@trw108921 күн бұрын
Great video Richard. My favourites are the ESU passive radiator for overall sound, but space rules them out often. The tablet one that you rated no.1 is definitely a great speaker, I’ve been really impressed with the clarity of sound and bass response is pretty reasonable. I’ve installed half a dozen or so of them now and will continue use them for a lot for customer installs. For steam, I’ll use the bigger ESU ones where I can, but will have to try out the 20x20 as I bought a few from you recently but have installed any yet.

I might be wrong but i thought you had to wire another speaker with an em1 because it doesnt draw enough power or something along them lines
@roadsandrails20 күн бұрын

I bought your number 1 speaker Richard, put it in a Bachmann Class 40 with your provided sound and the speaker is fantastic, thoroughly recommend it. Just fitted one to a Bachmann 45, had to remove the fan on this and cut down the screw lugs, but again, brilliant sound...

I tried to keep it to 10 so I missed a lot of similar stuff out, EM1 probably should have been mentioned along with the EM2, brilliant sound but a bit on the big side so it can be hard to place

Please can you do a soundcheck comparison again, like you did a while back? In my humble opinion, I don't like the 20x20 - it's too distorty for me. I do prefer the double iphone, as you said, much better since the firmware upgrade where you can adjust treble and bass. I'll have to order some of the others to try them out :)

Great video. I have been struggling to work out which is the best option to upgrade a Bachmann Class 37/0 with integrated sound. Your website suggests a pair of 20x20 megabass speakers wired in parallel, but I did see one of your other videos where you used an EM1 in the fuel tanks paired with a second speaker on top of the chassis underneath the fan. And with some of the other options shown in this video, i'm even more confused.
@roadsandrails22 күн бұрын
The difficulty with this is that as new speakers come out there is sometimes a better new option, but it seems silly to take the old video down if it still sounds good, the EM1 will sound better than two 20x20 but its a much harder install, that not everyone can do. The smallest ESU passive radiator fits and is probably the best drop in speaker in terms of sound, at a slightly higher cost than 2 of the 20x20
@devilo121022 күн бұрын
@@roadsandrails That's good to know. I'm not one of those people that likes hacking into expensive models, so having a drop in option is more appealing to me even if it's at the expense of some volume and/or clarity. I've just ordered 6 of the 20x20 megabass speakers from your ebay store, as i'm sure i'll use them one way or another over time. I may take a punt on the ESU passive radiator too if that's a drop in option and likely to be better than two 20x20s in parallel.

Great video Richard, I see you removed it after my dig at a retailer ( Not you) selling the EM3. Your prices are extremely good I just wish Tang Bang would have an official UK seller for their full range of speakers instead of retailers being forced to import from the USA and paying the duty. Oh well.
@roadsandrails22 күн бұрын
Hi, I re uploaded the video so it lost the comments, wasn't intentional. The EM3 is an awkward one, I used to order a few but the place I used is now over $100 for postage, and they sell the speakers for close to my retail price once the VAT is added, you are right, there needs to be a UK distributor

Hi. I've been watching your videos comparing speakers for years, and I agree with you on that I dislike "sugar cube" speakers too. Luckily it seems there are better options now. I really like #7, the Megabass speaker. I usually get them in pairs (yes, a bit of sanding on speakers' carcasses is needed) and get them into the tenders of the Alleghenys and other similar locomotives. I guess I'll need to give a try on the rest of the speakers you mentioned in this video. Never heard one of those "passive radiator" speakers. I'll need to build one speaker tester like yours as soon as I get information on how to redirect the output of the signal in ESU's decoder tester from the in-built speaker to the external speakers. Thanks for sharing this video.

Hi these speaker comparison videos are invaluable for choosing a speaker. There are some amazing differences. I have used two square megabass speakers in my 0 gauge Western, and it sounds amazing. Going to do similar with my 0 gauge Warship in the next couple of days. It's worthwhile painting black the chrome speaker diaphragm, which otherwise can be seen inside the models from the engine room windows..........I always use Zimo decoders in preference to ESU. Cheers, Eve
