good midrange

[ScottG]

The best suggestion I can make for a driver *near* that small is this driver:

Most of that driver's mms is literally wound-up in the VC (which is a 16 ohm driver).

This means that the diaphragm itself is likely very low for its sd, and as a result is probably more subjectively detailed than other drivers that could only handle half as much power for a similar sd. The price to be paid is slightly less internal damping and as a result a marginally less clean decay signature.

Provided it is used properly, it should be *almost* exactly what you are looking for.

PHL is so popular I dare suggest looking at this new model with phase plug and medium sensitivity, in line with above BMS

I don't see why PHL refuses to provide any frequency response data of any kind, or any graphs whatsoever. It's verry annoying. Other companies do, when their stuff looks like sh*t on a graph too.

I will recalculate my filter and shift from 350 to 400 and see if it will help

Hallo,

if the question here still is what midrange could replace the SS12M, there only is one perfect driver to fit the requirement in my eyes:

ATC SM75-150 (S)

Excellent sound at all volumes (even extremely loud).

XO at 350 / 3500 with 24 dB / oct will be just fine to handle 110 dB +

the visaton al130 is a great mid driver,very neutrtal with great dynamics.
