[quote user="guy sergeant"]What you say may be true. I'm not sure there was an amplifier available in the mid to late 1980's that would have been suitable for these. They did get good reviews but I suspect that some of this was due to awe inspired by...

After spending two weeks with high-passed Celestion SL-600 reinforced with external LF section I would like to make some observations. I had a single SL-600 monitor (I always tend to use one for assessment purpose) on it’s original stands in the very...

Klipsch Jubilee using Celestion Axi2050 compression driver. https://celestion.com/product/axi2050/
On the page you have video showing construction of the driver, claiming unique cone and waveguide shape, and no need for using crossover.

Here is what I substitute the Celestion original copper. It is Linaeum Lweeter modified by Bud Purvine from Seattle. I do appreciate the Celestion copper tweeter more – when it is new and works properly, but I have no copper tweeters anymore. The Lin...

I think I have too much time on my hands or use my time in highly stupid fashion but I decided to do today the experiment about witch I was thinking for a while. The experiment was “methodology clean” and lead me to quite interesting discoveries. Sin...

From the Macondo to the Celestion SL600 !I cannot think of two speakers that could be more different in terms of design philosophy and (I imagine) the presentation of music.If you can get any noise out of the SL600's I'll be interested to hear what y...

Hi all,This thread has been a facinating read for me, and has prompted me to resurrect my old Celestion SL600 speakers.But their copper dome tweeters are looking (and sounding) rather worse for wear.Does anyone know where I could source them from?Any...

Well, you already paid once to condition (heat or cool) that air, so the ticket here might be filtered recirculation rather than true exhaust, at least, if you are as "thrifty" as I am.Yes, I would imagine the Dunlavys would be more satisfying than t...

I wonder how far one could get to the traditional horn ideal (low-ranging compression driver plus some metal shimmer on top) with a BMS neodymium pure mid driver and a Celestion/Eighteensound/Beyma with aluminium diaphragm.BTW, something with berylli...

[quote user="nietzscheflake"] I am also thinking about how to get that headphone sound in my house and am contemplating the horn route… [/quote]
It ‘s fine but never forget that the imitation of headphones sound is NOT something that need to b...

Yeah, they are my own experiments so I am the only one that need to care. They are based on your earlier work, so I felt like writing and tell you what I am doing with your ideas. The drivers we use may be superior or inferior. As long as mine are t...

I'm glad you had the opportunity to look into the G10. I find it to be a very intellectually satisfying material, which (to this sick mind) is important. G10 is a material that reminds a person of cleanliness, stability, perfect cons...

Roman wants to "test" other amps on the monitors .It is quite impossible on tri-amped Macondo-maybe he will become a rewiever -heheheh. I can assume that Macondo is so absorbing that it is impossible to just play a background music or work and not to...

Hi Pete,You have a similar size room to me. I'd rather like a large 4 or 5 way setup but don't have the space. I use the S2's (in barbaric stylee) in damped RH330's. Beneath them I use a frontloaded (folded) bass horn Vitavox made called the Oracle. ...

I too want a monitor speaker to play with, especially for amplifier experimentation.I put another 4" Fostex in a sealed "box" (globe actually) and crossed it over at 150hz to one SS 25w/8565 on the side. Wishful thinking? -Yes.About 88-90dB sensitive...

Hi Dominic,
I have some Rola's. Although intended (in organs etc) for quite widerange use I'm not sure that for listening to music they should be allowed to go too high. The other thing I found was that what lower frequencies they produced were more...

I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph.I have also seen the inside of the tweeter.They are very similar,so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different.I'll try to explain.I think they a...

I am using the Celestion Axi-periodic compression driver in the KLIPSCH K402 horn which I have boosted considerably when I noticed that the top one and one-half octaves were barely working when playing music so I figured WHY NOT? and it works just f...

[quote user="hagtech"] For a single driver, looks to me like you need an input signal of at least 3Vrms. A lot of linestages can do that, so a single tube power amp seems both reasonable and interesting. [/quote]
What actually I discovered the...

This driver looks interesting, it has aluminum diaphragm and neo magnets, it doesn't specify if it has a plastic suspension though.
