Dear Real World Audio, We like your analysis very much. If you would like to test the drivers please contact us we can arrange you getting a pair for your tests. You can find a contact form on our website.
Dear Grzegorz, it was my pleasure, I admire all the effort and thought that went into your designs! I would be delighted to test them out, will contact you through your website. Kind Regards, Janos
Hi Janos, thanks for the analysis. I always like videos like this because I think I can learn a lot. Will there be a part 2? And if is not asking too much, once you talk again about loudspeaker cabinets, can you please talk about the differences about TL, ML-TL, TQWT, ML-TQWT, and maybe other similar derivates? For me it got confusing once I tried to google it after finding some of these terms on cube audio website
Hi Thiago, yes, I will make a video on the different types of transmission lines - will use the CA cabinets as a starting point, will be a nice continuation to the CA videos. Ate logo, João
Obviously drivers have a cost covering a wide range. It is the wrong attitude to think of all of them as whether I can afford it or not, and only look at those that one can afford and ignore the rest. Study them all!!!!!!!!! Especially if you want to become a loudspeaker designer. This is your homework, that you cannot miss out. You need to be aware, then you can make good choices between the drivers you can afford. I will continue with other drivers as well, ones that I have on my radar, some much more affordable. I do n ot know the Beyma line up, if you can recommend a full range one (provided they have one), I can do an analysis on it ;
@@realworldaudio yup that's true, I was joking im actually learning a lot, plz do accuton Or some other high end brands I would love to see even though u have covered accuton once a little bit, there are other brands as well Good luck Nice vid btw
Janos I looked up the Magus and it is a hybrid design using both neodymium and ferrite magnets. Also I see a significant dip at the 3khz to 5khz range on the neo that I do not see on the hybrid Magus. This maybe indicative of the recess that you were talking about with neodymium that does not appear with ferrite or alnico.Lots of neodymium magnets involved but where is the plus 100db sensitivity that one would expect from such a powerful magnet?Regards Lou
Indeed, I was wondering about that too. Their Neo drivers are way less efficient than they could be. However, they appear to have very strong bass compared in comparison to the rest of the frequency spectrum, so I suspect they engineered the response to peak in the bass. My hunch is they used a very strong spider to limit the efficiency, and force low extension...
I did mention Lowthers in the past several times. Thank you for the reminder, will mention about Lowther, and specifically my impression of Lowthers vs Cube Audio. ; )
If either aren't in a cabinet & sitting in my room to enjoy!??....measurements graphs, means nothing...try finding & viewing A/V showrooms video reviews! (RU-vid) Sound demo/assessments I think maybe helpful!?? Yes/no?
Superb point! Actually, listening to sound reviews does have some use, usefulness limited by the system used to listen to it. While they do not show you the whole picture, you can gauge certain elements, such as tonal balance. I'll make a video on it.... Until then, if you use the same system to listen to everything, and you know how your system colors and limits, then you can gauge the comparisons fairly well.
