Looks like Hi-Vi put up some specs on their new coax mid-tweeter.
Apologies if this is a repost.

Nope, not a repost....
That's a really strange driver..... 8O

There's an even stranger Hi-Vi "triaxial" coming out soon.Comment

In theory, how would an arrangement (maybe not this driver though) like this with a W on either side of it make a center? Would the combing effects be present?Peter

i'm sure people like AJ would be interested in these weird speakers...Comment

Combing is significantly an issue of how high the drivers on either side end up playing. So yes, probably still an issue here. On my MTM the impact is as low as ~800Hz I think.

Theil is doing a very similar design, with great success. Those HiVi S1's definately have my interest ... they're worth playing with I think.Comment

I can't imagine this one as a low distortion driver. Looks like some sort of adaption of their planar "ribbon" tweeter, which is a distortion generator IIRC. Who knows though, with the tweeter section crossed at 8K it shouldn't be a problem.

Any more info?Originally posted by Chris7-JoshComment

None whatsover. Saw them months ago. Looks like chinese bling junk to me. The right direction but they are just flailing about. That unit covers a range where there needs not be an XO or multiple diaphragms. Probably not real well either.Originally posted by cotdt

I agree 90%, but...Originally posted by AJINFLA
What non-exotic (<$1000) driver can cover 800Hz to 20Hz without compromising dispersion. Also, since they will probably be cheap to buy they might make good material for experimenting with interesting looking designs.-JoshComment

The triaxial is called the Trinity 6. Not sure about the details, all I have is this scan from a Hi-Vi ad I found while reading another forum.Originally posted by jdybnis
There are better photos on the Hi-Vi website, though you have to have great patience for it to load:

I doubt the mid/tweet co-ax from a Theil 2.4 would test perfectly, but they sound fantastic ... probably in large part due to the point source configuration.
Who knows how these sound, but I'd be willing to give them a shot because they're at least trying to produce something unique - props for that. And if the capture just a fraction of the positive attribues Thiel has, they're worth a listen.Comment

They actually have a store in Old Town, Pasadena. I can try to see if they have any more info on the Trinity 6.Comment

Can cover? I'll reserve judgement on the useablity of a 650 Fs driver down to 800hz when I see some measurements. My XT-25 "Can cover" 800-30k. But I'm sure not going to use it in that rangeOriginally posted by jdybnis . SPtech is using regular ol' tweeters to cover that range. An Aura NSW2 can cover that range (up to about 16k). Its not too exotic.

Klang + Ton (german mag 1-2007) tested the three-way version. It will also be tested in HobbyHifi 2-2007 (don't have it yet). It is sold in europe by expolinear (www.expolinear.de)
Response looks horrible btw.Comment

Likewise, it was tested in Voice Coil a while back and the response curves looked horrible. No idea about non-linear distortion performance, but my hopes aren't exactly high. Hi-Vi makes some good stuff but they make some poor performers too.Originally posted by sliceofhogan
I wish we could get all the cool magazines that the Germans get. K+T is supposedly online, but it's still in German and the purchase routine didn't work for me anyway. (Distortion plots are the universal language) :BComment

Zaph - do like the germans do, start your own cool magazine :B
btw: got the HobbyHifi, graphs look the same (that is horrible)Comment

Klang and Ton can be downloaded here: http://www.lloxx.de/KLANG___TON_eMag...magazin.0.html
Just in case anyone wants to start a digital collection.Comment
