I`m buying Klangfilm 13cm drivers

[Mario Pankov]

Hello all,

I`m looking for a pair of vintage Klangfilm midrange-tweeter drivers, they are 13cm with AlNiCo magnets and pressed paper cones. I have no information about this driver at all, but i will post a picture. If anybody has a pair of these, please let me know.

Hi,

These drivers were not make by Klangfilm or Siemens(typical ebay bulls%$*), but by Sachsenwerk(east german manufacturer of high quality radios and other electrical appliances). They were also never intended to be used in a Cinema. Nevertheless, the driver is excellent, both the Alnico magnet and the Ferrite magnet version.

You'll find the under "Sachsenwerk"

Usable from 3kHz to 12kHz, very efficient.

All the best,

Frank

Hello Frank,

I did listen to a pair of them at a friend of mine, yes they appear to be very sensitive. This will compensate their power handling and if cut high enough, they might work well in a 3-way system. I will look further in the link you have provided.

I was impressed by their natural and realistic sound, however I didn`t like the chassis and I will try to replace it with a modified Seas Prestige chassis will see what would happen.

Mit freundlichen gruessen,

Mario
