I`ve had many small ribbons in my system over the years and I don`t like them. True, they are without competiton above a few Khz, but how to find a decent partnering midrange? They represent unnecessary fragmenting of the musical spectrum (a typical ...

[quote user="Paul S"]By far the most promising planar speakers I've heard have been the giant Sound Lab models. These use an assortment of variously-sized "tuned" planes comprising one larger, "curved" plane. However, ...

For those seeking some decent compression drivers that don`t cost fortune, I can suggest to try the Eighteen Sound ND1460A compression driver. It has aluminum dome and polyester suspension and 1,4 inch exit throat. Does it sound like S2 ? Probably no...

[quote user="vuki"]I was also in Munich this year. Cessaro had one of the best sounding systems at the Show, but I thought I could hear some droning bass from BLH. Of course it could also be the room, but somehow I doubt it - I have heard few (some e...

JBL 2441 also seems interesting candidate, perhaps "smoother" than 2440:Duke LeJeune of Audiokinesis recommends them as a "poor man`s TAD"Beyma CP755ND/AL 1.4"http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP755NdAL.pdfSome interesting alu...

Perhaps I am asking for trouble, but did anyone had any experience with those SE mosfet creations made by Susan Parker?Preamp uses Romy`s beloved 6C33C tube and the 10W power amp has two transformers, two resistors, one mosfet and that`s pretty much ...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have been to assistance audio`s website, however was unable to find such model, but is possible they just disassembled the tweeter or whatever.This is really interesting news, about their violin reproduction, me too wou...

judging from your draving, they appear to be bipolar operating tweeters and not dipole. While I generally do favour the horn approach above all the others,sometimes I do wish the whole reproduction would be less "dry" and bringing in some wide beamin...

Another bogus idea.If a perfect upper bass could be achieved by means of spherical (approx. 1m diameter horn), what would be the next acceptable solution,if space considerations do not allow big horns? Perhaps that could be a line array of small dire...

I always thought there are only two basically interesting approaches to the sound reproduction:- eliminating the room effect as much as possible with a controlled disperssion of a forward firing horn- or completely include room (a bogus idea, I know)...
