My experince with P-Audio is that their data sheets are pure fiction. Real measurements show a completely different product. Usable if you measure the ones that you have, and that works for you, but not usable if you are relying on the spec sheets.

P.Audio System Co., LTD
P.Audio BMD26S - P.Audio BMD26S 1" high frequency driver. P.Audio BMD26S speaker components available at US Speaker.

Haven't heard too many compression drivers for under $100 that I could live with. I recently bought one of the $50 Celestions CDX1-1445s, based on prior experiences with the CDX1-1425, which was a steal at $35. (it's $100 these days, due to the cost of neodymium)

Bill Waslo has posted some measurements of the 1445 here (http://www.diysoundgroup.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=3e7f1c325dae97f639a00cf2d1fd9e8e&topic=19.15). Augerpro has posted measurements of the CDX1-1425, and I have too.

Huge value for the price.
Also phenolic.....not titanium

Celestion 1445 (~2khz+)
Radian 475PB (~1.6khz+)
BMS 4550 (~1.2khz+)
Denovo DNA-350(~1khz+)
Denovo DNA-360 (~1khz+
Denovo BA-750 (~700hz+)

Has anybody tried the new cd from Faital Pro? HF-107.

I looks good on paper with its 1000hz-20 000hz xo.

well since good horn systems cost around $70-150K in ready to go state , budget in $7-$15k for Diy or don't bother .This is my current take on the subject. Rgrds, L

I suggest FaitalPro HF100, and build your own waveguide
done right it could beat even the top budgets

diy budget for two, 150USD

 

[Pano]

Agree. (I've been coveting those HF100 as tweeters). I put together my Altec VOTT system for much less than $7K. I don't think you'd have to spend that much retail for new parts on a good horn system

If you DIY and choose carefully, it does not have to cost a fortune.

 

[buzzforb]

They are $100/pair atMCM elevctronics

 

[Pano]

And oddly, the matching horns cost just as much! I think I'll make a pair of small diy multi-cell horns for them.

 

[buzzforb]

Ooo! Got plans?

 

[multi]

Trying the JBL 2452 on 2380 with 1.5 inch throat entry, sounds great to me.
The horns cost $15.00 plus freight had to buy 10 to get this price. also trying the the 2380 2 inch throat with the JBL 2446.

Hi All:

I like try a 3 way system with 2 eminence 15A in OB + selenium d250X in mid range.
What would be best (cheap) driver in the 5-20kHz range in this configuration?

Thanks in advance

Alberto.
