Re: Valves and LS35A's
The Adires are not a full range driver. Like the old Tannoys they have a bullet tweeter in the middle of the diaphragm.
I had a pair once; they hint at real greatness but theyare so very different from e.g. Isobariks or for that matter LS3/5as. They are 95db sensitive so good for even 2A3SE amps. A KEL84 would get them really cooking. If I had enough time and money I would not have sold them on. I like'em. But then Isobariks are quite incredible and unique. |

Re: Valves and LS35A's
I looked at the review, it was in 2002, frightening how time passes! I have a copy of the pdf from the diy supplement if anyone feels they need it.

Re: Valves and LS35A's
Hi John-the link you inserted is the one !
As Andrew says there is a compression tweeter which fits behind the acousticly transparent dust cap. My pair are slightly different to the ones that Clive/Andrew/David have (had) as they had subtle design mods but not having heard both types cant comment on the sound. Philip

Re: Valves and LS35A's
Hi Phillip,
I am slowly finding out about my previous sheltered life since I joined the forum. I hadn't even heard of a compression tweeter in the dustcap till now. Open baffle speakers is another one. Live and learn. cheers john |
