Help to choose between Alerion & Pma6 Ob with "Tone Tubby" AlNiCo

HPH · 27th July 2009, 01:51 PM

Hi all,

Can you please kindly advice which one from Alerion dx55 or Pma6 with The woofer is a "Tone Tubby" AlNiCo guitar speaker, OB. which one has good sound for Jazz, pop, acoustic, vocal,...

Besides, I have 2 kids and they are very active (is it any any choice to eliminate the problem of reaching to the open wire in OB from he kids, pls advice).

I am using Marantz SA-15S1, Cayin A-88T, Rega P3-24 with Exact II cartridge, Era Gold V phono preamp.

Thanks and Best regards

The PM6A and the Tone Tubbies were used in our display at RMAF
last October with a passive crossover. I did not hear them, but they
were praised highly.

You can get information on them from Jon ver Halen at Lowther
America ( www.lowther-america.com )

I get excellent results with the PM6A in OB's with various woofers,
but quite a bit depends on the OB itself and the crossover. I use
active filters and bi-amp.

The Alerion is also very good, and I have enjoyed it very much, but
that said, I am a big fan of the OB approach.
