@bache I will look into this, RTA, appreciate it. I guess it's time to start getting serious about this, by that I mean seriously funner. I hope. Thanks bud.
Whizzer cone removal
I've got a pair single driver speakers I've supplemented with a ribbon supertweeter and single cap crossover at 3khz. I'm just wondering about very carefully removing the whizzer and if anybody has tried this and if it worked to positive effect. Thanks!

@fourwnds Agree with bache 100%... this should help Program and Mic Measure your speakers after you cut the whizzer off, you’ll get a good look immediately where they roll off. Quite easy then to figure where to cross the tweeter. https://www.roomeqwizard.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Meteor-Studio-Microphone-Titanium/dp/B00FQE337M/ref=sr_1_39?ie=UTF8&am... Or Better: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT2020USB-Condenser-Microphone-Refurbished/dp/B016YL4POK/ref=s... Both are decent, will definitely get the job done. |
@timlub this is great information! I just picked up a laptop and I'm going to get into this business soon. Much obliged. Btw, I have since removed the whizzer and honestly I can't tell a bit of difference. What I can say is that some speaker position refinement, by ear still, is making a dramatic difference(at least to me). I thought I had it pegged but . . no. The difference is the channel balance, reverb on the recording and a gestalt overall. I have for a long time cheated the room with dual vol. control, and since picking up the Decware Torii, I have had to reckon with it. Such a frustrating pain in the ass, but the difference between something not quite right but very listenable and oh there it is, is really what all the fussin is about |
I found that removing the whizzer had zero effect. Already employed the super tweeter when I did it. Adding the s tweeter added some more air and detail but it wasn’t a night and day difference. The driver in these was not what Decware uses now or then and was a custom choice. But, I am happy with them. I’m sure one day I’ll change them. But for now they are great. Looking forward to how a deviation from Grado is going change the system sound at this point. |
