Having previously tried the Fane Sovereign 12-250TC 8 TRIPLE Cone, I thought I'd try a Visaton BG17 8ohm. OK, so this is only TWIN cone, and similar types have been around for years, but I have an old plastic enclosure from a stereo system, which is standard 6.5 inch speaker size, but with no tweeter. The idea of having such a wide frequency range without the requirement of crossovers. (No losses!) Everything depends on the actual performance. My hearing is good to 17.5kHz and the sound is the better than ever, nice smooth flat response, but with a rise to 5kHz (rather than the usual 3.5kHz) there's nothing seriously missing for low level monitoring, apart from bass response due to the small size. Thoroughly recommended !

A good quality speaker that is cheap as chips

Full - ish range speaker rated at 40W. I have had good results as the single driver in a folded horn box and used in multiples of four in a line array. Eight of these in a line array works way better than a Bose 802 for not a lot of cash. They are verrrry bright, so keep the treble turned down. Also, a couple of hours of low level 30Hz sinewave breaks them in nicely before serious use.

Big sound from these small speakers
Anonymous 13.04.2015
I have just purchased one of these speakers for my very old Akai Midi system. What a difference this has made, the sound is stronger than before, a crisp sound. I am about to purchase one more for the other speaker. I am looking forward to listening to my old records on this revived stereo system. Many thanks to Thomann for being able to supply these speakers. Also it was very easy to order and obtain parts from this company. Well done!!
