Post Subject: Useful Range of Small Yellow DriverPosted by Paul S on: 12/4/2014

Rowuk, drivers like this are typically overhung, with strong magnets. Some, like the Reps, have very narrow "focused" gaps. With a light cone of the smalli-ish diameter of the driver they show, this might be acceptable down to a 5-600 Hz X/O. The way the whizzer is configured, however, it almost guarantees the sort of wild dips and peaks that their own chart depicts, as the driver "interferes with itself". This driver cannot do quality-consistent lower mids without help, let alone LF. Pip-squeak drivers in backhorns... well, we've all heard them, and everyone makes up his own mind on the subject. As for OB, this might work over a limited range if the whizzer were removed. I think any X/O at 5-600 Hz would have to be 6 dB, between VERY similar drivers. The proof is in the results, of course, not in the theories , nor in the history, nor in the list of "features".

Are they asking 322k Euros for the amps? That's enough money to get out of town, if nothing else...
