    Why are all your driver mock-ups polygonal and not round??
  2. Classic compression drivers internal throat geometries

    Hello all,


    After some deliberation, I decided that it would make more sense to start a new thread rather than dig up an old one that had a similar topic.
    I hope this is OK.


    So, basically,...

    Not the adapter plate per se. But the (potential) double mis-match in wall angles may well do so.

    Beware. With direct radiating Woofer(s) & a compression driver+horn, you really need asymmetrical LP and HP electrical slopes (and possibly delay on the HF channel). Make sure that your analogue...

    That, or add a supertweeter. In my experience, the latter invariably leads to superior results, no matter what (compared to using compression drivers that "peak" in the top octave - as such peaking...

    Actually, a 2450SL + Truextent BeX4008 diaphragm would be the best candidate.

    The 2451 > 2452 > 2453 are progressively cheaper versions of the original 2450s...

    Please note that due to the...

    YES.

    But, only once all the caveats discussed above regarding crossover and overall system integration have been duly considered.

    True. Fair enough.

    But I could also quote other recordings that lead me to draw the same conclusions.

    For instance, I have a recording of the first movement of Saint-Saens' Symphony n.3 in C...

    FWIW, I found the same. Sitting at the apex of an approximately 3-metre side equilateral triangle is the "sweet spot" in speaker-listener positioning.

    It has much more to do with their relatively crude crossover, which does not pay much if any attention to inter-driver phase tracking.
    The width of the baffle per se is only of secondary relevance,...

    The general trend is now very similar to the one recommended in the JBL synthesis installation manual:

    Sounds good ;-)

    Hi Ivica,

    in reply to the points you made:

    - yes, of course the JBL and Truextent dias are different, especially in terms of the suspension used;

    - the 2450 driver has a "Coherent Wave"...
