I calculated this driver's fs (67hz), and made a vented box of around 0.4 cuft just for a test with the port tuned to (67 hz), and the dirver sounds good, atleats to my ears.
Ive never heard any peerless mids, or vifa, or any other "good branded" mids at home, and i wondered about something..
I understand how branded subwoofers or tweeters ARE better than el-cheapo ones, by having lighter/stronger materials and dual spiders and Uber-suspensions 🙂 , but in the case of the mids, they dont need extremly light materials, neither extreme presision as on tweeters,
unlike the 2 extremes, bass and highs, the mids have the easy part of the job, most of them have to cover from 400 hz to 2500hz,
What makes one mid, better than another one? Exept the sensibility ,the cone material? this one has a paper cone, and some "high end mids" have paper cones too..
this made me think about that test i did once...
After making some tests with different cables, i noticed that there was NO noticable difference between expensive audio cables and normal copper cables, the output signal was the same on all cables under 300k hz and under 15 ft, and unless the sound will be different, from two exactly same signals applied to a driver because of some "unmeasurable" reason,i wont pay 100$ more for a cable, that made me think about what "better sounding", really means!
Im just wondering, should i get a high end mid, like platinum audio, peerless or others and pay alot, or should i stick to this one. How can i be sure a "better?" mid will sound really better....

Believe me, I have compared two speaker cables at Filtronique SonOr (Lajeunesse boulevard). First one 900$, second one 4000$. Usually I don't believe these things, but the sound was <i>really</i> different (remark that I am not saying better since this is subjective 🙂 ).
What materials were the cables made of? have I missed to test some of them? and do you have any technical info about the cables you heard?

Actually the midrange has the hardest job to do. Most of the music is in the mids... and a really good mid will be more like 100/250->6-10k.
Price isn't always a determining factor in the quality either... some of the best mids are cheap full-ranges found at the Sally Ann...
