Supravox 215 RTF data

[Deodato]

Does anyone have distortion/spectral decay/impulse response data from the Supravox 215 RTF wide range driver?

I know this kind of speaker tends to be judged subjectively only, but I guess I want to be biased with some objective data.

That's why I would try to have a good listen to them and not judge by the numbers. What counts is how they sound....

In number 57 of italian magazine "Costruire Hi-fi" there were measurements of Supravox 215RTF and few other full range drivers.
However, measured were only freq. responses on (0 & 30 degrees), ac. phase . and impedance. If interested, I could try to make a photo of that page and send you a picture because I don't have scanner.

It looks like very nice driver but it needs tweeter over 10kHz.
In Paris I listened to open buffle 3-way with Supravox 285, 215 & Beyma Cp21f and it sounded very nice.

That's how I intend to use Supravox 215 RTF, though I'll cross lower. I know there are other good 8" midranges. I need 8" because I'll use it in an open baffle design. Supravox 215 RTF would be the easiest to use (reasonably flat SPL/Freq) and pretty good to the eye, too (looks do matter to me and very subjectively so). If just want to be sure about the other data... At Supravox they couldn't help me either.

I'm using the Phy-HP LB21 on a open baffle with woofers and ribbon tweeters crossed at 100Hz and 5kHz. The Phy has highly identical specs as the Supravox (and I guess they have a highly identical sound character as well). Since you also live in Amsterdam you are welcome to come over for a listening afternoon.
