Full range driver impossible to design and build ?

I'm interested in Cube Audio's cheating version. Full range with subs with an 80/100Hz crossover. I might build a version of it for myself. You can buy the drivers and put them in a sealed box for under $5500 total cost. Then I'd use the 2 x 12" cabinets from my Coincident PREs for the lowest registers. Maybe you lose a bit of the magic of the full range driver by incorporating that crossover, but you also get full extension that way... and no crossover in the most important regions. |
TANNOY dual concentric driver. They pioneered the technology long ago, 1947 to be exact. https://www.tannoy.com/innovation/Dual-Concentric-Driver-Technology.html |
I have to agree with larryi2 on the Charney Audio Horns. Throw out every conventional negative knock about fullrange single driver speakers. Charney Audio horns are designed on the tractrix theory and deliver music that emotionally engage the listener. It’s all there, natural highs, enticing midrange, and proper well defined bass. Not all single drivers are made the same "the better the driver the better the performance". This is true with a properly designed and implemented enclosure. I was very impressed with the inexpensive Lii Audio Fast 8 in the Maestro cabinet designed for smallish rooms. Voxativ drivers shine and AER are absolutely sublime! Detailed, fast, and accurate when mated with high quality electronics. Full disclosure I own a pair of Charney Companion Horns designed for the Omega RS7 driver. Listening to them as I write this. I have owned a number of Omega speakers in the past. Louis does a great job and is an awesome guy to work with. But IMHO the Charney Audio Horns take the RS7 to a much higher level! Hoping to upgrade to a Companion with Voxativ drivers soon. Read about Charney and the tractrix theory here: http://charneyaudio.com/ |
