    Interesting set of Bertagni speakers. 3 hundie! :)

    They are interesting but they don't sound great IME/IMO (and FWIW, whilst I am slinging hip, happenin' web abbreviations...).

    YMMV, of course.

    B)

    I read that they had some sort of foam material for the drivers?
    Not to go all Cliff Clavin on you :p ...

    but...

    I believe that the drivers are foam -- unless I am confused (which is always possible) they're essentially an early implementation of the 'tactile transducers' or 'exicters'*; in this case, exciting a foam board.

    I believe (!?!) the Bertagni transducers are a lot like the "polyplanar" drivers sold by LRE (e.g.,) in the early 1970s.

    It was a thing in the early 1970s. It didn't quite catch on -- well, except that in recent years, it has sort of come back (with those aforementioned 'exciters'). :p
    There is nothing new under the sun.
    B)

    There were also, in the mid/late 1960s, a flurry :p of normal cone-type speaker drivers manufactured with styrofoam cones. EV was, fairly briefly, infatuated with foam cones. :) I haven't had enough ears-on experience with them to have a strong opinion, but it's safe to say that these didn't catch on either :|

    This was one approach to strong, stiff, light materials to make 'truly' pistonic driver (mostly woofer) cones -- in the days before easy availability of today's fashionable paper alternatives for speaker cones (Kevlar, carbon fiber, various flavors of plastics, etc.).

    I don't know if the foam cones have as horrific out-of-band frequency response anomalies (breakup modes) as today's wonder materials ;)

    ... and here's a 12" coax, made by EV for Allied Radio Corp in the early 1960s, featuring a foam bass driver cone :)

    Interesting history on foam Doc! Is there anything you don't know about speakers? :)

    Hmmm, IMO foam seems to be, at least in my biz, not the right material if you're trying to control bending stiffness. Yeah you can re-formulate it, add fibers, etc, to stiffen it up, but seems to me there were better materials to start with.

    I reckon that's true, and I further reckon why we don't see many foam coned drivers any more... and I even still further reckon why the Bertagni/Fisher speakers I've heard were... well... not so great.

    :|

    EDIT: Oh, did anyone mention that Fisher sold some speakers using the Bertagni panels for a while? :P

    hey -- someone else used PRs kinda sorta like that for a while in the late '70s/early 80s. :#

    I think that's more like foamed polyurethane than Styrofoam (foamed polystyrene) though. :)

    Is that active or passive? My friend had an active woofer pull the voice coil leads through the foam...

    Active.

    IIRC, these only accept NON-polar two-prong plugs :s

    Back-in-the-day, I suppose these were helpful when audiophiles passed-out fell asleep on the couch during critical listening sessions. :D

    Btw: I am accepting offers on these beauties :) Karma, anyone???

    New Definitive Technology BP9080 - $300 single speaker ($1749 retail)
    https://toledo.craigslist.org/ele/d/toledo-definitive-technology-bp9080/6983709152.html

    No affiliation but the guy said that he purchased a set from Best Buy and had a problem with one of them and though it was DOA. He complained to Definitive and a new one was sent...now he has three of them. As it turns out, he had something connected wrong and the speaker is fine. So he is selling the new in-box one for $300!

    I guess he did call Def Tech and they told him to just keep it.

    I’ve had similar happen. Received the wrong item, seller just told me to keep it!

    Our faith in mankind has been restored! :smile:

    That VPI is a NICE table. I had a MKIV.......if you are into tweaking, the sky is the limit with those. They tend to have a warmer, more rounded sound than the Scouts but, that's a nice piece of kit......

    500 bucks ain't cheap but for that level of table....while I don't know what the market is on them....you get a lot of great sound.
