AE TD6M - Experiences?

Sveinung · 19th March 2011, 09:30 AM

I am planning a three way speaker with RAAL dipole 140-15D above +-2k5 and AE TD15 below +-300hz. I think the TD6M looks like a interesting mid range driver for this speaker, but I am not sure since I cannot find any recommendations/experiences on the web for this driver.

Does anyone here have experience with the TD6M driver?

One other possibility is to use one or two acoustic elegance Dipole6 as midrange.

No one in here who have tested these nice looking drivers?

I can't say anything about this speaker, but i can say that Nick & John know what they are doing when it comes to designing & making drivers.

Yest, that is my experience also. I think John does a fantastic job! I already have the TD12X in a two way, but are going to build a even bigger and (hopefully) better speaker. But I think I have not found anyone yet that have actually used this drivers by them self.

I'm hoping someone uses them before new NY as I have another design I'd like to try them. I'll buy them on faith though as I like the 15X and 10M I already have.

What's your plan brett ?

See my info here:

HTGuide Forum - Lambda TD6 tests on the way

and here:

Acoustic Elegance • View topic - TD6 measurements

They sound pretty good...well better than good, but I only kept them long enough to test, get an idea and then send back to the owner. I also like the 18 Sound 6ND430 for that style midwoofer. Doesn't have the dip in response. Not quite a clean sounding, but close.

Thanks for the links.

Did you ever find out what was causing the dip in your measurements ?

Nope. No one at AE ever followed up on the thread over there.

Sveinung, I saw your post on the AE forum as well. I would not personally use the TD for a dipole design. Look at my picts...the magnet obscures the majority of the read of the driver. I ended up with the BG Neo10 and am beyond happy with their performance. See info here:

Raal 140, Neo10, AE Dipole 15 in the works
