    DIY speakers for a 300B SET

    Currently using the SB Acoustics ARA in a small room and it sounds nice but I know I can do better. I have been considering the Helios, the Ceramics, and the Jintanis. All by Shazdi and Bagby. has anyone heard any of them using SET tube amps?

    regards,
    John

      I've got a pair of Helios, but I'm all solid state. I vaguely remember a comment that the Zmin was around 5 ohms, but I'd have to see if I nabbed an impedance plot to confirm. The tweeter used in that design is Not A Good Value. A Bliesma T34A could hit the Fc without a waveguide and would cost less. However, I went with the pre-canned design since designing my own takes a while.

          Helios mk2 - The Two Towers
          by Bear
          When last we left our intrepid adventurer, a bunch of orcs had attacked Middle Earth with a virus causing Bjorn to flee to his bathroom to make speakers. Much like this opening, that effort really didn't turn out well. Here's the original thread, including some of the discussion of the Helios design...

          Helios Build Thread
          by RookieBuilder
          Time for a Helios project. Between the sad news of Jeff Bagby's passing and having built his Quarks years ago and really enjoying them I was intrigued by the Helios. I have been wanting to try something with a waveguide and higher end drivers for a long time so this seemed like a great option. I...

          Helios mk1 - A cautionary tale
          by Bear
          As I've mentioned in other threads, the Helios design by the late Jeff Bagby (and the not-late Javad Shadzi) is my current project. I am looking for "something reasonable" (put that in a QFD!): relatively high performance, not absurd expenses (~$1k/channel), and something that I can get done...

          Exploring Common DIY Terminology - Cone
          by technodanvan
          Cone

          The cone of a loudspeaker driver refers to the diaphragm or membrane that moves air to produce sound. A cone is distinguished from a dome in that it is almost always a concave shape. It is a crucial component responsible for converting electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, resulting in the creation of sound waves. The cone typically consists of several layers and materials, each serving a specific purpose.
