    Fried Studio IV

    Pete B we may never know for sure the answer to your question. You might be correct that Eminence was asked to clone that woofer. One would have to find someone that worked for Fried or Eminence during that era to find the truth of the matter. Possibly someone at Meniscus Audio might know. I...

    New find Fried Speakers...thoughts or comments?

    The crossover of the model Q speakers are not designed for the Hiquphon tweeters. Also they wouldn't fit the model Q enclosures. IIRC a Seas tweeter was used in the first model Q speaker. Phase Tech oem tweeters were used in later model Q and A speakers.

    Fried C2 mini spkrs- questions re the original Hiquphon tweeters

    Fried did use the Scan Speak 2008 with the C2 model but not the C3 or C3L models. He used a RC contour network with the tweeter. You can see the 2ohm resistor and 2.2mfd cap on the crossover diagram. This is a shelving circuit which allows the first order crossover to be used with the 2008...

    Fried C2 mini spkrs- questions re the original Hiquphon tweeters

    Ellis Audio still sells the Fried version of the Hiquphon tweeter that use ferrofluid. The price is now $300 per pair.ref=sr_1_3 I would not advise using the Scan Speak 2008 tweeter with Fried C3 model. The crossover could eventually burn out the 2008 tweeter. Fried used a first order series...

    Companies that make their own drivers vs those that dont

    Back in the early 90's I heard some of the Osborn speakers from Australia.. They used either the Focat T-90 or T-120 inverted domes. I thought the Focal domes were harsh and sibilant compared to the Hiquphon tweeters I listen to.

    Companies that make their own drivers vs those that dont

    The older Wilson Watt Puppies from the early 90's had their 6.5" drivers custom made. It was a Seas doped paper cone unit with an inverted surround. BITD there were US based companies like Precision Sound, Gefco and Carboneau, etc. who made drivers. Some of these companies made all of the parts...

    Hi, because of AK Forum rules buying and selling can only be discussed in Dollars and Sense. I have no idea what a pair may sell for now. A pair of new Hiquphon tweeters are $300 now.

    Has anyone found a pair of speakers and said "I'm done"?

    I have not purchased an assembled set of speakers since I was a teenager. After building kits I have been very satisfied with the speakers I have built in my basement.

    Carbonneau stopped making oem drivers around 1991. This caused many speaker companies to find a new source for their oem drivers.

    Mass Loaded Transmission Line Speakers

    There is a lot of low frequency sound that exits line terminus from the vent of T-Lines I have listened to my Fried C3L enclosures on my kitchen table after installing the drivers. The vent is at the rear of the enclosure. When listening to the enclosures from the rear the amount of bass coming...

    The egg crate is low density but no the exact type used to dampen the lines. The Airtex regular density is the type Fried used. 14759583.html Most fabric stores have large rolls and sell it by the foot. I have yet to find any PC program that models foam in transmission lines. Many like Fried...

    Mass Loaded Transmission Line Speakers

    Walmart usually has the polyester fiber fill in stock. 20713592 When it comes to low density polyurethane foam it has a much higher bulk density than poly fil. The last two folds of the line would require one piece in the middle placed vertically in the line. I have experimented with poly fill...

    Mass Loaded Transmission Line Speakers

    Fried claimed he did give advice to Amar Bose when it came to the Wave Radio design. IIRC there is a circuit to boost the bass in the wave radio design. The Fried O1 and SM1 subwoofer designs were offset a little. They were the wide less deep enclosure designs. I don't have the plans on my...
