In the Thread: Tweeter for Vitavox S2. High-sensitively ribbons?
Post Subject: ...coming to think of itPosted by Gregm on: 10/25/2006
and having run through this discussion it seems to me that most tweets are crap -- in that they're stand alone, not easily mated with other quality drivers: the moment you end up with a higher sensitivity, good performance (or better) MF, you're doomed. Either you try 69.000 tweets and hope for sonic matching, or you forgo the tweet altogether. You can of course compromise: it's "almost there". I've heard this myriads of times from diyers (and some manufacturers as well). It always remains "almost there". It never "gets there".
Put another way, it looks to me like one is obliged to find a tweet one can bear/like/don't want to run away from, and then build a speaker around it. But then you may not like what is available for the rest of the bunch. So, of course, you go heavy on the region up ~10-11kHz and hope to find a solution thereafter.
As noted before, if only there were someone ready to provide the solutions, I could be another source of money. In fact, if I could just say to s/one what I want, and that s/one would do the implementation...
I'm ready to provide examples and refs, to sit with him/her, to try out things, whatever, to help out -- as long as he listens.
