Design for Silver Flute W14

[coolkhoa]

Hi guys,

First of all, some info on this well-received driver. I have read over Zaph's Silver Flute design but wonder if there's a cheaper tweeter that mates well with it. As for the crossover, I want something simpler but adequate...how about a 1st order Butterworth?

Comments are appreciated.

I have built a MTM & Daline TL using Silver Flute W14RC25-08 and Seas H883 tweeter and I am very happy with them.
Crossover has been designed by Madisound (LEAP).
Let me know if you are interested...

Just a simple question:
What's the crossover topology and crossover frequency?

Attached the schema of the LEAP crossover.
BTW I've seen this morning on Madisound forum that Rick Graig has done measurments of the shielded W14RC25-08, he proposes to send results by mail.
This is what he wrote :
"I did a near-field test on the 5.5" shielded version in a sealed box. This woofer is perfect for this application if you need a compact speaker to go with your sub(s) in a HT/music system. F3=76hz, F10=47hz. I'm combining it with the JP3 ribbon. E-mail me for the response curve."

WKR,
Lionel

The speaker and the external crossover.
Daline TL gives good results in term of low frequencies response.

The 2 Silver Flute W14RC25-08 and the Seas H883...
Sanding and painting need to be finished but it's still too cold in my basement !

The event and the crossover.
Need finition too...

Thanks, Lionel! It was especially generous of you to provide the LEAP crossover schematic that was paid for.

You're welcome.
It's small contribution compared to the huge amount of precious information you can find here.

After listening to the W20s and assuming that the W14s have similar yet, more extended sound, I think that based on sound characterstics the Audax TW01E1 may sound sweet with that woofer...I'll haul up my old stuff to see...
