Anyone know who this is? A forum member maybe?

 

Looks to be using predominantly HiVi drivers - The speakers appear well finished in the photos, the website is fairly full, drivers are reasonable quality.

John and Mike, British by the sounds.

I had found that part... was wondering a bit more about their background, if anyone knows..... Their TL 10" sub looks too small to be a true TL loaded subenclosure. I have seen 12" ones, and their massive things,

Gidday TT,

 

I see someone asked that question on the TM page.

 

They sure market their cables hard ...

 

"Cable developed for NASA ... This wire is then silver plated. High frequency above 3000Hz travels on the surface of the cable (referred to as skinning). By silver plating the cable the high frequency travels through the silver not the copper."

 

Er? Antiopdes, maybe you could chime in on that second one, but I didn't know that the cable could tell the the HF from the rest of the frequencies.

 

Cheers, Shane.

Google "skin effect". the Wikipedia link gives plenty of detail.

Apparently NASA must have multiple suppliers. Nordost also develop and manufacture cable for aerospace applications.

If true - it could be the answer to many a crossover dilemma, no need for a dividing network, just silver plated wire, with the plating going to the tweeter and the copper going to the bass/mid. Why has no-one thought of this.:rolleyes:

Thanks Brendan,

 

that's what I thought they were talking about but I was too lazy to check ... will look a bit later for some light reading.

 

Cheers, Shane.
