High Fidelity Sound Speaker

I have not heard the BD5, but, the lesser models in the line that I've heard were fantastic.  I can only wish to hear a properly designed speaker with that model of driver.  

Another good full-range driver, whizzer cone and all is the 10" driver in Cube Audio speakers.  I recently heard their Basis speaker system that utilizes this driver plus two active woofers in a bass cabinet sitting below the cabinet with the 10" driver.  This was a terrific sounding system.

There are quite a few examples of really good full and wide range drivers used in all sorts of systems, I don't understand why someone must insist that there is only one or two ways to go in this approach, and insist that this is the ONLY approach that delivers great sound.  

wow This was some of my 1st upgrdes,

New Jadis Line Stage, mods in the Cayin.

etc..

wow I’ve come a longgg way since then

haha

Here is my latest system

But still not finished yet.

I have since taken out the paper tweeter and installed the Philips 162T8 tweeter from late 1970;s, pulled from a pair of Scott speakers also used in the famous Bang and Oulfsen speakers,

The 163T8 gives up some of the lifelike vocal ’s for more sheen on the higher fq.s + has a tad more db sens.

Will make a vid once the DLVX6 arrives and is installed ,

anyway. just came across this old video showing off the jadis Defy7, as I was searching for YT videos on the Jadis JA30. My guess is the JA30 has more bass kick~~~which I certainly do not need more of, the Defy with Mundorf SESGO .47 caps on each KT88 gives up more than enough bass slam...) , but I;m guessing my 12 tubes gives in more deeper soundstage.

Both excellent amps,

The Seas Thors are certainly no match for the DavidLouis VX8.

The Vishay res I am talking about were a complete total disaster which put me out $650, thanks Randy Cohen where ever you are at for that bag of advice.vishayvishayvishay,, those gadgets are for aero space industry, NOT meant for music...

anyway, Here is the Defy completed, DLP completed, and the DLVX8.

As I say added the Philips with a Mundorf 1st order cap of 6uf, really took the highs to a better voicing over the Kasun paper tweeter.

I think the Kasun here has a 2uf cap, which is too low a value to have the tweeter open up.

Purpose of the 2 videos is to reveal how far superior is a FR vs the Seas low sens speakers

The W4 is now gone . Good, but I;’m looking for more. The VX6 was ordered today, should be installed in 3 weeks.

DIYers are suggesting I am wasting my time of such a gimmick as dual FR’s, they say its already been attempted and it does not work out.

The sound field gets all muddled and mangled, like some thick gumbo soup.

It really shattered my perceptin of what that genre of driver was capable of. The Sigma, which I have heard is NOTHING like the AER except for it being a high eff driver.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Got it. AER and Voxativ wood cone, some of the very finest FR speakers, Got it.. Now the DLVX6 is on the way from HK as I type. If, now this is a big if,, we can pair up dual FR such as DLVX8 + DLVX6,,what do we have? 1st up, I ran this idea with my Ebay supplier,, he says **never even heard of such a gimmick over here in china, no one on our shores has even concocted such a weird idea as placing 2 FR in one speaker system,,just weird..** I told him over here we havea singer from NYC, Old Frankie, who sings a classic NYC ballad. **And I did it myyyy own wayyyy* If this pair matches up snd sings in harmony (DIYers like Dave said I am wasting my time and money,,he’s already tried that gimmick..** well there are only 2 outcomes,,either we will hear a big pile of poop, or we may just have a speaker system that no speaker can approach in terms of pure high fidelity midrange. I’ve done this experiement with various FR drivers,, only 1 pairing had successs. If the VX6 performs as i hope and expect it to sing,, well, look out. This will be a new FR design that may indeed take the speaker design to a whole nother level. Just saying,,, This ain’t no Line Array Point Source. PS LA does not equal a FR duo. Completely different system. 2 weeks should be Up N Running. Will keep everyone posted. I’m looking to annihilate any of AER/Voxativ’s designs.

Fostex Sigma 8 The Best
