That elusive 90dB driver
Thanks, Richard, and others, for your input. I'm shooting between .5 and .7 for the box load. So far, of the speakers mentioned, none have the sensitivity required, and most also do not have rubber surrounds. I think i'm gonna settle on a Vifa Pl26
-09-08. It's got everything but the sensitivity, and as you mention, room gain may give me the extra dB or two that I'm looking for. Anyway, if nothing turns up in the next few days, I'm moving on and hoping the driver integrates with the others already boxed and waiting. Thanks again for the input. I'm using a four way series design (the first three are in a separate box sitting on top of the box waiting for the other driver I've been looking for. I'm using a Morel MDT30, crossed at 2700Hz to a Seas CB17RCY/P, which in turn, strangely enough, is crossed to an Audax HM210GO at 270Hz. The combination sounds better than I'd anticipated, and I have to say that I haven't heard anything sound as good (without deep base, of course) in most of the audition rooms I've been in recently. Hopefully, the additional driver will give me the extra slam needed to register the realism in Welli's Victory as well as other works. Anyway, best of luck to you guys.
