Hello Community. For those currently planning upcoming builds, your driver options are expanding. In addition to the soon to be released Satori 187mm MW19p woofers, new 8" subwoofers, and neo-magnet TW29RN tweeters, SB Acoustics will be adding a 'DX25-esque with copper' tweeter, model SB29SDC, and the Carbon Fiber/Rohacell coned 6" SB17CRC35-4/8 mid-woofers to the lineup. The preliminary partial parameters for the 8 ohm driver include; an Re-5.7ohms, Fs-29hz, Qts-.35, Vas-40ltrs., Sd-118cm2, 2.83v/1m-87db, and Xmax-5.5mm. Additional driver sizes and data are forthcoming. Also, we should soon see all-new members of the Tymphany/Peerless HDS family of drivers equipped with massive under-hung, FEA-optimized motors, replete with copper-capped pole-pieces and shorting rings. A variety of diaphragm materials and driver sizes are on offer. I will provide further details upcoming..........

An underhung with all the goodies HDS sounds very intriguing.--

I have not found any credible research showing that most of the differences we hear among loudspeakers cannot be explained by examining these two variables." -Alvin Foster, 22 BAS Speaker 2 (May, 1999)Comment

Carbon Fiber/Rohacell.... They have gone over to the dark side I fear.Comment

Look forward to seeing these carbon drivers. Also looking forward to the new range from SEASComment

Competition is usually very good for the consumers.
Looks like a new family of instant classics.

Becsuse they are using a superior cone configuration ?Originally posted by fdieck View Postcraigk

Yes that must be it... Too bad you are stuck with those mushy Scan Speaks.Originally posted by craigk View PostComment

the SS were just my bad luckOriginally posted by fdieck View Post
. there have been some really good Rohacell drivers in the past. the Focal W series is very good.

Re: Carbon/Rohacell drivers from SB Acoustics-more!!
I am just giving you a hard time and I love your Scan Speak two ways. I have one of those woofers I got with a bad surround that I fixed. I am not read to give up on paper as there are many paper drivers from Viva and SB Acoustics that are drop dread good. I think there are some very good non paper drivers like the Scan Speak damped fiberglass Discovery series cones. I have heard several composite cones that I don't like, some of the Etons come to mind. Also my pockets are only so deep.Comment

Is it the Eton cones or the motors you don't like?Originally posted by fdieck View PostComment

Re: Carbon/Rohacell drivers from SB Acoustics-more!!
I knew you were. I am with you on the paper, good mids and paper go well together. today there are great sounding drivers made from all types of materials. the depth of ones pockets is always the final issues. waiting to hit the lottery.Originally posted by fdieck View Postcraigk

Re: Carbon/Rohacell drivers from SB Acoustics-more!!
My experience is with the older 8"Hexacone that had a fairly bad cone resonance, no shorting rings, fairly low Qms, no vented pole piece, or venting under the spider, and a limited Xmax. The new ones address some of these issues but cost a fortune and still have poorer performance the many less expensive drivers. I really think the SB Acoustics are amazing values for the money. I hope this continues with the new cone materials. My experience is they have great dynamics including good resolution of quiet sounds.Originally posted by timw View PostComment
