Great! thanks guys. The fact that RL is using these $100 drivers is really surprising to me and bodes well for their sound as RL usually use quite expensive drivers like Lowther and AER.

Title: Hoping for Hemp Post by brad on 11/08/05 at 23:34:48 Wouldn't it be great if someone sold the Omega Loudspeakers hemptone drivers separately? I wonder what they'd sound like in an HDT cab? As far as I can tell ABrown is the manufacturer (or at least the patent holder/licensor of the hemp cone technology) If you're interested send an email to them (ttub@abrown.com) asking them to make an 8" full range driver for the DIY community, as I did! ;-) They supposedly have something in the works. Wouldn't it be great to have a USA made driver for a change?! ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Hoping for Hemp Post by brad on 11/09/05 at 18:29:55 The Qts is much higher than the FE206E and the bass looks to be better (5db higher at 40 hz if the graphs are to be believed). Also compared to the FE206E - Higher Xmax, lower mass, but magnet half the size. Hmmm... This could work well in the original MKI cabinet?  E-Speakers and Solen sells them for around $100 each... |

Title: Re: Hoping for Hemp Post by brad on 11/10/05 at 07:37:23 I lost the link. But I read on a forum about someone who had heard these hemp drivers in the LamHorns at the show and was extremely pleased with how they sounded. They mentioned not being able to afford to buy a LamHorn cabinet (which I can identify with ;D) and was asking if Bob Brines could design a cabinet for them. Maybe it was Brines forum... will have to look for it again. |
