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?
I had a pair from an ancient Phillips stereo that had these things.
6.5in across with foam surround yes? Made by Elac, used to cost
pennies @ Wilmslow, sounded amazingly good. I kept the speakers for
years after the stereo, until I started using them as my bathroom
system. Paper cones and baths don't work that well though!
*Bathroom* system? - I missed that bit!
Cool.......
