Hello gals and guys,
I'd like to know what you'd do with a bunch of Monacor SP-50x. I don't mean the new version with the dreaded plasic-chrome whizzer but I mean with the old ones, which got the bigger whizzer paper cone. I know of the Klang+Ton Cheap Trick CT193 (of the German magazine Klang+Ton) which used the SPH-60X which I've built several times and sounds really great, very high dynamics and for the size of the FR, unrivaled bass performance, the horn reflex performs amazingly. Since I've already built so many of them (the 4 Ohm version performs even better!) I'd like to hear what you think about the SP-50X and how you'd like to use them. They've got a good spl (just a tad below 90dB/2,83V), got a very nice, even and borad midrange and the highs are nice, better than the SPH-60X but good dome tweeters will perform better on the top end. The SP-50X sound very smooth and realistic in the hights, unlike the actual model.
What would you do with these FR 13cm drivers?
Use them as sat for 10" or 12" subs?
Can you imagine them as double mids (MTM) in a PA speaker?
I've heard them in a 8x and 4x configuration for two disco side rooms, but I don't have enough of them and the chrome plastic ones sound so horrible, it's not even funny anymore.
I'm not fixed on PA, what would you use them for?
