18 Sound - AMT200P

[ErnieM]

Another addition to the small world of prosound AMT's.

Eighteen Sound - Professional loudspeakers

Looks like it has a little bit more sensitivity than Beyma or Mundorf for the size and bandwidth.

"Dedicated waveguide available"

I like this part, but the question is how much is it and where can one buy it in U.S.

From the looks of the mechanical design I have the impression that the waveguide would be mandatory for proper mounting.
I guess it will cost about the same as the AMTs of their competitors,

datasheet claims "Driver mounted on Eighteen Sound XR1464C horn". I don't think this is correct looking at the horn though: Eighteen Sound - Professional loudspeakers

looks like a great driver from the limited available info.

Eighteensound AMT200P - Air Motion Transformer - Lautsprecher-Technik

Not cheap. Similar price range as Mundorf.

Review:

Price is dropping, but still high:

Still don't see any USA price listings.

Looks like 18 Sound AMT200P should sound much better with the horn, kind of mandatory in fact, while Beyma TPL150 gets too much of a rise between 1.5kHz-6kHz range with the horn. I do prefer the Beyma without the horn, which adds a bit of brightness/forwardness IME. Price..both too expensive 🙁
For those who would say DSP/EQ will fix everything, not so much, although I do hold hope for those ultra expensive DSP solutions I have not tried yet.

Anybody uses this AMT200P? Any opinion?
