This is an especially wibbly wobbly way of making a top suspension, in waves that form a bigger single roll. As well as this special material, the top roll surround is called HAMR or High Amplitude Multi Roll. Smaller than cellulose in diameter and yet improbably rigid when used in composite, these tiny reinforcement fibres also help damp any resonance within the cone. What this set of loudspeakers has its main bass cone made from is described as being loaded with nano-fibres. This is not possible, so materials scientists, especially in loudspeaker technology, have been seeking and experimenting with different materials since the dawn of audio. This is because it needs to be both of limitless rigidity and nil mass. Here’s salient detailĬONES: For a loudspeaker cone to work perfectly, it must contravene the rules of physics. Nor are they terribly massive in weight, due to the use of posh rare earth magnet technology. The Alpine X-S65 speakers do not look what you might call ‘˜flashy’, although I like their purposeful appearance. Along with Dual gap Direct Drive, or DDDrive some time ago, this shows flexibility in engineering thought and innovation for speaker motors.
The magnet to drive the voice coil is actually inside the diameter of that coil, rather than outside as every other speaker ever made. The 35mm voice coil on this mid band driver is bloody huge for the size of loudspeaker, although not as bonkers as say, Morel.
In the case of this X-Series front loudspeaker offering in six and a half inch, the X-S65 coax, Alpine have used tremendously high cost, high-grade neodymium magnet technology. Rather than massive constructional stuff, they prefer cunning use of materials with a particular emphasis upon making new technology that offers both advances in sound quality as well as cost effectiveness. The style of Japanese high-technology is about detail and delicacy. So when a serious new tranche of technology is announced by Alpine, complete with details and the history of their A-team of technologists responsible for the new developments, the knowledgeable take heed. To this day there is a cult following for Alpine subwoofers. Loudspeakers in particular have always been a strength. With all the technology and effort put into these, these are right up there with the very best coaxes made by anybody and are also State of the Art within Talk Stuff’s audio genre.Įditor Review : Alpine X-S65 6.5in Coaxial SpeakersĪlpine Electronics are up there with the finest when it comes to sound quality. Designed by the team that made the legendary Alpine F#1 STATUS equipment some years back, reassembled, they have made a career defining product.
An absolute tour de force that blows most speakers clean out of the water for sheer quality of detail, with prodigious bass power, midband clarity, staging and imagery, yet with light weight construction.
