Well, the game with a “better” 10" bass driver is over. After years of mind looking for the 10” light-coned, papered 20Hz drivers with higher sensitivity and after a month of quite active searching for such a driver I concluded that such a driver jut...

Haralanov,
Here some raw cements of my on it, without any particular order of importance….
1) Sand damping it beautiful, it is well-recognized, but you do pay cost for it, in your case the cost is space. Sand is very little compressibl...

[quote user="Chirag"]Outside of the already constructed bass towers, is there a reason you are looking exclusively for 10" drivers? I have heard a pair of stacked 15" Lambda's on each side supplementing/providing bass to lower midbass under som...

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

Thanks Paul, but it's much easier for me to order Scanspeaks 25W-8565-00 than chase that Tesla, which I've just done. I'll try two modules with 2 drivers each. ...

Hi Romy,So it is time to think about the bass output transformer in my DSET. My bass channel will be 8 x 25W/8565-00 each side set in a sealed box and will cover the frequency range below say 100Hz. These drivers can be wired anywhere between 1R an...

Well, I kind of begin to think what kind LF solution I might
have in the new room. The ULF might be fun to load on the ceiling in the way
how I described above. For the midbass I most likely will go for the

...do you use? Scan Speak 25W/8565-00? Do you also feel that the reduced 2cu feet volume works better than the original 3cu? I've just acquired a pair of nice looking Reds and think of moving slowly forward. My listening space is quite small.

Thanks Romy,
