The TG9 8ohms is actually very good. I like the sound a lot - almost as good as a $100 ScanSpeak 10F (also fiberglass).

I am not sure what they did with the 4ohms version but it seems to have very different measurements.

I tested it here and people also listened to it (it is Driver "D"):

It measured quite well (in FR it measured almost identically to the 10F):

Do you think these would be suitable in a karlsonator or foamboard cornu-copy?

If so I may grab a pair.
 
Why is the 4ohm tg9 listed by peerless has 5 watts rated noise power while the 8ohm is listed at 10 watts ?


Vifa TG9FD10-04 3.5" Full Range

Peerless TG9FD10-08 3.5" Fiberglass Full Range 8 ohm

I'm seriously thinking mini array of 4, sitting 7' away, like the clairaudient lsa4.
Yes i know the ears will need to be within the 1' vertical sweet spot.
I've made 4 and 9 driver focused arrays.
Just itching to try something simple.
Seems a few here like the driver.

Member "5th element" generously shared his impressions, tweaks and measurements with me regarding TG9. Hence, I bought 50 from Madisound for my next line arrays.
3d. and 5th harmonic distortion raise quite a lot from 500 hz and down. The void under the cap is a relative big chamber in front of the 6mm "pipe". The cure was to add phase plugs. How could I ever collecting bags of patience cutting 50 wooden plugs by knife, hours and beer? Nope.
The solution was some guitar volum knobs spray painted by Plasti-Skin (same as PlastiDip) and 30x 6mm wooden spline dowels and a drop of glue, just to secure. Luckily, both the knobs and dowels dias are 6mm, fitting the hole in pole piece precisely. In other words: Mostly Lego. Knobs are plastic, not disturbing any field. Warning: Scary pictures !

I got a couple sent to the UK. Just under £30 delivered, in about a week. You don't choose a postal option as they all cost too much. You have to write, and sort something out.



I like them a lot. I have heard things my Morel mdt30s and mw144 combination miss. They do benefit from a tweeter though. Least with my slightly soft arcam kit, and 46yo ears they do anyway.
