| Folded tweeters vs. dome? what do you have on the floor, between behind and in front of the speakers?? | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Al - Yes indeed. These are all just rewrite. Since power is proportional to the square of the voltage:(0.5 x 0.5) = 0.25Now, calculating power difference: 10 log (0.25) = -6 dBCalculating voltage difference:20 log (0.5) = -6 dBIn either case, the... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency @cj1965 Where in my post did I mention power? I mentioned the relationship between output dB and input voltage. Having said that, as @almarg has alluded, both formulas are true. Much like P = V x I and P = (V x V) / RThey are mere re-writing of ea... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Thanks @almarg - I should have said "voltage" a few more times I think. Best,E | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Also, we are so far from the OP's original topic, maybe we should let this thread just die. :) | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency For a single driver : The change in dB in input voltage is equal to the change in output SPL in dB. Voltage dB can be calculated in this fashion: dB = 20 x log ( Vnew / Vold )in the case of half the voltage: 20 x log ( 1 / 2 ) ~= (- 6 dB)Also, you... | |
| Folded tweeters vs. dome? OP - We should talk about what you like and dislike about your current speakers then! That may help you get ideas. Also, describe the room, and any acoustic treatments you may have. Often happiness lies there instead.Best,E | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? @tcutter Yep, the Wilson Benesch Vector is a funky beast indeed! Not only are they using no crossover on the midrange, they are using 1st order slopes on the tweeter and woofer, but wait! There’s more! They are also porting the mid-range unit. Not... | |
| Folded tweeters vs. dome? Guess my point is this: For any type of driver technology (Neodynium, Paper, Beryllium, AMT, dome, etc.) there are a wide range of quality and options. Buying a speaker because it has a dome Be tweeter, for instance, is not the way to go. | |
| Folded tweeters vs. dome? I love AMT's and have never heard a GE speaker worth paying money for. I strongly suggest you stay away from this type of buying based on technology. Stick to the results in finished products. Now, if you feel like making your own, then there's lo... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? I'm not sure I follow, @helomech - Usually higher tweeter points are achieved with 3-way systems which use a "true" midrange. Best,E | |
| Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design? Every Thiel I heard was an ear drill, sorry. Maybe it was the McIntosh gear I heard them with? | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? It is not a dispersion pattern for particular speaker but for the group of them. Speakers that have large membrane (2.5 way) will suffer. @kijanki - In what way? For me to believe this, I have to agree that wider = better at all times. I do no... | |
| Most resolving Speaker A large part of a speaker’s resolution is room acoustics, and some of it IMHO may be from drivers that go far from neutral. In the right room, Sander’s Sound ESLs, and Magico are two I appreciate. Some speakers are "resolving" in a way I really do... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? @cedargrover I think you have it backwards. The top two drivers are just a traditional 2-way. The treble covers above 3kHz. The midrange is only covered by the upper woofer. Say it has a low pass at 3 kHz. Up to here, this is a normal 2-way. The a... |
