    Transmission Line DIYers. Advice needed.

    Nat, thanks for sharing your knowledge! Your descriptions pretty much nailed what these speakers actually are. It seems I've stumbled across an Acoustical Labyrinth. As I mentioned above, a friend who has had much more time critically listening experience than me would like to hear a copy of...

    Transmission Line DIYers. Advice needed.

    I may have over extenuated the issue here. The fact of the matter is these VoM's are little jems! They are astounding.I thought by removing distortion lurking in corners might improve bass, But it looks like I'm trying to gild the lily. With the knowledge I've gained and the encouragement of a...

    Transmission Line DIYers.

    I may be going down that road. A friend here has been trying to convince we to use my furniture making talents to build a single driver TL. He's talking high end 5 1/2" driver - I'm having a hard time getting my head around taking the risk.

    Transmission Line DIYers. Advice needed.

    Thanks for the reference reading. I did not realize how much engineering and trial and error went into the TL speakers. I'm sure I have given the impression that I want to tweak these speakers because they don't sound good. That is not true! They are surprising little gems! It is just my nature...

    Voice of Music #38 transmision line tweaks

    Good morning Pete. I have some more info about the 38's. The box size is 12"x 12"x 18". And I found the frequency response for the 5 1/4" driver is 60 - 15,000 Hz. I have been extremely surprised by the sound of these little speakers. I bough them for pennies with only one speaker was working...

    Pete thanks for the responce. As best as I can estimate the transmition tube is 90" It is a single 4 5/8" driver, 15 watt, 30 peak and 8 ohms . That's about all the info I can provide with out a little coaching. I did have the voice coils rewound about 6 months ago. They sound good - hoping I...

    How can a tweeter be tempered?

    Over the past several months I have been experimenting with improvements to an old pair of University S-80 speakers. Changes have been basic, and I have done work to one speaker then compared with unmodified one then leap frogging changes. Work done to date: New caps - Bed liner applied to...

    Voice of music speakers-what are they?

    I am currently playing with a pair of VoM 38's I pick up last summer. One voice coil was shot, so had both drivers rebuilt. I am not sad I did, they are amazing little speakers. It is hard to believe that a pair of 4 1/2" driver could sound so good! Check out my posts - I've posted the rebuild...

    Hold on I'm new to this - and need some clarification. TS measurements? And what parameters? Is that physical measurements? The thing I know how to deal with are the boxes and they need a lot of work. But I am a furniture maker. There so photos of my case for the Fisher 400 somewhere. Anyone...

    VM mid-century mystery

    OK, Stuart, how do you know all this info about old speakers? Because of the dating difference from speaker to the cabinet I thought the blown speaker could have been an odd replacement. But both carry the same number. Ideas for the next step?

    Nat, It has been a hectic four months since thinking about my Voice of Music speaker project. Thanks for your kind offer to look into a solution. I have taken a tentative look into having the voice coil redone - from the little I've found it sounds like a big investment. Below is a photo of the...

    VM mid-century mystery

    I got the voice coil checked - no short! And the wires to the cone are in perfect condition. It is possible I had a bad connection, but i really doubt it. I will try again. This is a very small speaker for all this sound!
