Re: Some driver tests

Pleasure. Hopefully will be hauling a few more out of my store over the next few days. I have to admit, even running just T/S and impedance (former largely derived from latter) I'm very impressed with the little Silver Flutes and the Peerless 8in in particular. You can certainly beat them, but they ...

Re: Some driver tests

...at times like this, I could weep. Peerless ['by Tymphany', give me strength] HDS 830869. What a nice, quite affordable 8in driver it was. 'Was', because of course Tymphany have more or less pulled out of the DIY market, so it's a case of 'get them if you can'. Yes, there is an alternative that le...

Re: Some driver tests

And another. One I've known well for a long time: Fostex FF85wk. ff85wk.jpg A nice little relatively high efficiency (for size / type) 3in wideband / fullrange with a modern (non-rotting) foam roll surround and a multi-layer paper cone, using a long-fibre base with charcoal-impregnated short-fibre k...

Re: Some driver tests

Next up, this little beast: DT-25N.jpg This is the Monacor DT-25N, a very compact, relatively inexpensive 1in horn-loaded dome tweeter with a neodymium slug magnet. Claimed resonant frequency is 1.6KHz, I measured two random samples as 1.4KHz - 1.45KHz. Not bad. The connection tabs are so miniscule ...

Re: Some driver tests

I put all four units through my DATS setup. Drivers are from Dave's stock & he's confirmed they're 'as received' (other than his sealing the cones) without any kind of pair-matching or other running. I've broken them in with varying LF sines to rated 1-way Xmax, and prior to testing they were ru...

Some driver tests

Since I sometimes get drivers through here for testing, for the sake of interest, I thought I'd add a handful here when I get chance. First up: my friend Dave has very kindly sent me a package of interesting units from his stock that he (rightly) thought I'd be interested in playing with. The 2 pair...

Re: Edingdales

Ah, the MCRU 127. :) As Colin says, not an Edingdale, but that's far from a negative as it was an entirely new, ground-up design for MCRU, only sharing the basic configuration. The 127 runs 5 1/2in Seas midbass units in the midbass array with a dedicated cabinet design & bass alignment, a magnet...

I actually do have several bat recordings, but I thought they might be esoteric.

Hmm. A Steve Wilson remix of what was arguably Trevor Horn's early '80s production masterpiece.

Brave.

...but 'ill-advised'. ;)
