You don't really have a Full Range Guy here but looking at your beautiful speakers while listening to this great music... I think i'm a step away of studying for Seas Cabinets and getting the necessary components for a DIY Tube Amp. Soooo nice!
God, i saw this first 10 years ago. Its SOOOOO nice seeing it still avalible on youtube. amazing music. Beautiful sounding speakers. aaaa
This is great. I just got into engineering and I really would love to do this. Im researching now.
Some years ago I had a pair Almarro full-range speakers, each with two identical full-range drivers. Lovely. Prior to that I had Cain&Cain Super Abbys ... loved them. Both were superb with the Almarro A205A, and equally nice with the A318B. Full-range single-driver speakers are special and uncanny.
Yup i'm now using Fostex 6.5inch ff165wk n i can listen to it all day long :)
It's amazing just how enjoyable that simple audio setup truly is. Eerily lifelike and easy to listen to ...
Robt Bomba What is the difference between full range and normal speakers>?:(
Landon Swift The "speaker" in the video (speaker = housing) has a single driver that covers lows/mids/highs w/o requiring a crossover; the sound can be unrestrained, detailed, refreshing, palpable and very, very life-like, with great presence; while bass will certainly be present and is often satisfying, most full-range drivers won't deliver the bass found in standard box designs; that said, housing design and room acoustics are factors. If you love thumping, this might not be for you. The best audio decisions I ever made were switching to tube amplification and speakers with full-range drivers, though my Cains had the F-R and a super tweeter, my Almarros had twin F-R drivers and my Tektons have the F-R and a separate extended tweeter. Probably going to try some open-baffle speakers next.
Thank you so much sir :)
It sounds so good that it can be used as listening music (like an album)! In this case, point-source makes it even better because it sounds like it's "plugged in" and not through speakers. Separate woofers and tweeters (on You Tube) sounds like speakers, especially when the camera moves. I like lounge music, see my lounge music I made with my Korg. And made a CD and made some point-source speaker demos of my lounge music on my ch, ch, cheers!
Use Transmission line to get that low bass extension
Lovley sound!
beautiful audio with song..I wish to have this amp for my mission M71..
Nice sound
i had the orignal ones for 3 decades until they got chewed up by amp they sound magical with the elobrate transmission-lines which i had
Very nice. Keep up the great work!!! ❤️🇵🇭😎
@TheAuditory Thanks for watching the video. The drivers are 10 inch Bolton(s) which are no more in production. I would like to recommend you a book before starting your diy project which i also purchased and it was really helpful "Build Your Own Valve Amplifier by Rainer Zur Linde". Please do post video of your amplifier project.
A full range speaker does not require any type of crossover but some people like to add BSC (Baffle Step Compensation) crossover design for a more linear response. But i like it simple without bsc :-)
@gnativerson The speaker cabinet is a simple sealed enclosure with some dampening material & 81 ltrs in volume. Thanks for your interest in the diy.
Bel progetto complimenti!
Thanks for the update - I remember hearing about these being linked to Philips ( Holland ) during the 60's/70's as they used their tooling to produce tubes at this time. Would you happen to know of any sourced where I'd purchase a quad or two?. Thanks again, I'll be sure to add them to my search. Cheers,Oscar
@truebassB I am glad you liked the videos. :-)
Hi Gurdeep, Nice setup there. I have the same set of drivers however I am not able to extract the best out of these. I sense some distortion as well. Could I get in touch with you to speak about certain implementation points?
I made a quite similar amp like this. One single 12AX7 in the preamp section. I have to say it sounds better than my other KT88 push pull amp. Do you have DC filaments or AC? What about hum?
Nice sound indeed
Great job.. post some pic of your speaker box..
Hi there, Beautiful sound by the way. Would you mind sharing which brand of EL-84's you're using?, as I have an amp that uses them on the way - but don't know much about them other then the ones made by Amperex/Philips/Mullard along with Telefunken/Valvo or Siemens, but seriously like the sound of yours. Do share if you would. Regards,Oscar
El equipo de sonido de mi abuelito!!!
