I looked over the speakers at Parts Express just to see what they have. The
freq resp. of that $20 woofer is up to 2200 cycles. There was a 'Pro' speaker
that went to 6600 cycles. Can a 10" diameter speaker, achieve a wide response
when it has to move that large of a cone? The single 8 and 10 inch speakers
in the old cabinet TV's and radios, I wonder what they would have tested out to
freq. resp. wise. Always thought those old radios and TV's sounded good
because it was bassy due to the large speaker. When you cranked up the treble,
if it even had that option, it would get tinny sounding and lower audio out.
They never did any fancy encloser either, just a hole in the cabinet somewhere
and some wood screws. I still use an 8" speaker from a 1950's era Silvertone
B&W console TV, and still sounds great. Forget foam suspended speakers, the
air pollution always attacks the foam and they give up the ghost. But, that
seems to be all you can
find in the larger speakers now-a-days.
