btw u know where i can info on this tweeter?

Golf BHT:
sory didn't mean to hijack your thread

No, I'm not saying that the V50 is not great, it's got some good points like I mentioned before but personally I'd go for the SS Ring Radiator. As for websites, I don't think Venture has one though I may be wrong.

Because of its ceramic cone the V50 has some similar characteristics to that of metal dome tweeters. By itself it can be rather harsh sounding, slightly "edgy" and a bit dry. I guess it depends on the tuning and driver location, as they are the ones that heavily influence the final result. Magnesium cones on Seas midbass/midrange however, that's another story...

Golf_bht: Man, if I were you now's the time to go for something else, something different. How about a ribbon tweeter like Swans RT1L? Or maybe Hiquophon OW series? Or one of the Usher ones? God, there are tons of raw drivers out there, sometimes one does not know where to begin. But if you feel sticking to familiar brands, that's cool. I mentioned the Ring Radiator, why don't you get the one without the phase plug? I heard that it has better off axis performance than the normal Ring Radiator.

Something for you to think about.

Cheers,

Bon

venture does have a website i think.. www.ventureaudio.com if i'm not mistaken

[bodapa]

Ah, I stand corrected. And you're right, that's the website.

One thing that still confuses me though, is to what extent does Accuton have anything to do with Venture? Do they provide drivers according to Venture's requested spec, much like the relationship Alpine has with Scan Speak in the development of the F#1Status components?

Oh, for those not familiar with Accuton: [url="http://"http://www.accuton.com"]http://www.accuton.com[/url]

Always wanted to know peoples opinion on these tweeters.

I own supremo's and have been very happy with them but would love to hear Escotar and Scanspeak in a back to back.

If you decide to go supremo's Golf i may be interested in an escotar swap + cash....

If any body is interested in having a demo of the Danish Sound Technology Vehicle, it is Currently at AutoBarn Penrith Store. This car has a Scan-Speak front stage which includes the R2904/700000 1" ring radiator and Italian Made Celestra Amplifiers. You will be amazed by the quality of these drivers and combined amplifiers.

I had hiqs in my car and they sounded wonderful
Ow1 very smooth and ow2 a little more spice.
tried n nvr like morel supremo. they kind of clinical to me
next week i will get my hand on a SS 2904-710000
nvr heard of dyns .

[calvinhpk]

very keen to listen to your new scanspeak 710000

[dronell19]

I have Seas Millenium tweeters on my car. And I just had a listen to the Venture V50. Both are really good tweeters in my opinion. Another good tweeter I listen to very often is the Phass AT-28. Amazing detail.

i used R29 so called Ring Radiator... 9500/9700/9900 is amazing in vocal but the R29 is better for instrumental... R29 is harder to be tune in the car that's why scanspeak release D29 as it is more friendly with the car environment... you would need Jensen oil caps in your passive crossover to go with the R29...

try Fabulous Acoustic FA1 tweeter... it's using Ribbon instead... and it's by Skanning too...

[jas]

so henry are you going to try the d29 next???

looks like it has a lot better dispersion characteristics and off axis frequency response compared to the r29 with the same motor and phase plate.

friend uses the D2905/990000 in his home speakers with just amazing results. Its a little more dynamic than the super smooth dyn esotar.

i use the scanspeak D2904/600000 in the car and its just absolutely amazing and has a very similar sound to the D2905/990000 but without its power handling (btw it uses the exact same dome).

[yara]

installed the d2904-71000. damn they are nice to hear.. very good details thanks to the 94.5 db sensitivity. indeed they are of of the best conventional tweeter i hav heard so far. i didn't use any passive .. all from the hu Xover

[heimerich]

jas: nah... no more scanspeak... no offence tho... i love scanspeak... but i'm trying this new pair of split called Fabulous Acoustic... they are from skanning... the midbass is the mobile series of audio technology cquenze... it's the best midbass that i've ever heard... i've compared it with Scanspeak, Dynaudio, Focal, Vifa, Seas... they are like toys... LOL... (no offence)... it does play a really low note without coloration... however, you need to sound dead the whole doors with asphalt sound deadening and the liquid one...

the tweeter is made by ribbon... it produces a wider frequency than any other tweeters on the market (because it is ribbon)... you don't really need a 3 ways setup and i can guarantee that there almost no frequency gap in between tweeter and midbass...

the problem with this speakers, they need a good cable (not an avarage quality) and the price is USD1650 not including passive crossover...

BTW, i sold my TruTechnology T03 and change to TruTechnology C7.4... a much much much much better amplifier... worth every single cents that i spent...
