Ein schönes Bekenntnis zu stabilen Lautsprechermembranen findet man bei Harbeth - die schließlich eine große Tradition mit Polypropylen und Bextrene - Membranen haben. Finde ich sehr ehrlich von denen!

Inadequacies of 'industry standard' speaker cones
03.11.2014
It is little wonder that loudspeakers with mere polypropylene cones can’t match the open and dynamic sound of a Harbeth RADIAL drive unit. As a new video on the Harbeth User Group clearly shows, shampoo-bottle plastics just don’t have enough rigidity. Cone video
Stiffness is a key attribute for a loudspeaker cone if it is to produce a good sound, yet as the new video demonstrates, most cones are pretty feeble.
While even the smallest (110mm) RADIAL cone will easily withstand the weight of a house brick (see above), a similar size polypropylene cone simply buckles and is squashed to destruction.
“The Harbeth cone even withstood the weight of a hefty 4.9kg steel billet”, explains Harbeth’s MD and designer Alan Shaw.
“It’s no accident that the super-clear Harbeth sound is the product of our wonderfully rigid cones. You can think of Harbeth RADIAL technology as a reinforced plastic which solves numerous engineering challenges. Unless cones behave in a pistonic way across the entire audio range, as RADIAL ones do , it’s impossible to achieve a really natural sound. “
A ten minute audition at your local dealer will reveal all the strengths of the Harbeth drive-unit technology!
- ein wenig unverfroren finde ich dann schon die Aufforderung gehörmässig die neue Membrantechnologie überprüfen zu wollen.
- schmunzeln lässt mich der Test mit den Gewichten auf den Membranen, denn dass erinnert an Leak Sandwich Lautsprecher aus den 60er Jahren.....
