Recalling TS numbers from memory, this driver has a Qts of 0.59, Fs of 35Hz, Xmax of 4mm and an efficiency of around 95dB.
In a ripole, theoretically the Fs will be lowered and Qts raised somewhat, both parameters going in the right direction for dipole use...
Also, this driver has a huge, quite broad peak around 2Khz, but in a ripole alignment this would possibly be tamed due to the geometry of the thing
Basically I want to make a relatively efficient passive speaker system of around 95dB /m to drive with medium power tube amps and I wonder if two ripole beta 15s per side would create satisfying bass?
