The next big driver hype: Textreme

Just thought I'd mention it now, since in a few months we are probably going to be seeing a number of drivers, possibly tweeters as well as mids and woofers of this material.

At least one manufacturer, SB Acoustics (think Tekton tweeters, among others) is releasing a line of woofers for DIY and OEM this year.

Fun stuff.


Best,

I've seen measurements comparing it to Zardoz and it does very well.

     What is that....A dream?

      Yes, that's Textreme!

     Sorry, I've been working on their upcoming marketing campaign/blitz non-stop for weeks now and I'm going a bit bonkers.

Thanks guys! That article was really fascinating speedbump6. It will really be interesting to hear speakers with this technology in the future.

I saw the Purifi measurements.  I was more than a little puzzled, as the claim is that the IM distortion is coming from doppler effects, but the Purifi still moves the same way.

Weird.
More to discover
