Tang Band 2145 in action
Magnesium, worlds best material for midwoofer cone musical resonances.- mozartfanIt's an unfortunate situation where though it's true that magnesium makes for an exceptional sounding mid-bass driver, it corrodes easily, uncoated. It sounds much better uncoated than coated, or at least that's what was found to be the case with the Seas Excel drivers. |
it corrodes easily, uncoated ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I always wondered,,how a cone is made of magnesium...??? I think of magnesium as some sort of mineral, like stone or something. The cone has this spongy type feel to it,, PERFECT for absorbing unwanted nasty upper mid fq’s and as well low mid fq.s But gives up some deeper/tighter DRUMs punch that the ScanSpeak Revelator exhibits. Small trade off. OK just looked more closely at ~~~~~~~~~~~Wilson’s Sabrina... has a 5 inch paper midrange.. Both my tech and I had our share of the old midrange drivers back in the day. Neither of us cared for any of the dedicated midrange voice. I am sure Wilson’s mid driver is superior to the old models,, but is no match for the Tang Bands’ xover-less mids. https://www.stereophile.com/content/wilson-audio-specialties-sabrinax-loudspeaker-specifications |
Take a look my site all my speakers based on Tang Band 2145
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just did. I really like your latest 002AB model. I'm sure your Fostex tweet matches the Dali super tweets. In bass I;'m sure your bass drivers match/surpass Wilsons' dual woofers. But again, for my needs in classical music, its all about midrange. Here is where you gain the advantage with the Tang Bnad 2145,,,on your site you mention **Tang band paper driver***, no where did I see 2145.. You might want to update that bit of info.. This way potential buyers know the driver is not the 1808 and 1772. Its my hunch the 2145 is the superior speaker. vs its 2 siblings, 1772/1808. Great work on your true full ---complete total--- fq design Sens is super high, fit for any amplifier. I'm running the Tang Band 2145 with a Jadis Defy and a EL 34, both pack power and work with good results (vol gain no more than 9 oclock, = mid SPL (80ish)in my small room) with the high sens WBer. Ideally maybe a SET is superior, but any sized PP will also work. I listen at 8:30 on the Jadis DPL line stage vol....near field, . seated 8 feet from speaker. After owning the Seas Thors some 15 yrs,, its such a good feeling have a WBer on the speaker lines....... Niceee |
so i type in Wilson Speakers/65M hits Dali Speakers/30M hits Bache Audio Speakers /588k hits. Proof consumerISM/Commercial/ISM/Popular/ISM might be a deceptive snakeoil that takes one off a path to find a better speaker. Argue please. I never ever follow the crowd. From my studies in Jung, collective man often leads to the lesser choice. Please argue |
