Crossover Points and Augmented Wideband Driver Speakers
Well-Known Member Nov 28, 2019 Add bookmark #29 There are many paths to nirvana. For me, I have chosen to use a wide-band mid-range, augmented. Once I heard the "tone" of a Tang-Band w8-1772 driver, I knew that I wanted it. However, left on it's own merits, to be used "full-range," left a...- henzefan

4" Tang Band bamboo wide band driver covering 500hz - 9,000 hz is superb, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Smaller sibling to the TB 2145. The 2145 as shown in my above video, voices nice deep , punchy bass. Mids very clean, non colored, voices lifelike, separation of instrumentation = super sound...- henzefan

Any better midrange driver than an electostat?
caesar Well-Known Member Apr 10, 2011 Add bookmark #1 I haven't heard anything that comes close, but I haven't heard everything. IMHO, electrostats rule in producing the most realistic sound, other than the bass. Anyone make a driver that is close or better? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...- henzefan

VIP/Donor May 13, 2018 Add bookmark #20 All those so called advantages and aiming for a driver who can do it all , nobody mentions the negatives imo. With a 4 inch driver Starting from 400 or 500 Hz there are also disadvantages , i prefer to use a bigger driver to reproduce those low mid...- henzefan

My exp with Voxativ AC1A, super thin papyrus paper cone, just aweful, thin voice, Just a bomb. Cone material makes or breaks a wide band. 2nd comes the magnet quality.- henzefan

andromedaaudio VIP/Donor May 10, 2018 Add bookmark #9 Wilson for example has probably tried to give the upper midrange more solidity , impact by adding a 4 inch which can may be play up until 3.5 kHz. Finding a unit that can do everything without Breaking up early ain't easy. By the way what...- henzefan

DaveC Industry Expert May 10, 2018 Add bookmark #8 I agree the augmented wideband is a superior design. My speaker covers 400-15,000 Hz at ~102 dB efficiency and using only a single capacitor to limit excursion and an acoustic xo created by the horn at 400 Hz. There is less in the signal...- henzefan

spiritofmusic Well-Known Member May 10, 2018 Add bookmark #4 Sure But by definition an 8” driver won’t reach down as low as a 10.6” driver, and my Zus go down to sub 40Hz full range. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 10 inch will indeed go **lower than*** the 8, but then how much music is below...- henzefan

out the Zus for a stellar horns alternative. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would only trade out my DavidLouis VX8 fora nice horn midrange, But thats not likely to happen as horns are too big and expensive, I'm happy with the wide band, Although I am aware a expensive horn system is super high...- henzefan

Cellcbern VIP/Donor May 6, 2018 Add bookmark #1 Over the years I've owned a number of different speakers - KLH, Cerwin Vega, Polk, Opera Audio, Ars Aures, and Merlin VSM. One thing they all had in common was a crossover point in the 2000 hz (+ or -) range. I've read reviews of speakers where...- henzefan
