Martintelli vs. Metal


We had a chance at yesterday's New England Valve Club Meet to compare Eminence PSD2002's in a metal horn and in Bill Martinelli's wood horn. (We had two sets of drivers - we weren't madly swapping back and forth!)

The speaker system used was Theater 4 guts reincarnated in a Karlson cabinet, Pi xover and the Eminence driver.

On swapping to the "woodies", it was immediately apparent that they were much smoother and sweeter, which wasn't a big surprise, but the treble seemed more extended as well. Still scratching my head over that, although the flare shapes were somewhat different . . .

I'd say the woodhorn made a lot of new friends yesterday . . . . ;-)


Keep your ears and your mind open.
