Hey Steve, good to see you here!

Interesting, look through the About EVA page and there's not a single name associated with high end audio. It's all tech and website people, hard to know if they understand the product at all.

I don't use pre-amps much of the time, but my reference for clarity, tonal accuracy, and micro-detail is still my inexpensive Placette passive. It has dispatched many a far-more-expensive active pre...

I agree they're fantastic tweeters. But the dome is only a small percentage of the moving mass, most is comprised of the voice coil and former. That's why all the 25mm vc tweeters have moving mass...

Larger dome and voice coil also means more moving mass, which means slower transients. Transient speed is already a weakness of dome tweeters.

Pick 2, can't have them all ... physics is a bitch!

Small Cabinet
High Sensitivity
Low Bass Extension

Typically to get around the nasty laws of our Universe, manufacturers just fudge the...

Thanks, shows the exact same tweeter resonance, so obviously it's a real thing.

For the 3rd time now, cavity resonances in soft dome tweeters DO NOT show in impedance traces. It should be pretty obvious for the reasons I spelled out before why that's the case. Maybe if you 10x...

I designed a speaker around it. Trust me, it would have no problem with a 6db slope @ 2500hz. THD would never go above .5% up to 100db @ 1m.

Not going to post the pic inline, because this is a...

Work with a Transducer Labs tweeter, especially loaded into a waveguide, and you'll rethink that.

I get a kick out of people talking about market fundamentals these days, like they have a damn thing to do with the trajectory. All that matters is quote stuffing algos and Central Banks. If they...

Incorrect, I even explained to you earlier why tweeter resonances don't often show on an impedance graph and you're still sticking with it? And a cavity resonance is even more likely NOT to show,...

Well, you're not getting a flat power response without a flat on-axis FR as well. So yes, it is also flat on-axis response. And like I said before, even power response is nothing more than proper...

Ya know, not every LCR is an impedance trap.

At most one impedance trap would be needed, on the bottom of the tweeter. And these days there are plenty of tweeters available that can cross at...

I suppose I'll continue the conversation, most seem cool with it.

So, let's assume the measurement shows a real anomaly. It appears to be a cavity resonance causing destructive interference...

Someone asked me to comment on a tech question in another thread, so I did, then just happened to wander to this thread.

Since few care about tech, and it often ends up here - with someone...

War has always been the tool of choice throughout human history. But the leverage ratios and massive numbers in play this time would indicate the scope of the war is going to have to increase...

HY CDS spreads have been screaming danger for the last 18 months!

Seriously? If that's what you believe, you need to spend more time collecting and interpreting measurement data. I'm not trying to be a know-it-all, but your interpretation is off. That stored...

Tweeter resonances often don't show in impedance graphs. Woofer resonances do because it's the heavy moving part resonating which cause the voice coil to wiggle in the gap. And the higher in...

Look at the CSD graph and see how that suckout turns into a ridge of stored energy. Something about the geometry of the rear chamber or pole piece is causing a resonance to form, and there doesn't...

If ATM machines stop working, we'll be trading lead for loaves of bread.

I can hear just barely to 15khz, but that isn't what you hear anyway. Highly likely that resonance also creates a spike in odd order distortion that propagates downward, you can hear 5khz and 3khz...

Most of us are familiar with the work of Toole and Geddes. We're also aware of the fact that it's misinterpreted often in attempts to make it mean things never intended. Basically all that was...

Since they're all made by Scan Speak, they're likely nearly identical. There's not anything new that can be done with silk domes anyway. But I've never seen a nasty 15khz resonance like that on a...
