Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

WE HAVE A WINNER, and his name is bruce edgar!


well shucks.

if we all check out what mr. edgar suggested- put a second order on the direct radiator, and a 1st order on the horn- which seems backwards of what I'VE ever seen! well, i did, the problems i was having with the smallest shred of coarseness in the mids isn't THERE anymore?! i reversed phase, just to check-- but it sounded sibilant and a little strange- swapped it back, and mellow like butta.

i put in a 3mH inductor with a 5uF cap (within a tenth of the calculated values either way for a 12.5-ish impedance)- and i had to run through a BUNCH of cds to believe i actually did what i thought it did. sure 'nuf, though.

it DID take a little jump out of the bass at first blush-- but the sonic benefits outweigh, at least in my tube setup. MUCH better clarity through the mids after listening about an hour now! best i can tell-- its not particularly over or undershot.. so i'll haveta listen a while and see.

at first i thought it might be a little wierd.. never done an asymmetrical XO before.. but so far so good!

thanks be, mr bruce! i'll report back!
