Many people seem to find the Accuton C173-6-90 the best middriver out there. I agree based on experience from Marten design speakers in my hometown Gothenburg.
It is very hard to find any DIY designs with this driver though. The only one I find right now is the humble statement on humble homemade hifi.
IMHO it would be nice to have a 3-way that makes use of the high sensitivity of the C173. Using a pair of Accutons new 8" drivers would be an expensive overkill since you don't need their low inductance motors when you cross them low to a 6,5” mid. Perhaps something like a pair of Scanspeak discovery 22W which has quite high sensitivity?
A "modern" choice of tweeter would be an AMT/magnetostat. I would prefer to avoid the steep filter required for a true ribbontweeter.
Does anyone know of a project like this ?
