I understand someone got good sounding results from  - apparently -  using a certain passive radiator to effectively lower the Fs of a 10" Tannoy Red. Can it be that the Tannoy has a long enough throw that is still damped in line with the rest of it'...

Jarek, I don't know your iteration of Tannoy Red specifically, but if the surround is a pleated continuation of the paper cone then you can't be too careful. It often happens that the paper under the coating is no longer very strong, and it can susta...

I hear you, Romy, too many other things going on to do this full time, like "the old days". To save time and effort, you could try to "repeat" the original Dannoy configuration (same gear and location) and hear if it is "repeatable". If not, you're d...

Looks like the Red 10's are circa 92dB/w/m as an entire "speaker" including woofer.  I've never played with them before, but I wonder how much, if any, SPL is scrubbed from the tweeter by the crossover so that it matches the woofer.  Romy, from what ...
