Tang Band 2145 in action

Not for me

How can you say not for me, when you've never in your life hearda  wide band, most likely never will. 
There is alot of narrow mindedness in audio these days.
I'm so glad I was true to my ancestral spirit and started tinkering with wide bands.
No help here I can see that.
had to make the discovery all on my own efforts.
You guys want to live as cave men in things of audio, go right ahead.
Like Plato wrote, Socrates says mankind lives as if in a    dark cave, just barely seeing a  pin point of light at the opening
YET thinking he is in the light. 
Deceived and deluded.
so true what he wrote back 2600 years ago, true then, more so true today.

Jack Anita ?

pretty sure she doesn’t go by that…..

The wire nuts are priceless.

You got me.  I'm jealous of your passion and never say die  attitude. Your belief that your 40 years of some kind of involvement in audio trumps the at least 500 years of combined experience of the forum members both hobbyist and professional gives me hope . So don't give up!  If you say it  with enough conviction and repeat it enough times it will become the truth.
I don't like the sound of your speakers yet but I didn't like asparagus either but after a while my weird smelling pee made it worthwhile.

The best wide-bander is still probably the Altec 755 8-inch. 55hz to 8khz. 90+ db sensitivity. You will still need to add a tweeter for the last two octaves using a first-order crossover. The late Art Dudley owned a pair and reviewed them for Stereophile. He mounted each 755 in a large sheet of plywood - open baffle style. Bass as expected rolled-off at 55hz. Art liked the clarity of the midrange and didn't miss having a tweeter! He remarked that the 755 has a cult following that has driven up the prices. I sold my pair in excellent condition for $650 - about what I paid for them! Now I wish I hadn't done that!
