OK. I'm suggesting replacing the FR in the MJK design with a tweeter that goes LOW.
Here is the spec sheet for the Eminence 15A alpha:
www.eminence.com/pdf/alpha-15a.pdf
You can see the response runs pretty flat up to ~1kHz, before kicking up.
Here is a spec sheet for a Wavecor tweeter, the TW030WA02:
4 Ohm - Ferro - TW030WA02 - Soundlabs Group
You can see this tweeter runs pretty low! Check out the response curve.
The sensitivity is quite high: 94.5dB
The power handling is good: ~35W nominal.
Does anyone think that this tweeter could be successfully mated with the 15A to make a successful OB? Maybe using steeper XO slopes? or even digital XO?
Plus: Look at the top-end sizzle on tap! (You'll never need a supertweeter!)
Plus: The low cost of the tweeter.
Minus: Crossing the 15A higher, but perhaps not that much, as the tweeter goes low. (ie Risking incurring "the wrath" for suggesting XO'ing inside the telephone band!)
Consensus please? Is this worth trying?
Thanks
Doug
