Interesting video, they all sounded good, natural rather than 'hi-fi'...
Interesting video, they all sounded good, natural rather than 'hi-fi', apart from that muddy 15" Tannoy, but the bass from the TP1 London just sounded so clean. I've just realised that I first heard TP1 corner horns in 1962...60 years ago! .
Is that the same Worden that did an articulated pickup arm back in the 60s?
They are very 'direct' (literally, as there is no crossover), and on things like close mic'ed acoustic or female vocals can be downright spooky.
Is it just me?...
Only if I power up the subsTheu look great. But they’re really 2-ways.
Well there where clear differences to me listening on my phone, I'll have a listen later on my main system to see what colouration comes across on that.If I had only this video to go by, I'd think they're all fatally flawed. All horribly colored in different ways. Or is it the room? A mildly interesting but useless demo.
Perhaps the Tannoys would have had a fighting chance in proper enclosures.
Thats correct in my experence too. But some crossovers affect the sound more than othersSounding direct has nothing to do with there not being a crossover. It is the design of the complete driver and its increased efficiency.
Aye but there won't be much bass without them..Only if I power up the subs
It’s just how they came out. I planned multi colour but must have over planed themWhy the heck would you build black and white speakers?
IME true for certain older types, e.g. Lowthers, but not necessarily for newer designs from companies such as EAD, Mark Audio or Visaton. There is something very refreshing about the treble energy of a 8“ wideband driver like the B200; if properly EQ‘d, the „beaming“ can help with room reflections, too - without shouting at you.It’s easy to fall for the concept but its flaws will ultimately be too taxing. The worst part is that it will determine which genres one will enjoy listening to and that for me makes it completely unviable.
