Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers

bache OP389 posts10-16-2021 3:17pmSorry , loudspeakers based on one driver, Single driver loudspeakers,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Politely argue  with  that subjective opinion.
I’ve tried it and it works
If you find its not acceptable, nor even practical, I understand you need to carter to what sells, your customers, 

I plan to have 3 WBers in each channel. Might work, might not, The W8W4 will stay til.....
Diana Krall’s voice never sounded so poetic and beautiful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now on to this Q!.

WE list all speaker designs
Concentric /Zu’s, Tannoy
Horns
Panels/stats.
xover box types
Last but most certainly not least...
we have the WBers/FC’s.
Make a column for each design
The strengths in 1 column and the weakness/downside in the next column.
Lets see what we come up with.
The only 2 weaknesses that might appear in the WBer column is bass/highs roll off.
Other than that. ,,,,,
Tally will show WBers the winner.

bache OP389 posts10-16-2021 12:13pm8" sigma is  no good I , not for me, very bad freq response, if you see this got the pick about 10 db on 3.5Hkz , cone break , same f-n issue like TB 1808

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes I looked at the db/hz chart,, odd looking,,has this weird break  /dip in the mids,, very odd. 
Never seen any chart like it. 
Besides I did not care for any YT vid of any Fostex, definetly not my cup of tea.
And yes i think word is out the TB 2145 beats out both TB 1808 and TB1772

Both 1808 and 1772 have Neo pill type magnets. 
Too small IMHO, This pill Neo Dymium magnet design is also in the TB W3 and TBW4,, my guess is a  better performance as the cones are very small and the size of the pill magnet looks more than beffy enough to push both to gorgeous performance. 
= SLAMMM
The TB 2145 has a  massive ferrite which really is superior to those tiny pill Nd magnets. 

I have ideas on a  world class WBer design. 
Invlves 2 WBers + dual 8 inch magnesium  woofers + a  Be/Nd magnet tweeter. all parts under $3k, will beat out any speaker on the market. In every department. 
Will annihilate  any Zu , any Wislon, any Tekton. 
There top 3 speakers shot down with 1 draw of the gun. 
Thats one bad gun slinger 
shoots 3 gunners with 1 single shot.
Nothing will touch it.

Wow!

Here is the single good full range driver implementation without front horn I have heard.

They use Fostex FE208EZ without whizzer and tweeter with big horn.
The crossover point between full range driver and tweeter is 2500HZ.
