I'm still building my 3-way which is a combination of a bass-reflex low cabinet (2x Visaton W250S), a mid horn (Visaton DR45+M300) and high horn (Visaton TL16H).
But I'm unsure about the low-mid. They (Visaton literature) let that mid horn go down to 800HZ. Looks low for such a speaker for me. While at the same time going up to 800Hz for 2 25cm speakers looks high. The distance between them is coming below a wavelength.
Now I have from a previous build a couple of Fostex FE208Ez around. The full-range I did with them isn't for me as they lack seriously in the low end. But they do sound great in the voice range. They have a good efficiency as well. So it looks as if they might be a good mid-low (400-3000). I dropped the parameters in an online calculator and this shows up as a 4.2 liter closed box. Seems very small but OK.
Anyone experience using this speaker this way?
