AE TD12M8 midrange driver test

Her kjørte jeg ut fulltonelyd på denne driveren, og det låter bare helt utrolig. Dette er faktisk en bassdriver, i hovedsak samme driver som brukes i Ø Audio Icon. Man får faktisk med mye av diskantlyden også, og den går veldig høyt opp til å vare en bass/mid-driver.
Den skal brukes sammen med inConcert Miles høyttaleren, og delingen blir fra ca 300 opp til ca 2000Hz i denne kassen.

Never considered AE drivers as for $1260/pair I have to trust in the price only without any data sheet provided. Or they did hide it so good that I was mot able to find it

These speakers are expensive, but worth every penny. I've used them for speakers built for my customers, and also in my own home theater. ;)
I found the spec sheet (AE TD 12M8) at once at Google. Here's a link for you: loudspeakerdatabase.com/AE/TD12M-8

@@arvehunsbedt Thank you very much. I found loudspeakerdatabase specs a bit random (compared them with real datasheets and made sure of the uselessness). I wonder have you compared AE drivers with about the same with Faraday's ring? Many other manufacturers use it.

@@sc0or Yes, I have compared the regular version with the apollo version. I did not take measurements of them, unfortunately. But listening carefully, I could not make out any difference. I'm over 60, so maybe my hearing did not pick up the small diffence...
I'm told if you can afford the extra cost for the apollo version, go for it. Less distortion and better heat transfer.

@@arvehunsbedt ...and better roll offs as I can hear. Just a natural inductance based LPF without resonances. And that means less high order distortions in an upper freq range which cannot be avoided with XO cause a driver generates them by itself mechanically. It seems to be a good driver. Hm..
PS And thank you for the info about AE vs Faraday's ring comparison. Local stores do not provide a good list of different drivers, so I'll order them online, and it's willing to make a perfect choice from the first attempt )
