Intriguing Speakers From Germany
@decooney . No worries. I thought you had used the same woofer from their mtm. Just wondering what it was.  
Intriguing Speakers From Germany
@decooney which midbass or woofer is he using in the mtm?  
Should I upgrade my Advent 5002 speakers?
I believe that there ar 2 caps, 2 coils and 1 resistor in the 5002's.  Replace the 7uf and the 32uf electrolytic with a decent mkp (polypropylene).... Even cheap mkp will be an audible improvement over the 40 year old electrolytic. I believe the r... 
Technics 1200 w/ AT440ML/OCC ... BENT!
@martinman  A good friend worked for AT. I have 2 of these, 1 has never been mounted... maybe trade something?  
ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic
I am listening to a 12 inch woofer and ESS AMT from an ESS Eclipse B122 right now. Finished the build about 2 weeks ago. Bill Holman Brilliant Corners sounds wonderful. Of course I don't have the budget constraints of a main line consumer speaker ...

Driver Testing - reduced output
@cdtd   You do need to completely disconnect the woofer before testing. The battery will tell you if the coil is good, If it pops/moves, you really should still check it with an ohm meter...... I’ve never been inside of this speaker, but I’ve been... 
Connecting Piezo-electric Tweeters
@est812 I have done alot of work with Piezo’s. It sounds like you are using a crossover with these. Is that correct? Piezo’s have their own inherent rolloff without a crossover. 2x6 and the round expedential horns are the best. 2x6 without a cros... 
solid core VS stranded for inside speaker cabinet
Solid core on your woofers,  stranded on your tweeters    
Found some new music, just sharing
You are correct,  I like  Manu Katche quite a bit,  which album do you suggest that I start with?

@tablejockey     Sorry,  not sure what you meant by that, I had no "desire" or expectation.  Wish you the best and that is not sarcasm.    
Found some new music, just sharing
@tablejockey Well, I would agree with that. I do enjoy his music, but I really posted this because it is a very good recording. Clean, very detailed. Soundstage is decent, bass is tight and abundant. Will Ackerman that started Windham Hill said ...
