Predictably, it's now E-X ...

10465252-md.jpg


Full range (20Hz @ -3dB in-room), active crossover between woofer and mid, and passive crossover between mid and tweeter using only 2 caps, one inductor and one resistor. Tri-amplified with 125W + 60W + 60W each.

The Ergo adventure may be over with these.

Me like.
What's the tweeter on those - partially horn loaded...nice.
Is that a 12" or 15" woofer?

i used to have a pair of TB2S+'s so I had to google these to have a look. Jesus H! they are not cheap are they? Mind you I am sure they sound fab.
 
MAIN SYSTEM:

1965: Philips 6" dual-cone drivers in "mouths" of 3' long 4" diam concrete pipe
1969: Kef Cantor
1970: Kef Cadenza
1990: Tannoy 613
1995: Tannoy D700

No plans to change (unless Lotto develops highly benevolent feelings for me)

STUDY SYSTEM:

Tannoy Mercury MX2 + Tannoy MX-SUB-10

Driven by a wee Denon DM-31, this actually sounds quite respectable...

:cool:
