HiVi vs Peerless new speaker design

guru_jeff · 17th July 2006, 07:28 AM

I'm looking at some drivers for my home theater system. I'm trying to decide between Peerless (tweet 811830, mid 830860, woofer 830868) and HiVi (tweet I haven't selected, mid M5a, woofer M8A)
Has anyone had any experience with either or have any thoughts. Any thoughts between the 2 lines 8a or 8n?

Hi,

Unless you have measuring equipment choose a complete design.

Take a look a murphyblasters 3-way design, econoline version :

Generally for HT a 6.5" MTM or TMM is as effective as an 8" 3 way.

e.g :

Thank you for the links. might be helpful when designing my crossover.

My question was about the quality of speakers I've chosen for my design. I've seen many other designs with 3 ways using 6.5" or whatever, but this is what I've selected. I wanted to get some feedback from someone that has used either or both brands before and get their thoughts.

Thanks again
