Hello.
Thanks for your description of the EMS LB-12EX.
I have been very curious since I first read about this driver.
The field coil magnet system is said to have to have some sonically advantages over other magnet systems, if well constructed.
For some years I have been using Altec Duplex 605B with custom made cross overs, together with a low power 2A3 SE amplifier.
However I much like the idea of a "true" full range driver, with no cross over at all, eventually assisted by a super tweeter above 10 or 15 KHz. I have fine experiences with Fostex T825A vintage horn tweeters in this respect.
Even though speaker quality is such a subjective matter, would you able to go a little more in depth regarding the rendering characteristics of the LB-12EX?
Do you know the "sound" of the Altec Duplex'es, or maybe Tannoy Dual Concentric 15" drivers? Would the LB-12EX have the same degree of resolution in the lower / upper midrange and treble area?
Of course the best thing will be to visit EMS and conduct a listening test session, but I cannot find the time at the moment.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Regards,
Thomas
