Review: Ciao sono Francesco, ho letto recensioni assurde prima di fare il primo aquisto di questo marchio di cui non conoscevo prima, come gente che li si sono bruciati o roba simile!... O sono totalmente inesperti e hanno fatto test assurdi senza sapere quello che facevano convinti di sapere... e danno la colpa al prodotto, o sono scritte dalla concorrenza!... Sono da anni che costruisco impianti audio hi-fi e car, ho provato per curiosità e per conoscere i prodotti di ogni marca e genere, componenti di fascia e prezzi differenti, ecc!... Detto ciò...a questo prezzo...completo di flangia/tromba, condensatore, esteticamente carini, ma la cosa più essenziale...ottimi materiali..., prima di provarli ho testato se gli ohm e le frequenze erano quelle dichiarate...e lo sono...a differenza di marchi che si strapaga materiale che non vale i soldi spesi, la membrana/bobina e di ottimo materiale!... Consiglio di collegare il condensatore che funge come una sorta di protezione per sbalzi di corrente e di conseguenza piu durata della bobina..., di evitare i test senza senso per vedere fin dove si sentono...portandoli a volumi che vanno oltre la loro portata se non volete avere problemi o che si bruci la bobina, cosa che può succedere anche se spendete 2000 euro per un driver, dipende da come si tratta, come ogni cosa!... Io l'ho montato su una cassa attiva che uso come monitor, con woofer ciare pw257, e amplificatore in classe AB senza scendere nel dettaglio..., e suonano alla grande, suono ben definito, infatti ne ho ho ordinati altri, altrimenti facevo il reso se erano una schifezza!... Ah ovviamente ricordo per chi non si intende, che se sentono che il suono è ben definito ma un po duro...e normale perché sono nuovi...,con l'usura la membrana si ammorbidisce un po...se così si può dire, è risulteranno suonare meglio,...mi riferisco alla membrana fenolica!... al titanio, suonerà sempre circa uguale, ma a mio parere a un suono troppo squillante a fastidioso per chi ha un'orecchio pignolo e abituato alla qualità...come il mio!...
Review: Der Treiber mit dem Horn hat für mein Wohnzimmer einfach zu viel Power. Auch die starke Richtwirkung ist da nicht von Vorteil. Wie andere Leute berichten, ist die Schallabstrahlung aber auf Großveranstaltungen für die PA sehr erwünscht, Deshalb würde ich das Teil auch nicht schlecht bewerten.

*by B***G on 14 March 2025*

As I grow older I have more trouble understanding Movies and TV show dialogue I began looking at Klipsch and other speakers with Horn Tweeters as they have higher output in the areas I have issues hearing, so instead of buying new speakers I bought one of these to temporarily add to our Center Channel speaker, I just perched it on top and wired it up and it really helped with making most dialogue more understandable for me. I haven't attempted to level the output at all, I just used the capacitor they included with the horn tweeter and it's a little bright but that's good for me, I just received 2 more Horn Tweeters same as this one and also bought a 50w L-Pad to try and dial in the level to make the sound smoother, once I know the correct resistance I can permanently wire in the correct values and then install these in a box on top or design and build a set of custom speakers.
