Extrordinary tweeter?

mazeroth · 2nd October 2004, 08:06 PM

With the specs this thing has, it looks like a real performer. 140w RMS and 93.5db sensitivity, along with a low crossover and cheap. What do you guys think?

Extraordinary probably not.

Don´t let the 93.5dB let you think it´s a very efficient driver since it has a less than 3 ohm winding.

How much "power" it can take depends on configuration in system, crossover point, slope and also what program material is being used.

It may very well be a very good tweeter for the money though.

I did a bulk buy on some 20 of these units, i also got them for a great price, i have too say the treble is average, to fair, they dont shine or stand out really, on the whole the sound can be rather flat.
For ther money on PX there about as good as you can get without going second hand and there is nothing wrong with that
