OK, so I'm really enjoying my CHN-70's that I put in the Pensil 7 cabinets. Has anyone or is anyone designing a cabinet specifically for this great little inexpensive driver? I just saw that Madisound had them for $23 (crazy cheap)..I would love to do another build and compare...or maybe I should just shut up and be happy with what I have...LOL... thanks.😀
So what I like about the sound of this setup is that the highs (guitar solos) are very forward and intense and the drums/bass are really really punchy and all is very clear...hope that helps...
Others can interject here but I have the CHR-70 in the FH3 cabinet and am very happy with the sound.
I really like the sound of the CHN-70 in a Karlsonator. Deep powerful room filling bass that needs no BSC and is balanced with nice mids and highs. The CHN-70, once behind a K aperture actually sounds smooth and much better than a direct radiator.

How is CHN-70 when compared with other MA drivers like CHR-70, CHP-70, pluvia etc. Does its cheap price indicates its not as good as those other MA drivers? or in certain enclousers it will be doing good as those others?

Compared to A7.3:

It should have been named JPN-70 not CHN-70 which is the other Asian country 🙂
I did not like how it sounded as a direct radiator but now listen to it daily on Karlsonator powered with a 5w class A amp.

Cute, but if you expand your definition of Asian to the southern or northern regions, there'd be a few more prefixes. 😀
In this thread, take the base Karlsonator 12 plan from post 1 and scale it 0.44x height and depth and 0.55x in width.

Hey Dave, what does it mean that it's designed for the Japanese market? Do the Japanese like a different kind of sound from their speakers that we do? Thanks
In this case an elevated midrange to lower treble region. The driver does have quite decent DDR/low level detail capabilities.

Sorry to be so persistent on this subject, but I really think this CHN-70 is a jewel in the A7 pensil cabinet...the more I listen the more I'm blown away...I'm really happy, so that's what counts...thanks for all that have responded to this newbie...
