Just passing on the news, enjoy

Plenty of copper in the motors, 14mm linear throw, aluminium cone, high output and high fidelity versions offered.

There are 10 inch versions too. Really like the look of them, wish i was in the US, they would be toooo expensive to ship overseas

Wow, those are real nice looking drivers. Definately a lot of bang for your buck here. I wonder how they compare sound quality wise to my Ascendant Audio Atlas.

Very excited, measurments or reviews?

What would you recommend for a good vented sub for home cinema the dayton or aespeakers AV12?

wigginjs · 6th September 2005, 07:43 PM

If you are sure that you want a vented enclosure you should use the Dayton high output reference drivers and not the high fidelity. The high fidelity work best in a sealed enclosure and the high output work best in a vented. I don't know which alignment the AV12 works best in and I also don't know anything about the frequency response or distortion figures of these drivers. More would have to be known in order to recommend one over another.

what would be a good volume for a sealed box to hold that HiFi Dayton? I have one, and it is very very impressive, very very well built. I am gonna build a sub with it at: Tade no subwoofer.

I got the PE sale flyer in the mail today and Tade, your prayers have been answered. A wonderfull subwoofer design from the engineer of that very driver himself. Have fun!

tade · 25th September 2005, 02:26 AM
