Driver for vocal

[wesayso]

How loud do you want at 3.5 meter distance. It takes a brave soul to listen to 110 dB (average) level at 1 to 6 KHz in a living room.

Yes I've heard how that sounds with a sweep

Just noticed that the originally proposed Tang Bands have an Xmax of only 0.5mm!
Why would anybody even build (or buy) such a driver???

I was thinking along the lines of the SS 10F or the Vifa (both 2.6mm) also mentioned elsewhere.

It all depends how loud you need to go. >100dB (as mentioned) for lengthy periods will endanger your hearing. For sensible levels, look at the Monacor msh 115.

Thanks for the advice. Seems like a interresting alternative to the scanspeak

You'd have to live with the small sweet spot though:

The sweet spot is not large. Since directivity gets much wider under about 800 Hz the sound changes under angles. The lower frequencies stay nearly constant in the whole room (because of reflections), but the higher doesn't. So this speakers must point directly to the listener. And it is clearly a one-man-speaker.

sorry, I was not specific, I meant his HT project, not the pseudocoax project...
I do not have link to his projects, those under the line in his posts
