Default Whacky driver mystery.....

...

I am in a maelstrom of kit-shifting (and now computer-cleaning, it seems!)
and have finally got round to trying an old pair of homemade standmounters
that have dwelt in the 'speaker heap', in my garage, for the last couple

of
years.

I've put 'em on and they sound quite amazing! (I'm cautiously thinking

they
might be the perfect solution to my current problems with terrible room
acoustics - bass honk and resonance).....

They are paper drivers - both the tweeter and the bass driver. (What a
blessed relief after Kevlar cones - now sold!) But the mystery is the bass
driver - it's about 7 inches Ø and has a smaller cone about 3 inches Ø
protruding from it whicjh is rather like the last inch of a trumpet's, er,
bell end! (Can't post a pic atm!)

Anyone ever seen the like?


they are 'full range' drivers, the smaller central paper cone is a 'whizzer'
the driver prob is 40 - 50 hz to 16 -18 khz or similar,
is the tweeter a piezo? if it is, then no crossover inside so a CLEAN sound.
regards malcolm
