ask me about those drivers and I’ll try to compile my vision about them. I did try most of the possible tweeters: dome tweeters with cloth cones, varies type of hard metal domes, compression drivers with aluminum, titanium, phenolic a...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...
|
|
[quote user="el`Ol"] I know the PAC tweeter of the WLM has the best transients and transparency of all tweeters I know and so is the best tweeter above 5kHz I know, although I hated the implementation (crossed far too low, harsh-sounding upper midran...

[quote user="cv"] It looks to me from that he might be using an S2 from around 500Hz or 600Hz up [/quote]
Well, I thought about this configuration and it would be hardly possible in the light of what Kevin does. Let pretend that MF is low-pass...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]An earlier iteration I heard with this two tweeter arrangement sounded seamless & enjoyable.[/quote] So, can you elaborate, or ask Kevin to elaborate what is the “two tweeter arrangement” is for and why he was not able ...

In one if the Brits forums rowuk wrote
about Linaeum diapole tweeters:“Give them their own amplifier, then the efficiency does not
matter. Great amps are not that expensive and with the standard distribution of
acoustical energy, the tweeter does ...

Ending up re-amping my MF channel, I found myself at unexpected situation that I am not completely compostable with Macondo HF. It is not that the HF are bad but they were made to serve the interest of older, slightly softer operating single-stag...

R,
I note you calimed a fondness for certain softdomes; looks like there are some newer scanspeaks that may have the tonal qualities of your favoured types but with higher sensitivity, which will match the Focal well.
Eg: D2904 types at

I plan to attach tweeter in a place of the lense to bellows (I hope thats correct term) used in macro -photograpfhy .They look sturdy enough and should provide 10cm of fine ,easy adjustment and I can buy them cheap ($10) on any photo show. ...

Referring to my very recent acceptance of the 6E6P as a tetrode to drive the tweeter:

user="anthony"]Romy, I'll be digging round in my amps tomorrow and
intend to install a filter for the red tweeter while there. What should I
be aiming for? 7kHz first order from memory, but hoping you can
confirm. Such a filter could be...

Regarding the super tweeter, it surprised me when it surprised Romy, when it turned out to be the fruit and the "keeper" after all his experiments with the 10" Red. Based on my own experience, I like to think I would take a win when one turns up, and...

I wonder why any of the Two Channels playback loudspeakers that

Even at the level of “Absolute Sounds” it fails. ...

Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com

That's one big tweeter, Romy, and, typically, it was made that big only because they intended for it to go low. I keep wondering about the effects of the extra mass, if nothing else, but also about dispersion and window blind effects ...
|
|
Well, it looks like my lack of familiarity with ribbons/planar/isodynamic tweeters made an evil joke with me as the more SA8535 tweeter getting broken in the better it sounds. As now, after near 80 hours it practically free from any negative things t...
