I am not talking about these speakers specifically but rather concrete enclosures in general. Are you suggesting that any thickness of concrete will ring? Hard for me to think of a better, relatively inexpensive material to use in a speaker. I will await your solution and response.
Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?..
Could concrete speaker enclosures give us the most realistic sound ?

hdcls Regarding horns: the room matters. I have had Altec 604Cs for ... 43 years now. They DID sound a little horny (tsk tsk) at first (and I have stayed with these speakers because at my price point, to my ears there is nothing that comes close to their performance), but as the other components improved the condition improved. I am now in a semi-anechoic room, and the condition has largely disappeared. |
In addition to concrete transmission line speakers, Rauna of Sweden also made a small pair of bookshelf monitors with a front bass reflex port - Rauna Tyr II’s. Picture Vandersteens but only 13” tall weighing 30 Lbs each and going down to 40-45 Hz. I first heard them in the mid 80’s and was blown away! I found 2 pairs of them in the last couple of years and refinished the rosewood tops & mdf bottoms and they are Excellent & very fun speakers. If you find a pair, most likely the wrap around foam grills have have disintegrated but that can be purchased and make sure you get the Tyr II, not the original Tyrs. The Tyr II’s had binding posts on the back, original Tyrs underneath. |
