Hello,
when choosing a driver for one of my future projects I compared Accuton C168-9-470 driver measurements from this place:
Accuton AS168-9-470 | HiFiCompass - всё для акустических систем и не только
with the manufacturer data:
AS168-9-470 CELL
and found "some" of differences in the frequency responses.
The speaker driver price is not so small, about 900 EURO for a pair, to take a simple decision.
Did anyone work this driver with?
Thank you

Wanting to use it for a while. The only thing that bugs me about it is it looks to have a dip in the lower midrangeAny interest in C158-8 measurements? Curt and I used it in our Bordeaux design and we both think it's a killer driver.

Hi Bill,
Here are real measurements...
Curt crossed over to the AST2560 at 2.3K. If you have an interest in looking at the crossover, design etc. send me an email ( jim at jholtz dot us ) and I'll send you a pdf file with all of the information. We don't have it posted on Curt's website yet.

Thanks Jim, I will pick up a pair when I go back to UK in april. Not sure if I'm pushing it by crossing to the new viawave ribbon. Maybe a 3rd order wd work.

I'm not sure how low the new Viawave ribbon will cross but the C158 works best 2.5K or below. it isn't a driver you want to push too high due to the 4K breakup. If the crossover is right, it is simply a superb sounding driver in our opinion. Curt said the Bordeaux is the best sounding design he's done. It's certainly the best I've owned/heard.
Good luck!

You’ll probably be fine, Troels crossed it LR2 at 2,2-2,3kHz to an AT 6”.
Looks like Viawave GRT-145 has really low distortion and high efficiency, alone in it's own league!

C168 measurement as part of the Isiris project:

The project above is awesome. Just read through the build thread ..
An accuton I hadnt spotted - underhung motor but this one is priced between the ferrite and the super expensive versions. Anyone tried it?
Accuton C173-6-197 Ceramic Bass / Midrange

I hadn't worked with C173-6-197 but did with C220-6-227. These drivers share the same motor. C220-6-227 is very, very good driver, much better than other Accuton's ferrite motor drivers. This motor is the first of Accuton motors which has conducting ring in the motor, so low distortion. I think, C173-6-197 has the same properties.
A question, anyone think the C168 can cross ok to the new viawave ribbon ok? Maybe steeper than normal. The accuton THD and off axis response suggests a crossover point no higher than around 2250hz imo - Troels has crossed the viawave at 2200hz (2nd?)
Doable?

seems to suggest that anything below about 3500 may be an issue
