bache374 posts08-20-2021 3:39pm@erik_squires i use assistant woofer and also assistant supertweeter in all my models bacheaudio to help wide band driver, Adding subwoofer is not help to cover 150 -350 hz. All wide diver and some woofers also got poor ability to reproduce this freg, I dont understand why so many audiophile like full range drivers , No punch, Thin sound
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have not heard the AER's which from what I;'ve read , are the finest wide bands in production...But wayyyyy out my budget, So I'll never owna pair.
The Voxativ AC1A's. were a **dud**.
No bass, none, nada comming from the super thin papyrus paper cone.
I wont even go into the midrange and highs comming from that driver.
This design employs a series of neodymium magnets , like 8, placed along the motor.
Perhaps the origi9nal magnet design is superior,. I have no idea.
I am not interested.
Again at $2300+++ a pair, I am not interested.
I've found the DavidLouis wide band at very reasonable price and am quite happy what i am hearing
I have another pair arriving next week.
WE will see how that one performa snext to the 6.5 DL wide band.
I am planing to run both, stacked.
My speaker system will be
a pair of 6.5's + 8's + The Thors.
I really believe this will give me a classical orchestra experience that I've always been looking for.
Its all about experiementation.
But to answer your Q, sure the older designs, from Lowther, Fostex, had isssues.
With these DavidLouis, I think some of these issues are dealt with.
The lil 6.5 davidLouis (yellow cone) has OK bass, good clean mids, highs that do not roll off too early= a success.
As I say I have the bass and highs already covered.
I can see what Wilson was up to in their designs, packing the cabinet with all sorts of drivers.
Trying to make the thing sound huge dynamic, full bodied, = Best Bang.
Throwing a bunch of drivers in a cabinet is risky, somehwere there is going to be distortion, coloration which may result in listeners fatigue.
I think Erik's OP offers the best option for acheiving full range/wide band fq's.
The speaker's main driver is the wide band.
With a woofer padding the lows, and a tweet padding the highs.
The main dominate voice is from the wide band at a true 91+ db sensitivity.
I am having spectacular results.
AS it is, makes this speaker a winner.
But there was another DL wide band that caught my attention, and we will see how this driver holds up against the 6.5's.
