Woofers and Tweeters Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Wonder what the specs are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Beautiful job on the cabinets! It says the main driver is a coaxial but I don't see a tweeter unless its behind the dust-cap? On a different note I once heard a very expensive pair of Tannoys I believe? with a 15" coaxial woofer-- the guy was raving about it and seemed to brag on and on at how expensive they were. My thought was that possibly the tweeter was blown as it sounded very rolled off in the upper frequencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Bum Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I've actually heard the super-v in person (not the ones in the ad, but a pair built up by DR himself), as well as other GR research designs (these are all DIY kit speakers). They offered several that were similar, all open baffle, all used a P-Audio professional co-ax up top, and a pair of woofs below, also open baffle. The tops are passive, with DR's passive networks and his typically easy-on-the-ears voicing, and the lows controlled by a sub amp with specific eq for this application. They all sounded quite nice, rather punchy for OB designs, and of course had rather benign interaction with the room, another OB benefit (RMAF hotel room demo). They were all being powered with either modest pp tubes or chip amps. I strongly considered building a pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Those have the looks of the Linkwitz Orions designed speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemoretime Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I could swing Khorns for that much.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 And more than likely, better served by Khorns as well.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
