Advice on which quality driver to pair with a 300B low Wattage amp

[cipriano]

Would you do some open baffles? Benefits are speed and no cabinet resonance. If so, Lii F-15 and F-18 are worth a look. I have F-15's in Caintuck's and I'm quite smitten.

Hi there,

i found the ultimate design in the other thread already mentioned

Post in thread 'Front loaded Horn - how does that work with whizzer cones?'

Just adding another subjective comment, but related to the topic. It is regarding Troy Crowe’s horn no. 1548. In his YouTube clip of the horn paired with the AER BD3 driver that has a whizzer cone, he mentions “it projected quite a wide coverage and wasn’t beamy at all..”

Hi guys, thanks a lot, those horn speakers look really nice also, i am a bit afraid that they might be a bit harsh in the higher frequencies, i heard some horn speakers and they weren’t my sound.
Are these more forgiving?

My system consists of an ELEKIT 8500 preamp
Elekit 8200 AMP running 6l6 tubes
MA Alpair 10.3 inside one of their basic bass Reflex designs
A RIPOL Subwoofer ( Do a search for "jazzman diy electrostatic speakers" )
Mini DSP HD
a craigslist found Yamaha integrated amp converted for subwoofer duties ( 140 watts per channel into 4 ohms ) ( the connector pins were pulled and the DSP runs direct to the PWR Amp )
The DSP runs flat for the Mark Audio drivers
Crosses over at 80 HZ at 12 db roll off
This way the Mark Audio Drivers/ Cabinet never approach their resonance point and prevents the RIPOL from developing any cavity resonances.
After many years of trial and error, this seems to check most of the boxes.
