Rick et al,For over an year now I have had an eye on getting a floorstander with RAAL ribbon. Rick not sure if you remember I had even contacted you regarding this once. Since I am not yet ready to pull the trigger, I didn't want to send you a personal mail and thought would post on this forum.I was wondering what do people feel is the best match for RAAL ribbon - ideally a 7" mid-bass. From designs that I have reviewed by Rick, Jim Salk and Jed at clearwave, it seems 3 drivers are popular1. Seas excel2. Scanspeak revelator/ illuminator3. AccutonNot sure if Jed uses Accuton neos, which are almost $900 a piece.Anyway would love to hear people's thoughts.
Rick,what size cabinet does Verita ported version come in?Also if I were to get RAAL 70-20XR with a pair of illuminator 7" instead of a single 7", approximately how large of a cabinet are we looking at? I know you have done 100s of variations with RAAL but was wondering if you have heard this design live and can comment on it.
Rick,I just realized that you did recently do Tempesta Xtreme which had two 7" illumunator and RAAL but instead of 2 way was a 3 way with an Accuton mid. Would you recommend a two way ?
i believe the verita uses the raal 70-20xr, and to most of rick 2 way design. Now i wonder if that particular driver would be superior to the 70-10d.Now one thing that i notice is diffrent with Rick desing, is that the high frequency extension only goes up to 20HZ for-3db, im not sure if that has to do with the measurement equipment used. Most other designber who uses Raal, have much extended HF, regarless weather human would be able to hear or not.
Rick, based on jonbee review of his tempesta and soundstage for the verita, it seems that the raal you tune, lean on the laid back side. Would it be possible to have the upper end tune differently?
He tried this with the Verita pair that went to Audioholics and it wasn't very well received there. Maybe you should look at other tweeters like the Scanspeak Be or AirCirc?
I'd take anything said there with a grain of salt.
