Hey, Almarro apparently is using the W4-1337s drivers we've been talking about lately...

Oh Foo, Jim!
May have to agree to disagree- after blowing up a few photos of that speaker online, and looking at my W4-1337 (which is a darker looking gray than the PE online photo), blowing up some online pictures at the Almarro site of their 4" midrange (as described by them), noting the relative diameter of the phase plug to cone and frame, color, etc, curvilinear profile of cone (used on Tangband, not on the Visaton) I'm pretty confident their midrange is sourced from TB.
Yeah, I really am that anal retentive at times....
And they should use a camera without so much barrel distortion when it's shot wide, or use DxO software to correct the perspective distortion... :Wthe AudioWorx

You are absolutely correct. ops: I was looking through the pictures posted from CES and it looked black to me but your closeup definitely indicates it's the TB with the silver/Grey frame rather than the Ti100.
So, any news on your measurements yet? We're anxiously awaiting your results!

Last year I had the chance to discuss with the designer of the Vivid loudspeaker drivers, Laurence Dickie when he was in the Netherlands. He also was the designer of the original B&W Nautilus system. We mainly discussed his solution for the voicecoil former, the use of radial stacked neodymium in his motor. The majority can also be read on the website of vividaudio. He also mentioned his catenary dome profile as one of the main contributors for the high break-up mode of the tweeter. He came up with that profile after some numerical analysis in a finite element program.
By the way, the Vivid speakers driven by Ayre and Chapter electronics sounded to my ears very good. Best commercial speakers I've ever heard. And very reasonably priced too, when compared too exotics like Rockport/Avalon/SonusFaber/WilsonAudio/Dynaudio- Bottom

Yeah, reading their site it's clear there was some top flight driver engineering. Hopefully they can translate that into an overall appeal to their end market; reasonable price certainly can't hurt. That was my thought too, seeing the midrange and tweeter drivers, that there had to be some "nautilus" thinking going on- had no idea it was the original guy from B&W!!

Don't know how it sounds . Wilson and Kharma also use automotive paint, I do no like the metalic finish. (I also do not park my car in my living room )- Bottom

Originally posted by JonMarshThat's exactly what I was thinking- looks like some pretty good engineering behind those Vivid driver components. Too bad we won't be seeing them at Parts Express or Madisound anytime... if they actually get 44kHz breakup for an aluminum dome tweeter, I think that's a record for that material.
The motor makes me think NRT. Him and Donald North share a bit of thinking on transducer design I imagine.
