In Reply to: Why aren't such wonderful, true "full range" drivers more popular today ? (nt posted by peppy m. on December 13, 2024 at 04:50:35:
They are popular in my opinion. All Zu speakers use a 10" Eminence full range the Tekton Lore uses the same Eminence driver without the phase plug and beauty ring the Zu speaker uses. The Ohm Walsh speakers from 1972 to 1981 used a single full range driver and were very popular. Omega speakers have models using a single full range driver Cube audio also have models using a single full range driver. Pure audio project use Tang band 8" full range along with 15" Eminence for bass and even the world's most known speaker manufacturer JBL had models with a single full range driver like the JBL C48 Madison. Lowther also are still making amazing speakers using a single full range driver including one of the most legendary speakers ever produced the "Lowther Hegman reproducer"
In Europe brands like Beyma, B&C, Lowther and Monacor all make full range whizzer/dual cone drivers and there are manufacturers in Europe that use those drivers in commercially available speakers. In Asian countries they have very popular Fostex, Lii song, Tang Band and Sb acoustics all make full range drivers and many more lesser known brands.
Full range are actually more used than multi driver speakers if you count all the old school table top radios from the mid 1930's to the 1960's just about all Tv's ever produced factory car speakers even today with a few exceptions. Walkie talkies, headphones, all telephones that were ever made including smartphones. Full range speakers are all around us everyday most people in the world use full range speakers daily and have for a very long time.
Quick list of full range drivers available today off the top of my head so I am sure iam leaving some brands out. I am not going to include vintage or out of business or out of production models. The list would be too long and I can't remember all of them off the top of my head with my 53 year old memory.
Mark audio, Audio nirvana, Lii song, Fostex, Lowther, Tang band, Eminence, Cube audio, Omega, B&C, Beyma, Monacor, Sb acoustics, Dayton audio, Fane, Celestion
