| Let's talk Tweeters! @audiokinesis While this thread is focused on tweeters, we should realize they provide the least contributions to the music, measured by energy content. Lots of listeners could loose both of their tweeters and not realize it by hearing. :) Also, c... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Thanks Tim!! I'm done with speaker building for a while. I made the speakers they'll bury me with, though I still keep tweaking the crossovers. :) Best,E | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Hey Wolf, A tweet that did not require a crossover would be quite an unusual find for me. Point me at a spec sheet? Is this because of their inherent capacitance? E | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Hey Doug! I think it depends on the ring radiator, but also the designer. A lot of DIY designers cut their teeth on soft dome’s which naturally have a roll-off in the last octave. Switching to a ring with perfect extension past 20 kHz really can b... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Alkaloid,Nothing wrong with that! I’ll take a silk-dome with a strong, modern motor over a lot of poorly implemented Be or AMT’s any day. :) Their natural rolloff also helps with crossover design and prevents harshness. Best,E | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Hi Sean! For those who don’t know, the P7 preamp is unusual in an audiophile preamp for both having a pair of 5.1 channel inputs as well as pretty versatile bass management. I think it’s a matter of the particular circuit choices in the P7, and n... | |
| Replacing some old Bryston 4b/1b combo How about a SS integrated from parasound? :) | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! bgpowell,Cool, what do you think? :) E | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Here’s another example of how different similarly named or looking tech can be. Look at comment #9 regarding the design of the prototype ribbon from Hi-Vi RT-2 for the Carver Amazing loudspeaker:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/300122-bob-... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! I was thinking of something, for those who think I’m a super AMT fan, I’m not, but I have the most experience using them in designs. :) The following is true for me:Some of the worst sounding, and best sounding speakers I’ve ever heard used AMT tw... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! I don't mind talking driver brands... we're unlikely to get a ScanSpeak or Faital troll to show up and start harping on the quantum effects of their drivers. :) Plus it helps to talk about specifics in case we want to point to specifications. :)... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Hey SoundsrealAudio, can we stay off ads for specific speaker brands in this thread please? I really would like to focus on general design theory. As soon as brands get thrown in threads get really dirty. Thanks,E | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! I agree @timlub I also only meant to criticize myself for going off topic, since I had originally only meant to talk about tweeters, but so long as we stay away from bashing specific manufacturers and stick to design principles I guess it's all go... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volley, I'm curious if you have tried the orange Jupiter caps? Specifically made to reproduce vintage sounds. Best,E | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! My current "ideal" system is a 6.5" mid-woofer with subwoofer. This let’s me use significant DSP on the lower 2-3 octaves, but I truly only use it for movies. I would use it all the time but engaging the crossover in the preamp I use (Parasound P... |
