Dear friends,
I don't have the luxury to audition equipment.. right now i listen to Saba green cones on an open baffle. Eastsound E-5 cdp and Red wine sig 30 amp..
I need to updgrade my speakers with my next tax return and soon..
These are the 3 options i am debating and will chose one of the 3.1. Lowther PM2A's in Medallion 2 Cabinets.
2. Supravox 215-2000 exes field coils in either open baffles (like i have) or in the folded tqwp design posted on their website.
3. 2 way TAD TL-1102 with TAD 2001 or 2002 and some kind of horn (in the meantime id pair the tl-1102 with my altec 811 horns..then save for the 2001s..
Room will likely always be small.. 12x16.Listen to classical, electronica, organ music, organ jazz..
What would be the key strengths of each 1,2,3..
weaknesses?What about the dispersion characteristics for each.. I have to admit.. i don't sit on one place all of the time.. sortof leary of the supravoxes for what I think may be a very limited sweetspot..
Thanks!

Go with the New Fertin 20EX fielcoil.It goes up to 20Khz flat roll off to 40khz without a tweeter.
Natural, aliveness, dynamic and do excellent with open-baffle.
A Fertin dealer suggesting the purchase of Fertin speakers when opinions of other speakers are requested seems to me to be advertising and against the forum rules.
First, I'm not a Fertin dealer. Dealer=profit, and I don'tmake a penny out of the sale of Fertin.
Second, I really think that the Fertin 20EX is a excellent
altenative to using the driver mentioned above especially in
open-baffle and with the new cones , spider and voice coil;you get a flat 20khz without a tweeter.
When we talk about organ music, I would really suggest
to add a woofer: 15 inch or 18 inch.
Is there a rule about helping people getting the Fertin
and saying it's a very good fullrange driver. If I made money
out of this I would advertise as a dealer but I don't.
You have described yourself before as a "Representative from Fertin" and under such position an unsolicited recommendation is still to me a form of advertising.Having said so I appreciate the efforts from people like you that allow us to have drivers otherwise unavailable. A couple of years ago I wanted to buy a pair of Fertins. I ended up buying Supravoxes because David Levinson sells them in the US and acquiring Fertins was more of a hassle. I'm very very very happy with my field coil Supravoxes and I'm sure that the Fertins speakers are on the same level. They should be wonderful drivers.

ps What kind of power supply do you use/recommend for your field coils? I've found that nothing beats batteries on mines.
what he does is hardly different than the Zu Druid posts below shilling for them and bragging about talking to the owner....much less offensive cause the posts are shorter and more helpful
Hi,Having said so I appreciate the efforts from people like you that allow us to have drivers otherwise unavailable.
I think this is the is the main idea:
If you can't contact Fertin, then I can help, like I did in the
past.
The power supply that Jean-Marie Semblat uses with his
drivers is the Villemann Ps907( He has the 20EX with the 38EX)
Hope that I didn't upset anyone by suggesting my favorite
driver.
felt the same way myself
Hello arkk,Funny you should mention the TAD TL-1102 and "some kind of horn".
I build a speaker that meets that description. You can see it by clicking on my name, then on my picture gallery (see the one entitled "Jazz Module closeup").
I'll shoot you an e-mail, as some of the design trade-offs I encountered might be applicable to your situation. Specifically, uniform dispersion was one of the characteristics I gave very high priority to.
Best of luck to you,
Duke! I love it. is that the dds wavequide?
so you like the 1102? not terribly efficient but the specs and higher freq cut off seems to make it (in my mind) an ideal speaker to experiment with two way designs..and simple first order xovers as well as other xover designs.. hmm. nice work. those look great.
arkk,Yup, that's the DDS waveguide. Thanks for the thumbs-up!
The 1102 is an absoulte pleasure to work with. Its easy to cross over, sounds great, does what they claim.
That being said, successfully implementing a first order crossover with this woofer and waveguide is beyond what I could do. I'm not saying it's impossible, but there are bumps and dips that are suppressed by a steep-slope rolloff which would be a problem with a first order crossover.
Best of luck with your project,
