You'd never know that from the description! So like a vox amplug, then?

No idea what this is: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316037848911?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3yayhehcsfc&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY "Guitar for Phone / for T4V71210 Features:1.The guitar is the instrument interface adapter adapter and guitar and bass tone mobile software an easy to use 2.adapter into the headphone jack 3.insert bass guitar adaptation 4.stresses headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack adapter 5.You can turn on and began to shake"

She'll hate this https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/small-2-way-speakers-with-linear-on-axis-and-power-response-characteristics-scan-speak-and-sb-acoustics-drivers-h-v-off-axis-measurements-included.41757/ Is this too good to be true? All it needs is a pair of subs, or on its own as nearfield.

Not a bass line to be heard. And no snare. How can this be so freakin funky!? It shares something with Public Enemy...

It does look good. Should we start a new thread dedicated to non-bass amp and speaker builds?

I'm chuffed that you managed to save the bridge.

Nina Simone's Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Brings tears to this manbaby's eyes.

I was never that keen on UB40's covers, but their hearts were most certainly in the right place."Labour of Love" was what it said on the tin.

I had one, it does record really well.

Yes. I had a look. Was tempted by a power supply/power amp board but I have food and drugs to buy first.

Do they have any more?

So THAT's what it's for 😁

12 year old me was astonished by Coz I Luv U. "That singer doesn't need a microphone!!!" I'd love to have heard Noddy+AC/DC.

Between me and Mr Horse, I think we've pulled off the greatest thread derail since Stop Posting Without Reading. Appo pollo loggies, my droogies.

Yes that's what mine look like. When did you work for Tannoy? These, and their predecessors the Monitor Golds, were their flagship. They proved too expensive to manufacture (the hf driver fires through dozens of exponential holes in the magnet, then the cone continues the exponential curve so the hf from 1kHz up is horn loaded, very sensitive and thereby suffers less from thermal compression) so they dumbed down with the DC2000, still dual concentric but with separate hf unit. Then they did the Mercury and other bog standard boxes. They recently(ie this century) reissued the hpds for staggering prices. They have a unique sound that doesn't appeal to people who like Beats headphones, i think the average age of a tannoy hpd owner is similar to the Basdchat mean, but I wouldn't swap them for ordinary boom and tizz boxes.

They made them like that between 1979 and some time in the 80s. They were standard in British studios; Dennis Bovell, Mad Professor and others still prefer them. I have four, and have reconed more than once. You can still buy the cones, but sadly not the speakers. They are beautiful loudspeakers. Google "tannoy hpd"

Yes, I have four of then 😀

Excellent piece, Phil. Here's how Tannoy attempt to reduce cone breakup:And how it's encouraged in guitar speakers:

"All you need is a router*, a dremel and a bag of weed" *rhymes with "shouter" 😉

Yes, that's what I meant.

Truly naff. It could so easily have been designed to flow, just looks like a quick and dirty DIY bodge on a cheap copy. And, yeah, the string/neck alignment.

Let us know how that goes, I have one or two candidates for a bit of liposuction

Yes, they were never great. +1 for coax, you can't move for Tannoy speakers here at Bremen Towers.

I always thought a whizzer was an extension to the cone, rather than a separate transducer. Used to see them on cheapo record players - the luxury ones had separate tweeters.
