Tang Band 2145 in action


Ck out the sunning , sparkling highs.
WOWWW
Hardly need to add a  tweeter. = can if you wish. just add any of your fav tweets, +  with a  simple 2.2 or 3.3 cap.

As I said previously, both the TB2145 ad DLVX8 both are very close in performance.
can't go wrong with either.

Truly a   magical sound image.
Jazz fans especially take note of this speaker.
You always wanted life like sound stage, with no added baggage???
'Well  the TB2145 has your order.

Lets say foolish to be so stuck on a  idea that may just have run its course, Foolish  in the sense the new tech may be something superior,, and not even taking the time to ck it out as a  possiblity to what they have in their systems.
I see a  sense of stubborn resistance.
There is no discussion of wide bands on this site, Its almost like a  low sens xover cult religion around this forum.
Its like low sens/xovers are the ultimate,,, our idols...
Whereas I see it as hadicapped garbage. 
I;'m done with half music, with distortion/stress, , with fatigue, with coloration.
Low sens speakers are handicaped. 
If I ever research speakers in the future (which i have no more plans to, after spending years trying to figure out the solution to the issues with the Seas Thors)),, I'd never even consider any low sens/xover types, Not even a  speck of interest in anything low sens/xover.
For me its all 100% WBers 
Or nada.
Xover /low sens  single drivers  only for added bass/highs.  Stage hands, the tenors and sopranos are the WBers.
Please refer to the topic
**low sens speakers what in the heck is just so super specuial about them???**
Los sens = all xover Seas Scanspeak types.
A-Z = Low sens
90db below
WBers 90db+
List the top 3 advantages  of owing a  WBer speaker.
List the top 3 reasons owning a  Low  db sensitivity 

List the 3 reasons NOT to employ a  WBer as main speaker in your system. A-Z
List the 3 reasons not to own a  Vandersteen, Wilson, Thiel, Magnepan, Sonus Faber.  KEF, Warfdale, Focus,  A-Z 
Any takers?? 

.....well waiting...Guess not....
I know why no answes....
No competition, where it really counts,, =  The  real true musical image.
Been a  member here 20 years ago, seeking.. 
No solid real answes to my search.
I found  it niow. 
had to figure things out on my own, I recall my topic, Shooyout OK Corral. 
About 100 pages long.. Some good info. But nothing that would help me connect the dots, Pleanty of ggood posts,. 
But not one that could connect the dots.
Well its 20 yrs now, and finally I figured out how these WBers work.
Via experiemention and reflecting exactly whats going on with these speakers.
Vs My Seas Thors.

The Best  of one class, vs the best of the other. 
Only 1 gun slinger is left standing.
RIP Seas. 
I've resurrected you to a  place of adding some low fq's. 
Your magnesium cone is 2nd to none. 
But sadly your low sens is no match for a  high tech WBer. 


What led me away 20 yrs ago from considering a WBer as my speaker of choice, , is that folks were posting something about a WBer needing SET amps..
It may be partly true
I’ve not heard a SET, But I don’t think I’ll like the 845 sound.
I prefer the EL34/KT88 type tube
Truth is, you can drive a WBer with just about any amplifer.
From the Jadis JA 800 4 chassis, 500 watts, all the way down to a SET 10 watt.
It certianly would be a waste of amp power to match a WBer 92 db sens to the JA800, wasted 490 watts.

There seems to be lack of understanding what the WBers are all about, how they perform and what are their potentials ina  set up with other low sens drivers as assist mode. 
This is a  whole new field waiting for discovery and developments. 
IMHO  this set up is the speaker of choice for the 21st C audiophile.
We just need more adventurers, more experimentations.
Seems the Thors dual W18's will be useful afterall.
Adding nice bottom end to the DavidLouis VX8. 
MORE than enough deep rich bass. Especially with my added EL34 amp, which has more bottom than the Defy .
But then i should say the Defy has kt88's that have 3k++ hours,,   this may be a factor  in Defy's lower performance vs the Dynaco clone ST70, with huge trans. 

Its high tgime these low sens speaker get exposed, 
Considering Stereophile has been pushing the snakeoil  on these speakers past 20 years. 
Will we see Stereophile reviewing a  WBer? 
Not going to happen.
