Thinking about finally diving into a 3-way with a 4" midrange, probably an MTW design, with the midrange at ear level.
I love my Scanspeak 6.5" but would rather spend Discovery prices.
I'm wondering if you kind folks have any experience in cost saving and performance of the current crop from SB, SS, etc?
I'm not worried about application just yet. But for instance, the SS Discovery midrange has a very nice response, making it very adaptable.
This would be for a traditional, not high efficiency tower.
Best,

Sorry Pano, I'm half asleep and that sounded rude. I meant to say, I am not too interested in deep bass from this, so it is OK with me if it cuts off early.
I'm thinking of using a two-channel IcePower plate amp with built in DSP right now, one for bass, one for mid/tweet. Passive crossover between mid and tweet. Solves a lot of issues.

I like that 5FE120.
Used it in some little speakers for my daughter to take to uni and I prefer it to the 5" Audax aerogel based speakers made by Rogers I gave my other daughter for the same purpose.
Also I'd happily pay an extra £10 for them if they'd give them a cast frame!

One other possibility to consider the Tangband W4-1337SDF
Tang Band W4-1337SDF 4" Titanium Full Range Speaker | eBay
Lots of discussion available about this driver in the forums and it's a component in several reference/high end hifi designs.

2 versions I believeLooks like Salk has upgraded their midrange on that model.

Probably hard for any 4" to beat it price/performance wise.