Sounds great!!!, Make another tube amp and get another speaker the same, please.
very nice
Please do post some pictures of your tube amp project. :-) Thanks for watching the video and your interest in diy audio. :-)
way cool! - beautiful drivers, nice way to do the amp - what's happening in that cabinet's innards?
What song is this? Great tube amp and full range speakers.
does a full range speaker require any type of crossover
Nice Sound, nice setup!! What music - song is that, please?
Yes Coral Flat 10" Driver or 10" Zachry Driver same stuff.
Hi 350650, nice work, congratulations ! I have many branded amplifiers, but I like to listen to a little EL84 SE triode straped that I built. You can see it at my chanel kerkalianer.
@olanzip i bought them from a bolton dealer in delhi unfortunately the bolton company stopped their production line a long time back [5-6 years]. I was really lucky coz it was the last set of speakers that shopkeeper had with him. they are high senstivity 93-96db i guess. Bolton was a chennai based speaker manufacturer.
Not chennai it's was delhi company
too cool! is It possible to share the schematic ? (via pm)?
How cool is that?? I would love to be able to do something like that, but i wouldnt know where to start. Really good job although dubious taste in music ;0)
@350650 Hello. No,thank YOU for this awesome video. :D If i proceed with anything DIY related i'll upload videos like always,so there's 100% chance that you'll see anything i'll make on my channel :D
@truebassB Truly said its not a full range driver technically cause it does not produce higher freq upto 20k. I was experimenting n that's my first diy speaker amp project and that is why i tried this speaker couse it was in my budget n cheap. Being an amateur i didnt wanted to ruin a fostex driver and i am 21yrs old so i think there is a lot to learn ahead. Seas also manufacture exotic full range drivers , you are studying their designs on fr drivers?
Bhai ye speakers milta he k nahi
@jrocciolo Artist - Nu sound Song name - Breathe With Me
You are better-off without BSC on full ranges (unless you know what you are doing). It's really tricky stuff designing your own crossovers and BSC (and mine are a combination of both).Very time consuming, a good ear and determination. The ultimate challenge, a real nightmare! But I enjoy the challenge and after a while you learn, and it takes less time. One key thing is to have a bypass resistor in parallel with BSC chokes and capacitors. This preserves the "straight-through" sound! Big improve!
CongratZ for your setup man! Nice sounding 1 way speakers, also well made EL84SE amp! Good thing that you use valve rectifier, it make the sound smooth, also looks like decent size output transformers: nice basses. Any schematic of your build? Go to my chan if you want to see my amps too, Cheers

@B04RWN Sorry for replying late.It is triode mode and i think its better if you want every detail in music. Thanks for watching the video hope you like it.
What song is this?
im in to DIY too
I am also DIY - destroy it yourself. Thanks for being a sport.
Por favor, alguém sabe o nome dessa música?😆
no on/off switch n a volume pot thats not fixed. a lot of work still is remaining.
These nos EL84 {BEL India}
Coral Flat 10 driver???
Yes
It took me 10 years to make the dream into a reality, about a speaker in the massive stone. Many thousands of hours of work. Nobody thought I was going to make it. I say, have faith! Read about it on basundaudio.no Regard Johnny Børge Båsund
Johnny Båsund saw that. Very cool
Name of this song is?
Nusound - Breathe with me
if you want to feel the bass, use the song "2 phones" by Kevin Gates.
xd
And further more, if Trubass is over 17 years of age, he can no longer hear anything over 17k. So that makes 20 to 16.5k his full range. Stop trying to build speakers that reproduce sounds that only your dog can hear. Focus on how linear and distortion free you can get one to behave from 40 Hz. to 8 thousand. That's where music, voices and most instruments are.
What song is this? Great tube amp and full range speakers.
