D130 vs D130F and D131 vs D131F
Can anyone tell me if D130Fs and D131Fs suffer severe high frequency loss as compared to D130s and D131s?
I seem to have lost a beautiful "chime" that I once got from 2-D131s, when I changed to 2-D131Fs(original cones) in a Fender guitar amp. Or am I imagining this?:blink:
And should I avoid D130Fs in my C36 cabs with 075s?
Thank you,
Darrell

Thank you for your response,
I have never done threads before. Please forgive my awkwardness.
"No, there shouldn't be any HF loss between the D130 and the D130F, or between the D131 and the D120F. There was a VERY slight drop in efficiency, but that was about it. "
I read in the Library that D130 had a usable frequency response up to 17,000 CPS and was thinking the D131 should follow suit. The only frequency-response I could find to compare it to was a K130 which reached 6,000Hz.
I may have another variable interfering. I had a Fender amp converted to the original Fender Tweed Super amp, that I got the "chime" from with the D131s.
I do get that chime with 1-Jensen H222 Coaxial 12" running with 1-D131F. Thank goodness, I can't hear the Jensen woofer part(not efficient enough). The horn crosses at 2k and is efficient enough.
I just got a beautiful pair of JBL LE12C-1. I will be trying these tonite with my 30 watt Fender amp. They chime beautifully here in my studio. Can I damage these speakers using these in this fashion? They aren't as efficient as D131F.
Thank you for enlightening me, Harvey. It is an honor.
"The D130F should work as well as a D130 in a C36 cabinet, but that's not what the D130F was designed for. "
I just lost a bid on a pair of C34s, 030 loaded on eBay, yesterday. 1 cabinet was JBL factory and the other appeared to be made from JBL Enclosure instructions. My internet let me down in last minute bidding.
"Actually, the D130 (or "F") would not be my first choice for a C36 cabinet - way too small a box for a 15" speaker. A C35 or C37 would be better.[/quote]"
Do you feel the C35 or C37 is the best choice for the 030 system?
Thank you very much Harvey,

Thank you so much, Harvey,
I need to get ready for my gig. It is EST time here.
An honor indeed, you were there in the "Golden Era"
