Dear all,
I have been running the PHL4531 along with the ATC SM75 standard and the Mundorf 164 UM2.1 AMT in an active system. Nothing to complain for me at my listening levels, yet I wanted to do some fun and explore to build my interpretation of the ATC SCM50 monitor - so I would need the dome for that purpose.
I have been looking around for "ATC-dome-subsitutes" - while a 100% will be impossible, several 7'' PA midranges may come close. I intend to run the mid from 300Hz to 2000Hz -6dB, a little lower than the ATC.
What do you think on the following PA mids - which would you consider for the desired purpose, or would you prefer another?
Would you think there are only minor differences among any of those 4 when compared to the ATC or Volt dome and the big step is dome vs. non-dome?
Here are my candidates - I am especially torn between 1 and 2:
1.) PHL 1120 (I somehow tend to prefer this one. Its used in a comparable system called trinity bei lsv-achenbach.de and PHL appears to have a good reputation)
2.) 18sound 6nd410 (good measurements compared to the old Accuton C173 on drivervault: https://sites.google.com/site/drivervault/driver-measurements/eminence-kappalite-3012ho)
3.) Audax PR17MO (which should be the first generation PHL?)
4.) Celestion CF0617M (rather new, no measurements found by me)
Thank you very much in advance for your help, discussion and suggestions.
Best,
Leif
