Can someone guide me as to what Single driver ??


I am interested in single driver speakers as I have owned 30 pairs of the major brands over the last 20 years, and have gone through upgrade fever over and over. I have been reading good things about SD with set amps which I own, I would only like to spend < 1500$ if posible ALso, can you add a top loading super tweeter to the binding posts to boost the highs?? recommedations? Seems to be a cult thing.

Check out Omega Loudspeakers. They mostly use Fostex drivers and sound very interesting.

Seems like installing a super tweeter in parallel is going to hurt your speaker's high impedance. That may not be a good thing but you will probably just have to try it yourself to see if it really works. Arthur
Bbchem,

Tell us a little bit about your system, your room and your musical preference. This may help with a recommendation.

FWIW, I'm currently using a single driver speaker built using the Hemp Acoustics FR8.0DIY driver. It is the first affordable single driver speaker I've ever heard that I could live with. In my room it has great bass response and the treble response is good enough that I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

My speakers were a DIY for a review in The Ultra-Fi Times webzine. You could easily reproduce them for about $600-$700. They are a very easy build. Here is a link to my speakers:

Omega makes a similar speaker that looks better on paper than mine. It is called MaxHemp. It is much more expensive, but it is factory built and looks beautiful. Mine aren't so great looking and would look out of place in a nice livingroom.

Enjoy,

if you've owned 30 pairs of speakers and haven't been satisfied, the 31st pair won't get you there....no matter what design it is.....enjoy what you've got, whatever it is...or just stop for a while.
