Selenium D-250X 1" is really something ... efficient, dynamic, low price tag...low distortion... very close sound to Atlas PD-5VH used in Klipsch phenomenon heritage speakers.... for tweets I would say CT125 by Bob (replaced with my Klipsch's original one and like sweeping a blanket from speakers)
Thanks,sounds very interesting,I'll have to take a look at the Selenium D-250X.
It's a classic. Very good mid driver. Top off the lot. Very inexpensive.😉 Needs tweeter to match (horn).
Also:
100W Universal Horn Driver | DU-100 (DU100) | Distributed By MCM
Dayton Audio D1075T 75W Driver with 70V Transformer 300-190
(for the Dayton note the comment/review about removing the transformer.)
Like the Atlas Sound PD60, I doubt either should be used above 2-3 kHz.

your welcome
I use it instead of Klipsch original Atlas and there is no difference in A-B test... there is no frequency gap in the sound. it is pretty low-priced, 70$ or so / pair
yep its a good driver but needs to meet a good horn tweeter with high efficiency as itself. D-250X is 107db if I'm not mistaken and need a tweet in this sensitivity range. ATP 50 of eminence will do the job but needs a good crossing XOver to level the octaves and hz
thats it
if you don't wanna use tweets you can use Faital HF-200 driver that is a cruel monster going from 400hz to almost 20kz 😱 500 for a pair... but if I was going to spend such money, I'd rather to go these options:
1- Selenium D-250X as mid + CT125 Bob Crites tweets
or
2- Selenium 2" D405 as mid + Selenium D220TI as tweets
I don't like 2" drivers to be used as a hifi or hi-end speaker... 1" would be enough.... they are more musical and smoother than bigger drivers... and after all, what levels do we listen in hifi?
The best wide bandwith low price horn driver I know is the fatialpro 1,4"
500Hz -20kHz 180euro. for hifi use it can be crossed very low also the fatialpro horn that comes with it is very cheep.

Most pf the Faital drivers look great on paper, but I've never heard one (that I know of).
Do they live up to their specs?

Thanks but sincerely I would go with the BMS 4555 at 218 Euro/pair : BMS 4555 Hochton-Treiber 1,5" 8 Ohm - - NEU - - | eBay I don't think that the diference in money btw these two drivers(Faital are 376Euro/pair)will be worth in term of sonic performance.....see on the web that (classic now)BMS 4524(-118 Euro/pair) vs B&C DE 250(-310 Euro/pair) measurements and listening impressions...I'm so glad when I find that quality is not always(in fact in most of the cases)price related...anyway it's much more to say on this price/performance subject but it takes space and time...🙂
Did some basic test on the PDB512. Workable range from 1.5KHz to 7KHz. Nasty breakup after that.
Not too bad for the price. I would be quite cautious with the Rated Power though.
The bms-pro 4555 is 1kHz to 20kHz. That can a 30euro HF driver do also. I would advise the 18sound xd125 1" with horn attached, super flat response 52 Euro great looking horn.http://www.blue-music.de/1-zoll-treiber/18-sound-xd125-hf-compression-treiber.html?force_sid=1da061320b5abc004f9a7baf2f80e42c

The bms pro 4550 would do 800hz upto 20kHz.
But a HF driver that does 500Hz to 20kHz is often 450 Euro for one driver so the fatialpro is very cheep cost almost 1/3 that price 180 euro.
Budget 1" of BMS-pro 1500hz to 30kHz 50 euro http://www.blue-music.de/1-zoll-treiber/bms-4524-1-hochtontreiber-25-w-8-ohm.html?force_sid=1da061320b5abc004f9a7baf2f80e42c
budget 1" fatialpro 40 euro.http://www.blue-music.de/1-zoll-treiber/faital-pro-hf100-1-hochtontreiber-30-w-8-ohm.html?force_sid=1da061320b5abc004f9a7baf2f80e42c

That's ok....but for BMS 4555 the recomended crossover is 800 Hz (intended to be used up to 80 RMS) but in home listening conditions with a 3 or 4 Wats from a SET I would asked you if they can go as low as 600 Hz with very good results!?!?I guess they will....I'll try this when i'll have the ocasion...
I repet the question for every body(sory for my bad english):
Is the factory recomended lowest crossover point on a CD calculated having in mind the power more exactly the very high power(and the efects that come with this-distorsion,overheating,etc) which-in my case-if raported to SET valve amplifier in home listening(at least this is my choice for good reasons)is even bigger up to 20-30 times-or even more???????
Then we can use a CD expecting good results((I have only my ears,I don't have measurements equipment) which has let's say like in our case an 500 Hz-20000 Hz frequency range and an 800 Hz recomended low cut off)),from 600 Hz up knowing that the drivers will see very very small power so the diaphragm will have a very reduced motion and amplitude movement????????
I'm learning so.....wait for your opinions!!

I really depends from case to case whether you can successfully cross a CD lower and you can't tell without looking at some distortion measurements and see what is the trend of those near the recommended crossover point. Only then you can try and extrapolate "what would happen if I cross lower in a home environment"
SunRa,I perfectly agree with you that it depends from driver to driver and that's why I'll buy some measurements gear to see clear what's happen on frequency response...anyway after all,the best "measurement" equipment I still believe it's the EAR....
