The next big driver hype: Textreme


Just thought I'd mention it now, since in a few months we are probably going to be seeing a number of drivers, possibly tweeters as well as mids and woofers of this material.

At least one manufacturer, SB Acoustics (think Tekton tweeters, among others) is releasing a line of woofers for DIY and OEM this year.

Fun stuff.


Best,

My new Purifi 6.5 is incredible..
Looking now at HiFi Compass.com  for the excellent testing methods of many woofers and tweeters of all brands and materials . An excellent source of up to date information.  Like to see the latest from SB..Tom
 



The shear also travels the basket the flange the baffle and all sides all at different material velocities traveling in near infinite and changing directions. All tied back again to the next wave launch from the voice coil. Tom
It is all about a polarity of shear that travels the cone and returns on both sides of the cone and thru the cone back towards the point of the intial wave launch. The voice coil. How many wave collisions will there be on a flat moving foil.. how many more will there be on a moving cone suspended between at least 2 very different materials and shapes each with their own geometry and shear velocity..many more collisons of waves and eruptions and direction changes.

Implementing a more refined mechanical grounding method that couples the Purifi driver to my cast speaker cabinet. I am able to externally tune the system harmonics much the same as I do with my Grand Concerto endpin system for cello. If Geoff were around and I really hope he is we could discuss the importance of reducing shear wave interference in most everything including all speakers. Tom
