Interesting. I guess I need to learn more and, perhaps, experiment. Is there a cut-off (on the high end), where this would be less the case? For example, if the SLOB covered up to several 100 Hz, might the distortion of the driver start to factor i…
-
Thanks for the measurements. I've been tempted by this. So far, I've resisted. We shall see.
-
Well, that's disappointing. Not very good odd order HD. Between the two, I would definitely go with the similarly priced Morel EM1308. I had hoped for something that could be a good mid between the Purifi PTT6.5 and the Bliesma T25B. To me, at leas…

(Quote) There are a handful of MAC/DIY guys in the area here. It would be great to have you join us for a get-together, once we get back to doing that sort of thing.
-
(Quote) Thanks! So far, my mother-in-law is doing remarkably well. Much better than we feared she would given her overall health. She also seems to be on the improving side of it, but one can never be sure with this virus, it seems.
-
(Quote) Yes.

Lisa, my wife, is currently positive with relatively light symptoms. Her extended family had a 90 year birthday party for my father-in-law that spread it to most attending, including my 88 year old mother-in-law. That's the most likely theory anyway…

After a bit of research, I'm pretty sure it's plastic. Here's a review of the RT002: https://audioxpress.com/article/Test-Bench-Beston-Technology-RT002A-Ribbon-Tweeter Doesn't look very encouraging.
-
Is the horn for the Beston RT004A-D aluminum or plastic? Any distortion measurements anywhere? It looks like it might be a good match for my PTT6.5s if distortion is low enough.
-
(Quote) Could you please provide a name / link for a specific one? As someone who has struggled with wood glue, you definitely have my interest. The problem I always have with the wood glue iron-on method is bubbles where the glue didn't adhere.
-
The FN has rather disappointing distortion levels: https://hificompass.com/en/speakers/measurements/dayton-audio/dayton-audio-rs52fn-8
-
Yes, I do know that. So, I might have to wait for Black Friday. I can live with that because my current project is a turntable for my son.
-
(Quote) I'll be happy to share any information, if I go that route. I'm still looking into options. The AST2560 also seems to have a better (flatter) FR. If I decide to purchase a pair of PTT4.0s then I won't need the waveguides for the A…
-
Perhaps they are having COVID related supply chain issues or, worse yet, personnel health impacts. Or, maybe they are just having trouble keeping up with demand. Still, communication would go a long way to address any such issues. I've considered p…
-
I don't think I'd buy a beryllium tweeter without some sort of grill for it (even in a waveguide).
-
Are those 3D printed?
-
I decided to go with the 6.5s. I don't particularly want to use them ported due to port length or with the multiple (or very large) PRs that they would require. I am leaning toward running them sealed (F3 around 70 Hz). I'll have to decide where to…
-
(Quote) Is there a specific 12 or 15 (sub)woofer you'd recommend? It would need to be very low distortion and, potentially, usable up to 400 hz. I see that Parts Express no longer carries the ESS Heil products. Did they go out of business?
-
I should have added some details. This will be a small(ish) floorstanding TMW for music use only. I don't often listen too loudly, but my music is very dynamic and full range (think Mahler symphonies). I intend it to be passively crossed over and d…
-
(Quote) That sounds awesome! I take it this is NOT the PTT4.0 (https://purifi-audio.com/transducers/ptt4-0w04/)
-
I'm excited to see the 4", though less so about the 84 dB sensitivity. One thought I've had is to use the 6.5" as an OB midrange along with either a couple SB34NRX75-16s or SDX10s per side, also OB. If I went that route, I would probably …
-
I, too, am looking for an excellent woofer, with the WO24 as the current favorite. I wonder how the SDX10 compares (below 300 hz or so).
-
When I was in college, I owned a pair of Stax SR-44s. They were considerably better than any speaker I heard until the Martin Logan CLS (yes, I know I'm dating myself here). Every once in a while, the idea of DIYing a pair of electrostatic headphon…
-
I'd be interested in a group buy, though I might want to wait on a smaller driver and/or the Textremes. I've already purchased TL N26MGR-As for my build, but I'm thinking of getting Bliesma's instead (haven't decided between the T25A-6 or T34A-4).
-
Comparing the Purifi and the Satori (MW16P4) on the HifiCompass site, it looks to me that the Purifi is quite a bit better than the Satori in regards to frequency response and HD. It will be interesting to compare it to the forthcoming Textreme Sato…
-
I've been a bit iffy due to work, but it's looking like I'll be able to attend and bring the speakers I've been building for my nephew Pete.
-
I'm very tempted. I'd like my next build to either use the Epique E160 and E220 or the Satori MR16 and WO24 (along with the TLAB N26MGR, which I already have). My main question right now is the distortion of the E220 vs the W024.
-
I've seen studies that argue both ways, so, frankly, I'm not sure there's a clear answer to this. Sometimes the studies are clearly agenda driven, sometimes - as seems to be the case here - not. As a very happy Chevy Volt and Bolt owner, I'm clearl…
-
I am planning to attend. I'm really hoping to have my nephew's speakers done by then and bring them along, but with work going as it is, that is now a stretch goal. I had also hoped to bring competition entries. It is now looking like that is out of…
-
Yes, one is stereo and the other mono (or, it's mislabeled, only playing them would say for sure). Does the case say LDS6065 or LD6065 on the bottom of the black edge? LDS was stereo. It may be that they wore out one or the other and consolidated t…
