This is probably the reason I can listen to EV Patrician IV in relatively small space and close to the speaker without much of fatigue. The other factor must be that it's 4- way design with narrow band-pass for each horn. EV T25 2" phenolic compression driver (alnico) is still cheap on Ebay although JamminJersey list it for $400 a pair, seems like it's gaining popularity. I have infamous JBL2470 1" big magnet alnico with phenolic diaphragm and was thinking about fundamental channel design around phenolic driver >500Hz -1000Hz counting on dia ability to play lower into LF without breakdown. The thing is I don't know if there would be any advantage over cone midbass streching up to 1000Hz without buying big expensive 250-300Hz horn .
