The Eminent Technology LFT-8b uses a pair of magnetic-planar drivers to cover 180Hz to 10kHz, crossover free within that frequency range. I ribbon tweeter takes over at 10k, and an 8" dynamic woofer at 180Hz. The 2014 Robert Greene review of the speaker in TAS is worth a read.
Coaxial Ribbon Midrange/tweeter - Can a small midrange ribbon actually do midrange well?
Fellow Members: my apologies if you may have caught a similar discussion under Piega 511 Coax Loudspeakers. That title may not reflect the general interest I am hoping for.
I am wondering, from a technical standpoint, how the Piega 511/711 Coax loudspeakers use a relatively small coaxial ribbon mid/ tweeter array driver to cover the entire midrange. I always thought of smaller ribbons as excellent tweeters only. If it does cover the entire midrange, can it move enough air to make
an impactful presentation for large orchestra or rock music, for example. Reviews praise the speaker’s agility, resolution and accuracy. It sounds like a most worthy competitor in its price range but I want a loudspeaker that can do most genres well.....not just vocals, chamber music and jazz. Thank you in advance for your input.
