wait -- are y'all talkin' about silver or tin? Now I'm confused. This thread is so mercurial.

The best part of a century -- for the good ones. They weren't using electrolytics in crossovers in those days, either. ;) Although AlNiCo magnets are sensitive to mechanical shock and just plain old use and benefit from occasional recharging. Electrodynamic (electromagnetic) drivers can be...

Actually, the Heresy (H700) was a relatively late Klipsch "Heritage" product: 1959, give or take. :)

Something about speakers and volume pricing strikes me as awfully funny in a dad-humor-pun kind of way... :p;):cool::facepalm:

Come to think of it, this is pretty much the way that SpaceX approached building a heavy lifting rocket, isn't it? ;):cool::facepalm: SpaceX... hmm... who's their CEO? ;)

Yeah, it seems like a bad idea. Kind of like, I don't know, taking 65536 Mabuchi motors* and running a Tesla S with them. ... or... 9,648 AA batteries, as in the case of the fabled Mercedes AA Class eSedan. __________ * Yes, 2^16 of 'em. ;):cool:

I have what may be an overly naive question about this tweeter array business. Arraying* a whole bunch of identical drivers doesn't change the Fs of any one of those drivers -- or does it? If it doesn't, how is it safe to drive an array such that any one of the drivers is asked to respond to...

Another tidbit from our recent outing (or, as I like to call them: Mid-Atlantic Coastal Slogs) from NH to VA and back. Being older Americans, Mrs. H and I require relatively frequent (ca. 1-1/2 to 2 hour interval) stops when traveling by auto for several old-person-appropriate reasons. Being...

We were just down in NoVA (Alexandria, VA, specifically) for a few days visiting our son & daughter-in-law. Beautiful down there already. Got home & our lawn's starting to turn green. There was still some snow in the shadow-y areas of our property when we left. We went up to Pittsburgh, NH...

He/she/they can probably do Neutrix. :cool:

Nope, neither -- although fullrange is usually, at least practically speaking, oxymoronic. Indeed, I'd opine that an 8 inch driver is just about the optimum (Platonic ideal?) form factor for a good extended-range driver. It's just that my tastes in same run towards the vintage and somewhat...

Saw this on the Polk forum. Seems like this thread is a good place to share it with all y'all (although of course I'd usually drop it into the humor thread). :)

Yeah. I'm the wrong person to ask offer an opinion on great "full range" drivers on this forum. ;)

NOT to suggest that the E6 is good, but I reckon that to say "impossible to use" is hyperbole. ;)

The local pharmacy used to have a Dali clock -- kind of oozing off of a shelf. I quite liked that one. There are also, of course, the Einsteinian clock: There's also the maths clock.
