Oh please Romy:What advantage does multichannel B&W owner have over off the shelf single driver (like Druid or whatever)??The multichannel B&W owner cannot alter level of each channel by 1db. He cannot slide the crossover up or down 20 Hz, no...

The full-rage single-driver acoustic systems is probably the most hated playback topology by me. It is irrelevant if you use $200 Fostex or you use a family reserved edition of AER driver for $64.000. The result you have the same: a horrible dynamic ...

Arno, I am glad that you take my comment with right attitude; this is indication that you are not dead, despite the fact that you are building a back-loaded horn. I do not think that you find a lot of useful horns information for yourself at this si...

Maybe no other hi-fi group has thought more about the cabinet's contribution to sound than the single-driver crowd. Many of them like the "immediacy", "integrity" and "purity" of the single driver sound so much that they endlessly hu...

Sure, it is not a big deal to listen a single-driver speaker. However, if we presume that by means of audio means we are able to make any difference in auditable experiences, and if to capitalize on this difference is you objective (of the object...

[quote user="HookEm"]The reproduction does not seem natural... too far away from what I would hear at a live event (e.g., female vocalist). Sort of bright and fatiguing at times. I may not be using the proper terminology to describe it, but I do...

Hi guys and gals! Glad to have found this site!My question is do you believe in single driver speakers like Cube Audio? I don't need ultimate low end extension but accurate mids and highs. Thanks ??...

Joe,
Since this topic is about a particular single driver speaker, but still a monodrive, let me ask you a question.
One of the fundamental shortcomings of the not-so-wide-range single-driver class is, as you know, a not so wide frequency range...

Teodor, if you read my site then you know that I am not a big supporter of the acoustic system topology that you describe. It is not matter of driver but many other aspects. So, I do not think, or frankly speaking do not care about back-loaded single...

First of all, the people who read this thread need to understand that I use the metaphor “idiots owners” purely in pedagogical sense. There is nothing idiotic to run neither single driver speakers, to have very bad speakers or not to have speaker...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

The SG505TT driver can be used with S150 and S200 horn. The crossover frequency suggested by GOTO for each horn is as follow:S150 - 200Hz and S200 - 270Hz. Of course, one can use the single SG505TT driver to pair up wit...

Joe, I think I would battle it.
I would not be so certain. Mostly the SUV sized bass horns are notoriously bad sounding despite of the assurances of the system owners overwhelmed with so common in audio endowment effect. Not to mention that the Stag...

Joe,
A few comments I need to make.
First, about the WE. I think it is a bit cheap, to bring to the table with me the arguments of the level that the “editor of the biggest and most influential magazine in the world, Stereo Sound, who can get...

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

Thanks for the response. And please excuse me for not having read such basic threads of yours as "About Single Driver Speakers and their idiots owners.", "Burn any single-driver speaker in hell."Maybe I'm wrong but a simple search through forum's top...

SG505TT + S150 horn crossover at 180 Hz is not recommended by GOTO. The SG505TT driver is not recommended to use with single throat S150 horn. Double SG505TT driver is recommended to use with single throat S150 horn.&nb...

Tuga,I do not know what JMLC had written in that paper – I can’t read French but from looking at the pictures I might only presume that he was trying to prove or disprove the Point Source idea by looking at the souses live sound vs. recorded-and-then...

First off, I will point out that neither Silbatone nor I claim or agree that the Aporia horn is a point source, because clearly it is not. The sound comes from two "areas" but even that is not a particularly useful notion.Although some do make that c...

Tuga,
I do not think we spoke about the specific problem of the single-driver class and one of the reason why I never brought it up was because I presume that every person with sane knows them and those problems are not even arguable.
However I wou...
