I will quote joker and which I also found while designing my hybrid iem and exactly one of the things which solved it.

As expected, there is a slight coherence issue with the hybrid BA-dynamic system, stemming largely from the difference in note presentation between the drivers. The dynamic driver has greater note thickness and generally sounds softer and less crisp. It is helped greatly by the excellent dynamics but the armatures handling the midrange and treble are still more detailed and resolving – an audible disconnect with some tracks. The Bass Boost filters, which tone down the upper midrange and lower treble, make this less obvious to my ears but the coherence isn’t problematic enough to justify using them.

Do you think the coherence issue is minimized by using a full range dynamic driver with BA's as tweeters as in the upcoming ASG-2? Also, has anyone recognized any coherence issues in the UM Merlin?

I think the ASG-2 will work fine because of that as it will likely just add some presence and extension to them. Thats what i think anyway.

I think the new generation armature drivers help here. Might be a real good question to Dale. If one of the things these new drivers do that pleased him over the older one relates to note thickness better matching or what exact specific traits that make them match better with the dynamic driver. Dale did say he didn't like the old ones but he dropped the 10mm second dynamic in favor of the new ones they showed him. I would like to hear more in depth what he thinks makes these new BA's better!

Not an expert but just my opinion from experience.
Dynamic drivers are full range and can be tweaked by amount of air they can displace by changing the housing in which they reside,so that the note thickness and decay can match BA.This it self gives design and manufacturing complexities. Also it needs a good low pass filter so they donot interfere with BA.
I have just read on ASG and if I am not mistaken the original was bit harsh and people tried several filter mods, so I guess they will have to tweak the driver and iem design to work with BA.

Tomorrow! I'm guessing then we'll finally know the price.

Add a AS-2 picture to the second post?

 

[kenman345]

Yes, you will. And then also in a few days I should have my review of the AS-2's up. I'll post a link here when I do. Just found this thread, good work man.

Careful, gotta contact Aurisonics if you're using a picture from their website. It's all copyrighted and stuff so you need permission. Unfortuantely this is something Dale has been quite adement about doing, so be careful.

Just looked and I do not have the originals of the ones i posted so far. Tomorrow I will have some though, but I'd much rather they remain with me till I post my review. I haven't taken them yet and I usually take tons and go through for the best ones.
