High Fidelity Sound Speaker

Going to sell the DLVX8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mozartfans OP,

some months back

wow talk about change of plans. Lets fiorget all this blab about dumping the DLVX8. anyway, was some nearly a quarter a century ago (2002ish) that i opened a Speaker Shootout at the OK Corral,, very longgg running topic here when audiogon has hunderds of members posting by the SECOND, not days like it is now. anyway, nearlya quarter a century ago, I asked what speaker might be ideal for me,,,hardly anyone mentioned CORAL BETA 8. well I did see it, but was out my budget and very rarely on the used market...and was nearly a Half Century since I began my speaker search back in early 1970’s...well I finally found what I was always looking for.

The DIY Association board told me **do not make a dual FR, we tried it, it will not work,,, and if you do so, you can not post on OUR forum any longer,,,**

I deifed their demand and command and did it as old Frankie sings,,,**and I did it myyyy own wayyyy**. and i did,

Here I try to explain all in this video below. The Seas Excel are near a sale, they were wonderful, but along came Davidlouis As the old saying goes, you can pay(spend) more , but you just might end up with,,,less.

Just sold off my Seas W18E001's,  4 Midwoofers $450 FREE SHIP, You snooze, you lose.

No turning back now, I'm done with xover type sp[rakers except for a  tweeter, In fact going to run DUAL tweeters.

Late 1970's Philips AD163 + a  Seas clone from Davidlouis.

Dual Full Range

+ 

Dual tweeters.

NO MIDWOOFERS.

Why?

There is plentyyyyy of nice solid bass with dual Full range.

the VX8 might go to 50hz, the VX6 to 60hz.

The specs say 40hz on both, might be true, might not, Who really cares.

I listen to classical music, some kettle drums, mostly cello, some bouble bass.

Cello LOWEST notes roll off at 65hz.

So I'm covered in the bass depatment.

Highs, both speakers claim 15Khz, But I strongly urge addinga  dedicated tweeter for ambience, 

Go down to 5khz. on your xover.

Last  night's listening sesdsion confirmed I really believe I have the worlds best sounding speaker. 

Horns might be superior, but there is all sorts of requirements to home a  horn system. 

And its wayyyy too much sound pressure level for my  taste at 100 db sensitivirty.

Horns  would never work for my needs.

Adios to all and ever box style xovered/low sensitivity speaker 

Forever.

"Horns might be superior, but there is all sorts of requirements to home a  horn system."

Wrong. (as usual) 

It is good to see a hobbiest that keeps himself amused with what he does and entertains others while doing so.

Based on the latest video, and pretty much all of the others you have posted, you clearly have a love for a lot of sibilance. I am not sure which is worse, all of the splashy, spitty, sibilant sound, or your incessant rambling over the top of the recording.
