Re: My exp. w 8" Isophon

Peeked at a couple of Isophon catalogs on the net, the range is truly quite expansive. Mine are half roll, cloth surround (haven't tried pleated/accordion). And .... stickered Blaupunkt (also seen some labelled Echolette as well). After two years, finally tried some small four or five inch wings, which was a noticeable plus (baffle size 24" x 29"). Carboard no less (will get around to something a little more eye pleasing when convenient).

Tweets .... vintage 60's/70's mass-fi pulls [land of the rising sun (woofs same)]. Started with small, coax mounted (flown by wire) dipole cones (wired out of phase). Then ... some semi-vintage ceramic bullet horns. My two current drivers are really quite tasty. Don't know that I'll bother detouring through regular vint American iron, before giving fieldcoil an eval (sometime down the road). First though, will be a return cross check using birch ply (new baffles are butcher block), and perhaps mounting the twelve higher up/closer to top.
