Alnico Fullrange For Adults Only<<<<
« on: Nov 14, 2011 at 06:40 AM »
The most natural sounding fullrange I've ever heard is the Alnico fullrange speakers.  Most people think that fullrange is only for Jazz, Blues and can never go rock and roll or Metal.  It depends on the brand of fullrange speaker and its specs.  Also, it depends on your cabinet design.  Your speaker cabinet builder must also have lots of experience in speaker cabinet tuning.

So I am sharing this video of my Alnico 8" fullrange on Aperiodic Design Cabinet (Omega Alnico 8 XRS inspired with down firing flared port) modified by A Audio - Anthony. I trusted to use Muse DT50A tripath amp, for I find the TK2050 chip very good and compatible with my speaker set up.  

Here are the following videos.  Let's Rock n Roll with LED ZEP BBC Live Session! ::)

Video 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_PubL37SSo

Video 2: http://youtu.be/rVY2MUGAwQs

The HI and MID were very warm and natural.  The BASS REGION was full, detailed natural.  It has no bass extension that a ferrite magnet has.  In reality, bass drum doesn't have too much bass extension.  Everything was manipulated in the recording to add some life in the music by using reverberation and others.

I said, Alnico Fullrange for Adults only.  Because, when I was younger, I love speakers that rattles our windows, shakes the wall and roof.  I realized that when you are getting mature, you want to hear your music deeply.  You are going to love music not for how loud your system can play it but rather, on how the artists play their music well. You will love music for understanding the details, lyrics and its meaning.  :)

Note:  Pls use quality headphone or computer speakers.

Thanks Pinoy DVD for the opportunity.  More so, thanks for watching. :)

i am one among the appreciators of FR.  my staple being the Fostex FE207E in double-horns, the johnblue JB3 and Aaudio FR (mine is called "Lunchbox").

i recently had a working gig as TechD for a series of concerts over the span of a week and a half. being at the venues for about 8hours a day hearing the i-dunno-how-many-thousands-of-watts array speakers and thundering bass enclosures, i was curious how i would react to listening to FRs again.

when i fired up my system back home i was relieved.  it is true that bass extensions with FRs do not shake up the room, but true musical bass and realistic bass extensions, along with clear mids and highs are the essential elements in a truthful appreciation of any type of music.

hehehehehee!!!!!! ayan ka na naman brader!!!!! mangkukulam ka na naman!!!! hehehe!
I totally agree to what you've said! ive been to car audio, and spl matters a lot, but since im getting old, my music preference also matures same with the choices for audio gears. Alnico FR kicks a$$ !!! the presentation of music is more natural compared to speakers with crossovers. well, maybe its about preference, but Damn!!!! alnico FR rocks!!!! ::) ::) ::) ::)

ALNICO FR is for Adults only and it really ROCKS...I grew up in Olongapo kung saan nakilala ng husto ang galing ng Pinoy Band pagdating sa Rock Music. Palakasan ng sound set-up sa mga bawat bahay na mapuntahan mo before. I remember a Rock n Roll Hall that plays music till morning with big, loud speaker on top of the building. Ang sarap ng Buhay gapo nong araw. I remember music jamming with the Friction Band, Brown Sugar, Sampaguita, Mike Hanapol, Gary Perez, The Jerk, Split Endz, Boy Adan, Arnel Pineda, Freddie Aguilar, Maria Capra, Joey Pepe Smith and a lot more. I become tired of listening to loud music with loud Bass and Highs and found peace with my FR Alnico. I was really skeptical before about the FR Alnico. But I have to admit the FR alnico is for adults only. I found the true meaning and proper way of listening to music sa FR alnico. It will truly envelopes you inside the music. I remember a friend who become DEAF at the age of 18 for listening too much music with too much BASS and Treble. Na damage yong Eardrum nya. So, If you love music and your eardrum go for FR Alnico.

Wow!  You really are an experienced man when it comes to audio.  Glad to hear from you again bro. :)

Hay naku brother.  Tama ka diyan.  Maturity can also be seen on how we listen to music.  I can live and die with my Alnico Fullrange, if I can't anymore buy Feastrex ;D.  Collect na lang ako ng software...more musical recordings. :)

Yan na! Lumabas na ang sentimiyento ni Jorge.  Yes, Olongapo was the place of all the nice sound audio gears during those times 70's -80's, i think.  Sabi nga nila, yung Bose na pang disco na ang lupit ng gapang sa Olongapo lang meron nun.  Malulupit ang audio gears ng mga Bars doon.  Puro High End na pang out door talaga.

Thanks Jorge for the effort of getting me a cheap alnico FR. Sulit talaga esp. ngayon na na enjoy natin at na experience ang experience ni Sidny with his quite expensive Audio Nirvana Alnico 8.  Buti nabigyan tayo ng pagkakataon magkaroon ng parang Alnico 8 ni Sidny. :D

The right amp for your Merrils.  Mang hiram ka ng Muse DT50a...Merrils have low sensitivity though they have low wattage.  You must use a good amp that will give 50watts 8ohms power, at least.  Then you decide after hearing those.  You can visit me anytime bro with your Zigma Merills.   :)

You can only get some alnico FR sa may DAU pampanga. But you have to test the speaker first. They are all 2nd hand but some are in good shape.

Sound Tripping and remembering the Folk era with my FR alnico. Sweet sound of the guitar from Cat stevens, Simon and Art Garfunkel, James Taylor, Bread, Peter Paul and Mary, Don Mclean, Jim Croce, America, Seals & Crofts, Neil Young, Dan Fogelberg and some pinoy folk band. ;D
