Hi there.
Currently, im running JBL LSR305s alongside a dayton MX15-22. The JBLs will play happy to about 55hz and the sub up to about 60hz, which makes for some decent response with a little EQ.
However, I'm wondering if there's any performance left on the table mids and highs wise. Sub is tight and clean, and will happily play as loud as I want and well below 20hz, but my monitors feel a tiny bit lacking, especially when I'm turning them up to 90-95dB (i know it'll blow my ears out, I just want to be distortion free as loud for as I wanna play them). I feel like at higher volumes, I run into a little woofer compression, and despite the measurements being pretty flat it's lacking warmth. I've found it hard to EQ that warmth you get with larger floorstanders and bookshelves in with this little system, at least comparing it to PMC Prophecy 9s I heard not long ago.
My goal is to get to about 40hz or so in a relatively small cabinet (probably 0.65-0.75cuft net). Does anyone have driver suggestions for 8" or 7" drivers around £100? I was looking at the Dayton SIG225 originally, but the RS180-4 and ETON 7-612/C8/32 have caught my eye - wondering if the ETON driver is worth the extra £50 per pair compared to the RS180.
Tweeter recommendations also welcome, but I wanna focus on the woofer and get the bulk of enclosure design outta the way lol
Thanks in advance!!!
