Looks like Tom Petty liked full range drivers

LE10T + PR of same ilk. I used to have the baby version of that with the LE8T's

I believe they are these...

I was listening "Learning to fly" a few days ago and thought about those songs and musicians that we no longer see or hear on mainstream media..and then I hear such news

 

[Cal Weldon]

I think you're right Godzilla. At first they looked bigger than 8" hence my guess but I can't find a product using the LE10T.

Too bad they aren't as tough as my ex-friend is.

The cost of new cones priced them out of the repair market.

kinda "colored" sound IIRC even with the cone tweeter- also assuming their surrounds were like the LE15, then could get very stiff with age. There seem to be plenty of replacement surrounds in black - white cost moer)

bottom may be a PR

 

[Cal Weldon]

It was.

There was a thread I saw once where there were two active full range drivers in one cabinet. The lower one was larger and for bass with different Qts. The interactions of the drivers via the sealed cabinet was such that the upper used the bottom as a partial passive radiator, plus it was actively driven. It seems counterintuitive but my initial Akabak sims showed promising results. I have been meaning to try this.

is it wishful thinking to expect the following to have value in a two X FR setup?
