3 Way Coaxial

[hugobors]

Hello,

I Plan to build a 3 way speaker with a high sensitivity medium-treble coax (phl coax???) passive filtered and a woofer self powered.

What do you think about the concept, and which driver to use.???

I was thinking using 6" (1520) or 8" phl coax (I don't know which 1" driver to mount on the back of phl : radian?, beyma?, bms?).

Any other idea???


Thanks for your help.

Hi Hugues,

I've done something vaguely similar, using a 8" KEF UniQ coax (passive) and several Audax woofers powered by a plate amp. I of course saw no need to choke the sound with a box, so it might not be quite what you are looking for . I'm still working (very slowly) on it, sounds good so far. The imaging is about the best I have heard in my room. Can't comment on the PHL's since I have never heard them, but if you need highish efficiency, these Beyma's might do the trick : http://www.beyma.de/seiten/beymatabl...BX.pdf#search='BEYMA%208BX'
Good luck with your project.

Cheers,

AJ

My fave 1" CD for many years was the Beyma CP380M. However the BMS 4552N is superb.

Another idea for a 3 way coax would be a 15" prosound driver with a 2" CD and using a BMS 4590/4592 2" coax CD. I've been using the BMS 4590 in my horns for years.
