Hi

We would be delighted to welcome any forum members to the World Designs room to meet up and have a chat.

I'm also hoping we can have the WD25T EX speakers on dem - I'm running a trial pair at the moment to see if there are any final wrinkles to iron out. These are basically the 'EXELlent' version of WD25T fitted with Millenium treble units and a new crossover to suit.

Details of the development of the WD25A EX were given in Hi-Fi World recently and this crossover has now been refined further and incorporated in the WD25T.

Hi Peter,

Interesting, this is pretty soon after the excellent V2 crossover.
Thanks for supplying that for me by the way!

Is this the E0011-06 T25CF002?

I see that it is 4 db less sensitive than the XL tweeter and higher mass (I know sensitivity is absolutely no measure of quality) and has a slightly lower free air resonance, does this mean you can get away with a less complex crossover?
Obviously I'm no engineer so i'm probably looking at all the wrong things.

Did you hear something from the millenium that the existing excel T29cf001 did not offer?

Will you continue supplying the excel and standard options?

Perhaps a super duper version perhaps with a nextel bass cone would be in the works one day?

I noticed there is a seas "29" - 29mm dia. version of the new tweater you are evaluating, would this offer any additional features if incorporated?

I did go to the show and saw Peter.
I have to say overall I was disappointed with most of the sounds I heard at the show....WD was the exception. I'm not just saying that b/c of this forum.

I had heard the original incarnation of the WD25, the new ones with the new cabinet material and tweeter were much more relaxed. A very nice sound indeed.
