.. and I have no problem with “few” of the metal domes implementations. I wonder if David Wilson “preference” for metal domes derives from the fact the he needs an aggressive upper range to get equilibrium to the noise of Wilson ports coming from Wi...

Romy,Now that I am home for a couple weeks after the CES extravaganza I am listening to my system and wondering why I thought I needed a tweeter at all. For me, the problem with experimenting with the e-bay $200 plasma tweeters is the health iss...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

I came across an article:http://www.ultrahighendreview.com/enigmacoustics-sopranino-super-tweeter-review that introduced electrostatic tweeter that might be interesting. The company has a web site that is to unpleasant to reread/navigate: http://www....

Coops, I less care about the attacks on me, I know that I am a pH-indicator of Moronity among audio freaks. So, if some specific idiots out there are not happy about me then… it is good for me. The higher we climb in mountains the stronger wind and l...

Per your recommmendation at your last visit, wish to try using your injection channel with the Dannoy with my horns.Are you using the tannoy only as a tweeter? If so, would you recommend my removing my tweeter and using only the tannoy's, or use both...

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...

I would like to pass some summarizing observations and some generalizations regarding the entire “Water Drop” project.
THE IDEA
The idea of trying to find a tweeter to compliment Macondo was a good idea. Many of you know that I was proudly declari...

Ok, none it is time to dive into the practical process of tweeters alignment. Once again I presume that we are taking about monopole tweeters that use AFTER your midranges compression drivers (read my previous post). Some people use term “supertweete...

There are many threads on my site where I covered the subjects of Tweeter for my Macondo and particularly the moment of integration the tweeters with Vitavox S2 compression driver. Since a few months ago I altered my idea to use the EV T-350 tweeter ...

There is a German company called Expolinear ,wchich started to make ribbon tweeters based on bulgarian research .They make model RT7 pro with neodymium magnet and 100 dB /8 Ohm. I have a pair of their low efficient ribons (~88- 90 dB) with alnico 5 m...

R,How are you crossing over the SA tweeter?Cheerscv...
|
|
Ok, I removed the series cap from the amp output and made it as it should be – pure parallel. To my great satisfaction the little “dirty inflictions” that I got in Vitavox are gone and now the S2 as clean as it should be. I presume in the former sett...

I was listening light night the Charles Ives’ Fourth Symphony by the kids of American Symphony Orchestra and Members of Schola Cantorum under the baton of probably 180 years old Leopold Stokowski. Ives music is not exactly my cap of tea but I hardly ...
|
|
BTW, I would like to mention one more opportunity for the folks who are playing with S2 driver.
There is another interesting tweeter option: use the HF section of the Tannoy’s dual concentric drivers (only form 50s-60s). The design of those drivers ...

[quote user="Paul S"] Speaking of "blowing", I have also made the fatal-to-the-ribbon mistake of trying to gently blow a speck of dust off one of them. Don't try this at home![/quote]
[quote user="Paul S"]No doubt …. there's still likely to be...

Over the course of the last month we have a numerous communication with the RAAL’s Alex. With all my “accuracy” handling of the “Water Drop” tweeters I have eventually terminally damaged the ribbons on my left channel and I asked Alex to send me ribb...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I had today a conversation with RAAL’s Alex and he pinched to me a very interesting idea. He feels that I attenuate the outpit of my “Water Drop” too much. I have no doubts that I attenuate it as much as necessary and Alex ...

[quote user="Merlin"]Well firstly on those, the tweeter is not offset to one side - it appears to be time aligned directly behind the midrange horn and upper bass unit. Secondly, that's a JBL 2405.[/quote]I do not know which driver the Living Voce us...

Dear CatThey do not shout or go hard when pushed.Metallic sounds such as cymbals and percussion instruments are the most life like.It also brings immediacy to the sound of speakers.Like you have said in another thread how speakers are the worst link,...

Dear SteveThe beauty of Plasma Tweeters are that they can reproduce 5k onwards to (I was told) 60kHz. I have a pair of the Coronas which I run in a tri amp set-up with independant remote volume control.My main speakers are full range S...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

I have to admit I have no idea and did not experiment with matching horn loaded tweeter to big ,direct radiating "extended range' MF channel. I'm not sure it's doable. I was speculating on the reasons why the owner of Moscow instalation switched from...

Below is a sketch of the main frame, that Russ made for me based on our original discussions many months ago, consisting of the support for the UB115 horns and missing some finishing details such as bevelled edges, top end feature, holes for hori...

Most plasma tweeters rely on Klein ionophone. More interesting is reversible (act as microphone too) Ostroumov ionophone that unlike Klein does not produce RF noise. It uses 10kV polarisation voltage for electrodes and 100V for musical signal on ...

Romy's quotes in blue:"...It feels that there is very little room for the tweeter to breathe. It is not the narrow firing tweeter and I think you might give to it a little bit more room..."Yes I was thinking the same thing, and the frame does offer p...

[quote user="Markus"]There's no plasma tweeter on the Cessaro. The tweeter is the TAD ET-703. The HK owner has a gold-coloured horn for the tweeter, but there's no plasma driver. I'm pretty sure the horn on the Lansche plasma tweeter is a good bit la...

Just noticing this.I have a pair of those VIAWAVE tweeters if you are interested in them.Have no need for them....

Here are some images how I resolved my EV-T350 tweeter along with a transition slope attenuator.
