Looking for a cheap compression driver (for example mrd-80)

[andrew_87]

Hi to everybody.
I'm writing there because i want to know if you have tried a very cheap compression driver. I'm looking for something that could reproduce the frequencies between 3000-4000hz to 20000hz, with a good sensibility (about 105dB) and with a termal power of at least 40-50watt.
I would prefer driver with a sweet sound.

I have found these items:
monacor (img stage line) mrd-80 (17.90€)
monacor (img stage line) mrd-90n (29.90€)

Does someone has tried these drivers?

thank you!

it looks very good for the price, but in italy it costs about 45€...



I need something very cheap, like the monacor mrd-80. If it sound quite well it is wonderful...

Remember that even if you find a good cheap driver, you still need the horn, which cost money too

New Beyma http://www.beyma.de/fileadmin/seiten...MC2012N_1_.pdf
Aschenbach sells it at 48EUR
May easily be improved by adding round edges at mouth

Frustration
Just a few days ago I found a big waveguide/horn, but cant find it again
It was the kind with rounded bottom/top and plane sides, made of plastic
Maybe not the best, but I was impressed by the size and it looked real good, and cheap
If someone know about it, please tell
I remember I saw it together with very cheap screw mount compression drivers

Looks like it could be a Zomax H-1575
But the supplier?

the horn is not a problem, because i will create it in wood...

the beyma looks great...

for the big horn i never saw something similarar... i'm sorry...

Selenium offers a good "bang for the buck." Selenium D220ti is about 30 euros right? But if you're going to go to the trouble of building a horn, and you don't need output below 2khz, get the best compression driver for that range:

The BMS 4540ND. Shouldn't be more than 60 euros or so.
