Monacor compression-drivers

[daniel]

Anybody can give some feedback on less than 30eur 1" exit compression drivers available in EU, ie. Stage Line/Monacor MRD-44, MRD-34, MRD-80/90? Klang+Ton reviews? Eminence ASD-1001 was the first choice, but it went up in price recently.

Intended use with Selenium HM17-25 (thread) or 18s xt120 (bolt), or some other low-coloration horn (suggestion?). From below ~2000 to ~12000Hz, 60-100deg constant directivity.

Project is a very low cost, high directivity, low-fatigue, small 10" monitor from 150-15000Hz. Paired with Celestion TF10xx or BL10.

XD125 - HF Compression Driver

Perfectly smooth due to the smoothing they've applied Would like to see an unsmoothed graph. Don't like the early horizontal beaming around 10kHz.
