looking for good mid woofer to use with Ribbon Tweeter. - Page 2

I don't think you'll get mid's with 96 dB together (it more like 94 dB, but still), specially not if you want a little bass!

Or the SPH-165KEP.

Yes you will loose 3dB sensativity. Not exactly loose but when I measure a SSD2905 6ohm tweet and a peerless 8ohm midbass together I need to boost the tweeter by three decibels in the simulation program to match the measure combined response.

You also want a mtm you said so you don't have to have a woofer with a 93+ sensitivity since you will be using 2 mids for the 1 tweeter.

ok, but, how many dB i gain using 2 Mid wooferS?

3dB?

Doubling the cone area will gain approximately 3 dB. However, they will also have a lower impedence in parallel, so it will be even higher. I have not heard the GR Diluceo, but I doubt it would disappoint from what I have heard of it.

If you want high efficiency drivers look at PHL. I'm not sure all the places that sell them but you can try here:
http://www.e-speakers.com/ I've never bought from the company but there is plenty of information on their site that may be of use to you. The only problem with PHL, is that they may be a little over your budget.

yes they looks nice, bue its too much, 96dB is too much i need 91-93 dB because if i use 2 Mid ill get an gain of around 3-4dB.

the eton curves are great, but the sens is not so good.....

sorry for my english
