Scanspeak D2900 vs. Seas 27TDFC (H1189)?

ro9397 · 03:53 AM

Application: tweeters padded to 88 dB. 1st order high-pass Xo, pole to be determined (between 4 kHz and 8 kHz). Two line-level high-pass poles act on the main speakers: 1st order @ 400 Hz, 3rd order @ 80 Hz.

I previously owned and loved the old Scan Speak D2900, but never heard the highly regarded Seas. Am interested to read any objective differences and also your subjective opinions of these two fine tweeters.

Other suggested tweeter(s) for the application? All the 19-20mm domes I found have more ragged FR.

Also curious how my old D2900 compare to the latest current D29 model?

TIA!
