The SONY XDR-S3HD Digital Radio with the REL Q50 Subwoofer
Recently got really curious what else can a 15in FR driver improve on my current Betsy 8in and was ready to order a pair but the staff are having their Chinese New Year holidays so I have to wait...
Then the next morning being a weekend I usually listen to the Sony Radio with its pair of 2.6in (2.8W) drivers. Bass is supported by the REL subwoofer and this combo amazes me everytime. Not so much treble extension but the sound is very satisfying. (Then realized I can use the Japan tweeters on this).
Intrigued on going smaller than 8in, I then got a pair of old Coral 6inchers. I set them up on another room. Haven't really compared with the Betsy OB yet. They sounded nice in their stock cabinets. There's a bit of bass but still needs bass support to sound fuller. They were plugged on a solid-state amp. Still have to try with low wattage tube amp.
After having the 6in Coral, I get to learn about another vintage drivers that are smaller than 6in but they are hard to find (expensive on ebay already). I really want to try these drivers and will see if there will be a part 2 to this entry nyahahaha.
