| Gobel and the Bending Wave @atmasphere - I'm not a Linaeum historian, the only tweeter I know them from was the butt-cheek like driver made famous by Radio Shack. If they also made an AMT that would be news to me. Let me know if you find a link to one. Best,E | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave The Linaeum tweeter is a flexible membrane and is excited at the center with the sound wave emitting off the surface as the wave travels from the center to the edge. Right, and if that is accurate, the Linaeum would be a bending wave device but by... | |
| Speakers I have Two in mine?? Room treatment?? | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave That’s fine theoretically but in practice the bottom ported Ohm Walsh driver produces sound both pistonically and via wave bending at the same time. But not at the same frequencies. That's what I mean by simultaneously. It is a bending wave t... | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave it woukd seem apparent that the cone cannot be a "rigid" piston. In that case, we do not describe it as pistonic. :) The term comes from the theoretical ideal of having a piston with a flat, infinitely rigid surface, exactly like a piston, operat... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I hope this thread gets preserved for all time, exactly as is. | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave I don’t have a problem with the text regarding Ohm Walsh. I have a problem with this self contradictory line: Walsh style drivers are essentially specially designed cones that operate pistonically just like traditional dynamic drivers. Pistonical... | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave Yeah, if you say so. | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave @mapman You should read your own posting. Your quoted text directly contradicts your first sentence. | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave Are AMTs/folded ribbon drivers bending wave? As I define it, the bending wave is defined by a membrane where one end or point is excited, causing a wave to form on the membrane which tavels to the extremities. A cone, driven pistonically, endeavor... | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave Right, and I see no evidence that this 8" driver is being used in any other way than pistonic, especially given crossover points. Mind you, these are very good parts and the speaker may be amazing. I'm just scratching my head over what appears to ... | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave Sorry, AMT is not bending wave, Atmasphere. It's motion is pistonic, although at an angle. :) IMHO, to be a bending wave, the transducer must be excited at one end, and have the sound wave emit off the surface as the wave travels from one end to t... | |
| Gobel and the Bending Wave For historical context, the Ohm Walsh down firing drivers were some of the earliest "bending wave" drivers if not the first. There have also been other attempts at creating mega speakers from bending wave type of drivers like this one from Impact ... | |
| Who are the Kings of Audiogon? I just want to declare that from now on I am absolutely going to step up my game.Erik | |
| Fan on Amp Unbeatable You know, fans are quieter, especially when new now. :) Cheap too. |
