I don’t think that happened with these drivers as one was free moving, just showed nothing putting a signal through it and showing nothing on a meter. The other stuck backward, looked like someone had added the dust cap…put a heavy glass on it to keep the cap ridges pressed down while it dried...

Unfortunately this is how I got the speakers so don’t know how they are suppose to sound (I’ve had other royds before so familiar with the sound they produce) “They are wound onto the former that is part of the cone assembly” Apart from the two coil ends attached to the cone it was only...

Hi cooky, sorry for the late reply, the post replies to my questions weren’t coming up for some reason. I did pick up some 609 speakers and used the tweeter units from them. I can’t post in the classified section yet due to low post count I think.

Sorry if I sound a bit rookie with it but just thought I’d try it while waiting for a set of drivers for this model to pop up for sale.

Hey! Thanks for the responses. Sorry but I only got an alert for the last reply today. I posted another question the other week but it got no responses, was checking daily. Thought I’d leave this one till I got an alert. I measured the coil to be 20mm but after researching the speaker I...

Hi guys, does anyone know where I can buy voice coils in the uk? I’m looking for an 8 ohm 20mm diameter to be exact. thanks

Hi does anyone have a tweeter unit for an 8” tannoy 2064 driver? Thanks Andy

Hi guys, could I ask some advise on a problem I have… I’ve recently got some tannoy s8lr speakers and decided to upgrade the caps and resistors on the xover (done this a few times before with other speakers and everything’s been fine) Upon testing one of the speakers seems to be lacking in...

Thanks to manicatel for the smooth transaction. Great guy to deal with.

Thanks Tony, I’ll look it up. Maybe be able to pick one up s/h for a nice price. cheers

*PRE amp. Don’t know where “bore” came from.

Hi I use a vintage amplifier and wondered If someone could advise me of a cheap preamp I can use with it that has the following (in order of most important first) *Remote control *A clear signal path, so minimum colouration. That I can get for budget. *Optical input *bluetooth Not looking for...

Hi has anyone tried these in a larger cab? I’ve got some rough cabs made up for another set of drivers but it didn’t work out, they got sold on. so going to try the hpd’s in them and see how it goes. Cab is 47L ported floor stander. If it works out nice then I’ll make some decent enclosures...

Hi, I’ve got some old royd derwent speakers (1985) and the connections inside I’ve not seen wired this way before. From the rear terminals it goes...one set of wires to the 8” woofer/mid bass, then from same driver to a mid/tweeter, looks just like the old whalfdale purple unit (that has a cap...

So I couldn’t find anymore info on these drivers (other than various forums with people saying how good they sound) so I’ve mounted them in a 47litre floorstanding cabinet with a port of 5.5cm diameter by 5cm length, I tried the port at 20cm, 10cm and 5cm. The shortest seemed to sound the best...
