| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Trelja...I read Andy2 comment to be saying that expensive systems have midrange drivers (suitably small) whereas less expensive speakers are 2-way.I think that a 6.5 inch driver will have some problems in the 1500 to 3000 Hz range. (Check Nighthaw... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Trelja...The system you describe can cross over to the "Midrange" driver at 200 Hz because it is a 6.5 inch ubit, which I would not describe as a midrange driver. I would describe the system as a 8 inch subwoofer that can be crossed over at 200 Hz... | |

| Voltage conversion from 220V to 110V. A schoolmate of mine nearly killed himself (really) with a Heathkit Geiger counter. Although the construction manual warned about the high voltages he figured "four D cells...how dangerous can it be?" Well those D cells fed a chopper and voltage s... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver The midrange driver range that I suggested (600 to 3000) is based on what I have seen done in three way speakers. I think that Nighthawk agreed with me, and provided all the details.If you suggest that a woofer is good to 2500Hz, what's wrong with... | |
| How do YOU find the hole? Sean...I know that I have seen writeups on all the angles and forces involved with a pivoting arm. In fact a lecture I went to about how to set up a pivoting arm is what convinced me to go to linear tracking. It is impossible to get everything rig... | |
| advantage or disadvantage going biwire vs single Probably not...but if you want to try biwire, experiment with cheap wire. If you don't think there is a difference you will have wasted few dollars.I biwired my MG1.6 using small, AWG24, (cheap) wire for the tweeters so as to eliminate need for a ... | |
| How do YOU find the hole? Sean ...Are you backsliding? I thought you had linear tracking arms. | |
| Voltage conversion from 220V to 110V. Jea48...Polarity of the AC power should be of no concern because the rectifier makes it into DC anyway. Power transformers that I have worked with don't even identify the primary and secondary winding wires as to polarity, so, short of running a t... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Wait a minute! a "Midrange" driver, by definition lives in a three-way system (at least). The 6 and 7 inch drivers in two-way systems are not midrange drivers, although they do need to pinch-hit for the missing driver. Even the best 7-inch drivers... | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver No driver over about 4" is capable of upper midrange frequencies without cone breakup. (Breakup means that different parts of the cone are vibrating differently instead of moving as a rigid piston). Cone breakup is not a complete disaster, but ten... | |
| Voltage conversion from 220V to 110V. Jea48...The "neutral" (white) wire in our 110 volt system is connected to ground only back at the fuse/breaker box. In the electronic equipment the input power goes only to the transformer primary winding which is floating (not connected to ground... | |
| Voltage conversion from 220V to 110V. Jea48...Why would heat be different for 50Hz and 60Hz AC power? Both would have the same RMS value. I think that 50 Hz would theoretically require more capacitance in the power supply filter, because the ripple would be at a lower frequency. But I... | |
