TABAQ

I have used these Tang Band W5-1611SDF full range speakers in my back-loaded horn cabinets and they are incredible. The design is based on some drawings by a Dutch speaker designer (other photos and details on request).

They are a wonderfully simple solution to high quality sound reproduction with just one driver that handles the complete audio spectrum. The W5-1611SDFs extremely smooth, extended frequency response.

The picture also shows a guest appearance of my wonderful Cayin TA-30 valve amplifier.

  • Hi!

    Great design!

    Do you use some sort of baffle step filter?

  • Hi Rob,
    No filters used at all - just wired up. I’ve sadly sold them to a friend because of ****e issues, but there’s another speaker in me waiting to come out! Perhaps a Tuby.
    I had the idea to modify this design so that the throat outlet fires foward for a bit more clout, even though we can’t really detect where lower frequencies come from.
