High Fidelity Sound Speaker

 Country 

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

OK CM  could mean Country Music,  some of which is pretty good. 

I've found country not best for my demo YT ulploads, It can be noisey at times.

I prefer Diana Krall, Sophie Milman, Elvis Costello/Bacharach Painted Memories. , Gatemouth Brown for more complex, driving rythums. 

In these recordings you get a  chance to hear soundstage separation, bass/highs,  human voice. Bass rifts.

If a  speaker has any flaw, it will show up in higher relief with these cds than I can with lower fidelity classical music.

OK doing some resaerch in **wide band* *Full Range* *single source* speakers/drivers.

I remember seeing posts on Audiogon some decades back, about the Coral Beat 8..., Seems these FR came out cerca 1970's sold for ??

So it all began  in Chicago and Berlin speakers for the movie industry.

These early prottypes were fantastic in human voice, mids.

I can not find the YT vid of the 1929 Colatura(sp?) made in Chicago, Then we have the Klangsfilm and also Siemens same era.

Zeinth, RCA came along 30's, 

Next big manufacturers were Electro Voice and Jensen.

Perhaps Altec Lansing were the next big designs in Full Range,, Lowther, Fostex doing their designs. But its really the manufacturer in japan that really opened the possibilities to these magical designs, Coral Beta 8, CB10. 

I think CB8 was the new crown jewel of a  long history in this wide band design.

WE also should not over look Tannoy/s *concentric* ideas But I think Coral Beta has surpassed everyone in this field at that time, 1970's. 

seems AER, Cube, Voxativ bases their designs upon this magneficient Coral Beta 8 **wonder speaker*

I think the Coral Beta 8 was as good as it gets as far as complete total midrange in the concern. 

AER, Voxativ both have been around now  over a  decade. Yet rarely mentioned. Cube has recently made some interesting designs with a high powered Nd magnet motors.

Fostex, Mark Audio,  Tang band come in with lower priced offerings , all have a  good  fan base in asia. 

The most recent *new kid on the bloack* is Davidlouis with their VX8 and VX6, both offered in the year 2020.

I did catch a  pic of the  early prototype. Completely different , far superior design. 

Where these FR drivers are headed is anyones guess.

More futher developements??

Don't count on it.

Looks like each manufacturer has settled in to what they feel is best they can offer.

(Aplogies if I left ZU out the discussion)

xover/low sensitivity types just keep on keeping on,,, new/better/the latest, the hottest..

Stereophile's latest issue,,, yep you guessed it, The Wilson,, just one mo time. 

Sorry not interested. 

The Seas Thor xover/low sens design was quite enough.

To my ears I hear all xover.low sens designs  sound as *the same speaker, dif  flavor* variations on a theme. A theme that 's like a  ,,, excuse the pun, how could I resist,,A Broken Record. 

tongueincheek

and if you mentioned to Troels Gravesen you dont like the sound, the distortion the fatigue of Seas Excel drivers, ya know what he would tell you

**Time  for you to change the battery in your hearing aids..**

He would. 

Seas Thor was my reference speaker.

I knew what fidelity sounded like, its just that I wanted to see if i go go HIGHER in fidelity/ and indeed I did.

Cost me a small fortune, but worth it.

I have 2 more experiemnts to make

$300 and $100 and I;m done, Dont hav to spend, (waste) one more single cent in speakers ever again in my hobby.

= I;'m not on the speaker-merry-go-round. 

Hey looks like Zu and Tekton have new models out this month. Much better than their last *new and better* model.

Merrygo rides dont come cheap

Where's Erik when I need him,,, someone call up Erik, I need backup support. , Just b/c your speaker is bigger, more  expenisve and looks  alot nicer, all neat perfect cabinet,, in no way should be implied yours sounds better.

You have been saying this same thing for months, yet here you still are on the speaker merry-go-round. How many different drivers and combinations have you tried in just that short time? Far more than anyone else that I am aware of. Heck, you are keeping up with Jay and his component turn over. Just because the horses aren’t the same doesn’t mean it is not a merry-go-round. You are never getting off of it, because you clearly are still not happy with what you have. You won’t be after the next two experiments either.
