Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Re: SET and planar magnetic speakers

Thank you for your advice and experience. I doubt that I would want to give up the pulchritudenous sound of the 45 so I use a Raven tweeter and a pair of 6" dynamic speakers in a cabinet with bi amplification and cross over filters between the 6SN7 mu follower with choke drivers and the 45 grids.
The idea seems interesting and if I understand correctly, a planar magnetic ribbon can be mounted in a piece of wood in dipole fashion and the width of the wood varies to prevent diffraction an a frequency determined by the distance between the ribbon and the edge of the wood. I recall Dahlquist made a tomb stone shaped speaker that used no box and the thing looked like something out of a science fiction movie. The crossover parts were exposed and in the open and were beautiful to see. But with progress the sound of speakers improved. But that style never returned.
