Tang Band 2145 in action

bache381 posts09-25-2021 8:18amTake a look my site all my speakers based on Tang Band 2145 with bass
support and supertweeter also. i find this is the best, long time ago. The male voices , piano sound natural and fool body,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will visit your site

100% agreement with your assessment of the 
Tang Band 2145, which I think has a consense as the best of their 3 8 inch WBers.

Might be their latest model.
Voices , life like presence. 
Mids clean, neutral, no muddyness, no  coloration, highs with that aluminum phase pluf extended with sparkles.

*Full body** Yes bass goes low enough (40hz roll off is my guess) rich detailed mis, and highs to say 12k+ hz's. = Nice detailed sound stage.

You know I could be happy with a  single WBer , no assist.
But for padded lows, added *ambience* on the highs, 
Why not. 
As I say, the bass from the added woofer must be as clean and neutral as the TB2145, otherwise there will not be the meshing of both bass fq's. 
What is the fq cut off on your woofers?
What fq does the super tweeter kick in?

Quad 57’s.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Legendary Quad 57’s,
My tech mention this speaker presents the finest midrange he’s ever heard.

Which backs up my hunch these 2 WBers midrange has authority and eloquence.
Equal to any panel/stat’s supreme mid voicing.

~~~Futhermore,, while looking for Bache's links, I notice you left a  customer comment and states all the top class speakers you've auditioed in the past.
Thats quite a  top notch quality of speakers you mention there.

Again , my hunch the midrange in this TB2145  excels over the  mids in the xover low sens types due to inherent weaknesses, which a xover can not mend nor  fix.

OK Found Bache Audio site
His latest 
Bache Audio 002AB, is really full complete total  range speaker.
Thats one heck of a  tweeter.
Only says (Paper Tang Band** not sure which model.

And i am quite sure  the reviewer got it right, beats the Dali and Wilson in the critical midrange....where is counts...
High tech WBers always come out the winners in  seamless lifelike soundstage  in mids,  vs the xover low sens types. 
You can argue that point all you wish, I ain't budging 1 inch on this  doctrine.
 My dogma is based on experience.

Magnesium, worlds best material for midwoofer cone musical resonances.- mozartfan

It's an unfortunate situation where though it's true that magnesium makes for an exceptional sounding mid-bass driver, it corrodes easily, uncoated.
It sounds much better uncoated than coated, or at least that's what was found to be the case with the Seas Excel drivers.

it corrodes easily, uncoated

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I always wondered,,how a cone  is made of magnesium...??? I think of magnesium as some sort of mineral, like stone or something.
The cone has this spongy type feel to it,, PERFECT for absorbing unwanted nasty upper mid fq’s and as well low mid fq.s
But  gives up some deeper/tighter  DRUMs punch that the ScanSpeak Revelator exhibits. 
Small trade off.

OK just looked more closely at

~~~~~~~~~~~Wilson’s Sabrina...
has a 5 inch paper midrange..
Both my tech and I had our share of the old midrange drivers back in the day.
Neither of us cared for any of the dedicated midrange voice.

I am sure Wilson’s mid driver is superior to the old models,, but is no match for the Tang Bands’ xover-less mids.
