If it fits with your visual schema, a thin coat of white paint on the cone may partially (or fully) hide the deformed area.
-
If it is plugged into the charger, try unplugging it. Chargers can introduce noise...
-
Boxsim in general, and Micka.de for enclosure tuning

I have some pickles with a Carolina Reaper and a Habanero pepper added to the jar. I like heat so I ate a piece of the Carolina Reaper. It was mild at first but built up over a few minutes and the heat lasted at least 20 or 30 minutes. I do get w…

I am hoping that you try listening to the open baffle part by itself...
-
That baffle would look great in charcoal, or possibly gloss white...
-
Have they been in use recently? If not, it is possible that the old suspension needs to loosen up a bit. They might be less bright if they played for a few hours...

You have the right idea. Rotary electric motors have slip, that is where they turn slower than the frequency that they are supplied with. A 4 pole motor should turn 1800 RPM at 60 Hz in theory, but are always somewhat slower. A typical AC motor m…

Inspired by your reply, I did a quick search and it seems that I have misunderstood the WAW concept. It does appear to be an actual 2 way with a low crossover point. I stand corrected, Thanks!

I think the currently used term on DIYAudio is WAW, woofer assisted widerange...
-
The facets are visually more appealing also...
-
Four small triangular ports, one in each corner?
-
(Quote) The bass performance of a tube amp usually varies depending on the choice of output transformers. I'd suggest targeting more like 60 hz or higher. As stated by Hofmann's Iron Law, low bass, small enclosure, and high efficiency do not go to…
-
It depends much on how loudly they will be expected to play. I usually run a 95 db/watt speaker with a headphone amp (300mW per channel) and they will easily play loud enough for critical listening. I can also turn them up enough to listen from ot…

We all have our individual methods and preferences...
-
Why not just measure together, that is how you will be listening. Otherwise, you might try shorting the driver that is not being measured. If shorted, it will be heavily damped and hopefully not move much.
-
Would it be acceptable to have two enclosures per side, one stand mount for the wide ranger and one floor standing for the bass driver?
-
Cool project! I like the name and the concept... I have found that adding damping behind a driver can smooth response but can also reduce detail. Have you observed this with the tweeter?
-
Looks great, that veneer and finish is beautiful. In this case, I certainly prefer the diamond mounting of the drivers. I think it fills the vertical space better and is visually appealing.
-
I could see people viewing a speaker with punchy bass as dynamic...
-
Could be interesting...
-
What is dynamic range in a speaker? I've never understood that one, I always thought dynamic range was primarily from the source material and maybe the amplifier... I know there is power compression, is that the type of thing that would reduce dyn…

The "B Minors" Under 300 category Judge #1: A little bright, nice image. Vocals better on this track. Bright, drop tweeter level. Clarity - 5 Craftsmanship - 5 Dynamic range - 5 Originality/Design - 4 Soundstage/imaging - 4 Tonal balan…
-
The "Full Waves" Over 300 category Judge #1: Thin, but very clean and clear. Clear mids, just too thin for my tastes. Clean and clear vocal, thin. Clarity --> 8 Craftsmanship - 7 Dynamic range - 6 Originality/Design - 7 Soundstage/i…
-
Not a bad place for a trough, however. Reason being that 6 to 8 Khz are where the "ssss" sounds live, if I recall correctly.
-
Cool project! I like coaxials, the advantages frequently outweigh the disadvantages. I would suggest listening to some good reference songs early and often as you make changes.
-
My entries are 100% my way this year, with zero attempts at tailoring the sound to what I perceive others might like. I think they will actually do better this way. If not, at least I like them...
-
Are you still using the D202ti drivers? How do you like them?
-
Just look and listen please! And even looks can be deceiving...
-
My over 300 entry, the Full Waves, have been done for months. Still waiting on grilles to arrive hopefully today. The grilles may or may not be installed, depending on looks, fit, and sound quality. My under 300 entry, the B Minors, were revised …
