Post Subject: Parallel (U)HF DriversPosted by Paul S on: 11/19/2022
Anthony, I agree with your central observation, and I have used paralleled HF drivers for decades, starting with the old Peerless paper tweeters paired with RTR6 electrostatic arrays, and now paper whizzers with Audaphon ribbons. As you know, this causes "audible and measurable problems" at the istening seat, yet I would not do it if I did not think it "sounds better". I will speak of how and why I have modified this approach if/when I ever finish my own project. I will say now that I think there are several matters at play here that bear on where and how a particular pairing might be most effective in overcoming the "audible and measurable problems" I referred to earlier, whcih don't just go away but need to be trumped by the "sonic benefits" a particularly well-met pair might bring.
Best regards,
