Tang Band 2145 in action

don't like t he looks of either

The only TB I would consider putting up against the DaviDlouis 4 is the TB w3 2178
Most likely I will order that speaker,, $260/pair,,waiting for a  holiday sale,,if not in jan/feb i'll order a pair

but really I doubt its going to match the DavidLouis in mids.
Then again...it might...

btw this DL4 is now out of stock and who knows when back in production,,if ever,,all because of a  EU source not making that tiny 3 inch cone...

music starts at 6:35

92db, TB's W3 at 88db...I'd much prefer the 92db. To match the DLVX8's 92db.
Synergy.

scratch the Tang Band w32178
Its Tang band W31878

I'd like to snag a  pair at $200, but if I gotta pay the piper's 260,,I;'m willing.
Those lil guys have been out for som time now,,I think years ago the price was under $100,, my guess is when Tang band figures out the true value of each model, the prices go either down or up. In this case a  nice 50% increase.
I love Neo Dymium magnets,, but in this model,, TB employs those round *pills*, 
Like Voxativ.
Its  a  cheap way of employing highest quality magnets.
The tiny pills in the Voxativ was too weak,  rendering the Voxativ  AC1A  a dud, a  complete bomb. 
In this TB case,, its only a 2- 3 inch cone, and magnet structure looks more than adequate. 
DavidLouis employs a  huge neo dymium manget for its 4 inch.(3 inch acutal cone).
IMHO the DaviDlouis 4 is the finest W4 on the market. 
Its  no longer in production and seller has no clue when it will be back. 
Now he lists a  cheap 5 inch that looks like worthless trash.  

Actually, the speaker in the video was the AG Uno, not that would have changed MF's perspective on anything.

@mozartfan   BTW, I watched your YT video where you were using RG's bread board SET amp to drive the David Louis WBs. Be advised that the powertube used is the 50 tube and not the 250 tube (is there even such a thing???) and the amp uses two (2) of them. You might consider making that correction.

Yes correct at his shop on tuesday,,, he did say **The 50 tube**, and forgot to have him clarify that, = Not 250 tube.

Thanks

SETs are not wimpy,, RG employs a colbalt  in the out trans. Small but super powerful and not cheap.
That SET has equal the big Defy's power + bass slam.
I do not understand much dif in output froma  SET vs a  PP. AS far as employing a  higher sens speaker is concerned. 

I note there are other WBers with a  94++ db sens. No way I'd be interested in anything about my 92 dbsens. 
Actually 90/91db is ideal. 
The DLVX8 is 92db  the DLW4 states 91db. 
I can note a  difference in the 1 db sens
The DLW4 highs are definetly rolled off, say 10khz, (??) , but has quick  tight  bass kick maybe 80hzish,,, you;d be surprised at the lil punch in bass.
. Mids are accurate/clean
The VX8 has at least 45hz bass, if not the 40hz as claimed on the specs. 
Highs are there, whether its 12khz or 12khz+, I do not know, and am not at all interested where the roll off  begins.  You can hear the snares with sparkles.
