Dayton ps220?
Hay Dave, I've been playing with the Dayton ps220... looks and sounds really good so far. Have you thought about doing EnaBl on this driver?
Aside from the sonic benefits, what treatment colors do you think could work well with the basic gray cone like the Dayton's?
Merry Christmas, and awaiting your reply!

For those of us that live in the Pacific Northwest, Grey "is" the basic color of our existance.
Looking at a grey cone is like peering through a porthole into our whole world, who would want to change that?

Chris,
If you venture to journey up the treacherous, winding mountain path to Castle Dlugos, you will eventually end up above all the clouds and fog that continuously choke the lowlands of your Island.
😀
BTW: I hope that your Christmas was a very Merry one!
Best Regards,
TerryO
I have thot about it, but with the current backlog of trial drivers (SEAS, Scanspeak, Audio Nirvana, Eminence ...) and not being able to keep ahead on the regular items, they await someone to special order some (you'll have mail)
Grey cones i usually take to black, adding any sort of colour just adds a tone to the grey (something brownish to make them techno-punkish might work). A standard EL70 is a good example of the standard grey cone treatment. Grey spots are standard, but i have done myself a pair with goldish spots and did up both the Eminence & Iris coaxs with whote spots. A set of B20 with dark blue spots was, IMO, not the best choice of spot colour.

Another round of FE126eN^2

A pair of glow in the dark FF85wKeN (actually black light). These are for Bernie's solid locust uFonkenSET (locust also reacts/glows under the black light). In daylight the spots are almost invisible.

Flourescent paints are scarce. i used an off-brand. It went on just like the stealth testors, so i hope it is fine.

Do you think you could paint the dustcap of the grey Alpair 7.3 speakers in the same color as the CSS SDX-7's phase plug (copper)?
If so, I would only need to wait for my new Hypex nCores and I'd go into sawdust-mode...

No i don't think i could do that. One might try but it would kill the HF.
What could be done, with Mark's cooperation, is to directly order a pair of grey A7.3 and pay/bribe/wheedle Mark to swap the dustcaps for those from the copper cones (that colour was originally done in the 1st gen CHR to get as close to SDX7 phase plug as possible).

Thats what I was thinking, but thanks anyways.
Didn't even know that painted drivers could be usable at all until I found this thread, so I thought I'd just ask...
Your work on the other drivers is amazing btw.
I'll shoot Mark a message and see what he says.
Hopefully I won't have to sell a kidney, because I am quite satisfied with them.

Dots contribute anything sonically or just for looks? And how do you get them that even and have that much patience for all those drivers!?
Also how do you "aim" the process at certain resonances? It seems like it would be more like a guess and check sort of deal where you guess once and then check to see if it actually helped

Go here to learn how to apply these little dots so that it is a planned and rewarding activity. Then poke around in the rest of the urls in the attached text file.

Yes it certainly does. The aesthetics are just a bonus.
Why, we don't really know. There is an algotithm for findng where the rings of spots go.

Will the glow in black light rings glow in the dark? Or just under black light? That would be very cool to have those going while some friends are over.
