Hi :) and first project questions (TangBand W5-1138SMF)

Hello DIYers,

I'm new to this hobby and planning to make myself a set of home theatre speakers using my 3D printer. Maybe later also a sub if need be 😉

I saw this sub/mid range woofer, the TangBand W5-1138SMF, which seems to have really deep low end. I've seen it paired with the Dayton Audio RS100-4 ("Dinas" speakers from this video).

I really liked the concept and tinkered a bit in WinISD and VituixCAD. However, now I'm wondering if there wouldn't be other options to replace the RS100-4 with something more geared towards high end and let the Tang Band do the job in the mids.
Would you have anything else to recommend? Mainly cheaper. I had issue finding something that would crossover nicely at 1 kHz or so.

Also, how bad would the distortion be if a tweeter was to be crossover too close to Fs with a DSP ? I've read somewhere that it might be less of an issue than with a passive XO.

Anyway, happy to be part of the adventure!
 
Welcome to the show. 🙂

Not the right place to discuss this, but, cheaper but more high end? I think with Dayton you cant get cheaper to high end! The RS is from the Reference class. Visatons costs maybe double the price.
 
Oops sorry, where should this be discussed ?

By high-end I meant high frequencies. I mainly want to discuss the alternatives in that price range, if you say it can't get much better than the RS100-4 in that config I'll take it!
 
This is the introduction site from members area. Better ask in the right area. Have you read the welcome post?

Dont get me wrong. The Daytons are quite good for the price. Sure there are other good fullrange chassis also from tangband or seas as well.
